Principal Software Engineer

NIC MAP is looking for a Principal Software Engineer to join our engineering team. You will design build and maintain the software that powers our cloud-based SaaS platform writing production code shaping architecture and keeping things reliable and scalable.

We're a small flat team where titles matter far less than what you ship. You'll own real problems end-to-end and figure out the best path forward whether that means diving into unfamiliar code spinning up an AI agent or pulling in a teammate for a quick design session.

We expect AI-forward engineering as a baseline. If you're already using Claude Code or Cursor as a natural part of how you write debug and ship you'll fit here.

What You'll Do

• Design develop and maintain full stack applications using C# .NET 8+ MSSQL and PostgreSQL. Front-end work spans Angular React Next.js Vite Tailwind and shadcn/ui. Python for data engineering. We pick the right tool for the problem.
• Use AI tooling daily (Claude Code Cursor AI agents MCP connectors) to ship faster and eliminate toil.
• Architect and deliver solutions across the full stack owning features from concept through production.
• Manage production workloads in Azure including Azure Container Apps (ACA) monitoring and operational support.
• Debug troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues and production incidents.
• Work directly with anyone on the team (engineers product leadership) to plan estimate and deliver.

What We're Looking For

Ownership mentality. You take a task make it yours and drive it to completion.
Good judgment about your own limits. When you're out over your skis you stop and ask questions early.
Fluency with AI-forward tooling (Claude Code Cursor AI agents MCP connectors). You should already be fast with these tools.
Ability to ramp up on unfamiliar domains and technologies quickly through AI-assisted research rapid prototyping or whatever gets you there.
Advanced proficiency in C# .NET and full stack development.
Strong front-end experience across Angular React Next.js Vite Tailwind shadcn/ui and TypeScript. Depth in a few and the ability to pick up new ones fast.
Python proficiency for data engineering and analytics workloads.
Solid database design query optimization and RESTful API skills (SOLID Entity Framework Core).
Hands-on Azure experience including containerized workloads (ACA) and GitHub-based CI/CD.

Qualifications

• Experience building AI-powered features in production (prompt engineering RAG embeddings document indexing).
• GitHub Actions infrastructure-as-code or container orchestration in Azure.
• Cosmos DB Service Bus or other Azure PaaS services.
• SaaS product development with multi-tenant architectures.
• Healthcare data standards (HL7 FHIR) or data-intensive platforms.
• Significant professional experience in software engineering. We care about what you can do. The problems here require senior-level judgment and depth.
• Production SaaS experience required. CS degree or equivalent.
