What you’ll get to do
As a senior developer on our Position Management team, you will be working on our ground-breaking solution that helps companies manage their workforce. Your impact will be evident through your effective participation in the entire lifecycle of our software including design, analysis, prototyping, development, testing, deployment, and support of our products. You will work closely and collaborate with product owners, design experts, implementation partners, and Dayforce personnel to envision and deliver functionality. You will be conducting code reviews of peer work and mentoring other developers.
If you are a technology enthusiast, have passion for creating great software, want to see your creation utilized by thousands of people all over the world, and possess the following qualifications, we want to talk to you.
Skills and experience we value
- AI-accelerated engineering: demonstrated use of AI developer tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Codeium etc.) to increase velocity and quality—such as generating unit tests, assisting refactors, drafting PR summaries/runbooks, or composing queries/migrations. Be prepared to discuss measurable impact (cycle time, PR throughput, defect rate, coverage, or MTTR).
- Solid knowledge of object-oriented principles (SOLID) and experience applying them in practice using C#/.NET, including async/await and LINQ.
- Experience with modern .NET (e.g., .NET 6+) and the ability to modernize .NET Framework code where needed.
- Demonstrated experience building production UIs with the JavaScript stack, especially React and TypeScript
- Working knowledge of modern web technologies including: HTML5, CSS3, SVG, Web APIs, JSON, and REST (gRPC/GraphQL a plus).
- Strong SQL skills (SQL Server) including indexing, query performance tuning, and transactions.
- Practical experience with cloud and delivery: Docker containers and CI/CD (e.g., GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps); experience deploying to a major cloud (Azure/AWS/GCP).
- Testing and quality focus: unit/integration/E2E tests (xUnit/NUnit/Jest/Playwright/Cypress) and code reviews.
- Security fundamentals: OWASP basics and handling of PII.
What would make you really stand out
- AI-accelerated development experience. You use AI agent in your development workflow on daily basis
- Experience integrating LLM capabilities into products (e.g., retrieval/RAG, prompt design, evaluation/guardrails) is a plus.
- Hands-on experience applying design patterns, writing automated tests, and optimizing performance (front and back end).
- Good understanding of multi-threading, concurrency, and thread synchronization.
- Experience with event-driven systems and messaging (e.g., Kafka, Azure Service Bus) and caching (e.g., Redis).
- Observability in production (structured logging, metrics, tracing with OpenTelemetry/App Insights/Prometheus).
- Disciplined self-starter, capable of working independently as well as in close collaboration within an agile development team.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
