• Build integration features, RESTful APIs, and shared libraries in line with established contracts and architectural patterns, including event-driven and asynchronous processes developed by the team
• Enhance and maintain integration logic within existing product applications, including monolithic systems, to accelerate the delivery of customer integrations
• Contribute to the evolution and adherence of the team’s API standards covering versioning, contracts, and deprecation
• Deliver scoped designs into deployed, functional solutions
• This role may include front-end coding at times, with training and support provided

Own Your Work End to End

• Thoroughly test work before progressing, write unit and integration tests, and help ensure adequate acceptance and end-to-end coverage
• Maintain ownership of your work through all stages of the SDLC to production, addressing any production issues as they arise
• Meet the team’s standards for code quality and test coverage before code review
• Take part in the team’s support and on-call rotation for the integrations managed by the group

Contribute to the Platform Direction

• Collaborate on the architecture and development of MeridianLink’s enterprise integration platform as it advances towards production
• Identify recurring integration patterns in existing products for adoption as shared platform services
• Proactively highlight integration risks, blockers, and design gaps early in the process to facilitate resolution during design

Collaboration & Growing Others

• Actively participate in design discussions and code reviews, both giving and receiving feedback in a constructive manner
• Support the onboarding of Engineer I teammates; provide context and help them overcome obstacles
• Contribute to documentation that helps the team share knowledge and reduce reliance on unwritten expertise

Technical Execution & Delivery

• Independently completes assigned features and bug fixes, needing only minimal day-to-day oversight
• Designs components within a clearly defined scope, escalating more complex system design questions as needed
• Engages in code reviews and offers constructive feedback
• Proactively communicates blockers rather than waiting for scheduled check-ins

Craft & Professionalism

• Writes tests that thoroughly cover the delivered functionality
• Monitors and quickly responds to issues related to their work
• Documents technical decisions and implementation details for future reference by others

Integration Engineering

• Understands how APIs, contracts, and versioning maintain stable integrations as connected systems evolve
• Builds both synchronous and asynchronous integration flows and recognizes which approach best suits specific scenarios
• Troubleshoots issues across service boundaries, efficiently tracing integration failures to their root cause

Working Across New and Established Code

• Navigates smoothly between modern .NET services and established .NET Framework codebases
• Delivers safe, thoroughly tested updates within large monolithic applications
• Translates current integration patterns to align with strategic platform directions, building solutions that ease future transitions

AI-Assisted Engineering

• Utilizes modern AI coding harnesses daily (such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Pi) with an understanding of agents: models paired with harnesses
• Applies AI tools throughout the software development lifecycle—from coding and reviews to test and documentation generation
• Actively shares effective AI-driven development practices with teammates

Required Experience

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, independently delivering features in production environments
• Strong grasp of algorithms, data structures, and core software design principles
• Proficiency with standard development tools including Git, Docker, automated testing, and modern scripting languages
• Consistent daily use of AI-assisted development tools
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience
• Expertise in C# and the .NET ecosystem, including significant experience with .NET Framework codebases
• Experience developing or supporting production APIs and integration features
• Experience working within large, established codebases
• Daily hands-on use of modern AI coding harnesses (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi, or similar), with practical understanding of agents (model plus harness)
• Experience creating unit and integration tests, including leveraging AI tools during test development
• Experience with SQL

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience deploying and operating applications on Azure
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures or enterprise messaging patterns
• Understanding of event streaming platforms and asynchronous processing models
• Knowledge of distributed systems fundamentals such as scaling, data storage, and fault tolerance
• Experience with API gateway solutions and managing API lifecycles, including versioning and contracts
• Background in writing acceptance and end-to-end tests, with Playwright experience a plus
• In-depth understanding of harness mechanics, including memory, tool calls, and hooks, and their influence on agent behavior
• Familiarity with VB.NET
• Experience integrating with third-party or external partner systems
• Prior work in fintech or financial services environments
• Front - end experience (React)
