Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. LemonEdge is a next-generation accounting platform purpose-built for private capital markets. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will own meaningful parts of the accounting platform, designing and shipping features that automate fund operations and enhance system performance.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and ship features and services on the LemonEdge platform end-to-end — from data model and API design through testing, deployment, and production operation
- Identify and implement high-impact improvements: performance baselines, reliability hardening, refactoring of high-traffic paths, and optimizing data-access patterns the rest of the platform sits on
- Partner with Product, Client Success, and peer engineering teams to scope work, own delivery of committed customer-visible milestones across the quarterly roadmap, and surface trade-offs and risks early rather than late
- Work directly with technical and subject-matter accounting experts both internally and from our clients to shape the solution and rapidly iterate on their feedback
- Raise the engineering bar through thorough code review, design feedback, and mentoring of mid-level engineers toward production ownership
- Leverage agentic coding tools pragmatically in your day-to-day work, and expand the safe operating patterns that make AI-accelerated delivery trustworthy such as automated test coverage at PR time, regression prevention, validation of generated code, and norms for where AI output can and cannot yet be trusted
- Champion supportability and customer experience: strong observability, disciplined incident response, SLA adherence, and a proactive posture on defects rather than a reactive one
Skills
- 7+ years building production software, with a track record of shipping non-trivial systems on committed timelines
- Strong technical depth in a modern server-side stack. Working experience with .NET / C# is strongly preferred; we will consider candidates with equivalent depth in another typed, managed-runtime ecosystem who can ramp quickly
- Demonstrated success improving an existing platform at scale; you are energized by making a living codebase faster, safer, and easier to change, not only by greenfield work
- Comfort across the full delivery lifecycle: data modeling, API design, testing strategy, CI/CD, observability, and production operations in a cloud-hosted SaaS environment
- Working fluency with AI-assisted development tools, paired with the judgment to know where they accelerate you and where they cannot yet be trusted
- A high bar for quality: you own every line of code you ship, you write tests as a habit rather than an obligation, and you hold the line on regression prevention
- Self-direction and pragmatism; you can take an ambiguous problem, scope it honestly, and drive it to a shipped outcome without waiting to be unblocked
- Strong written communication and a collaborative working style that holds up across engineering, product, and client-facing teams in a distributed company
- Experience operating SaaS systems on Kubernetes or a comparable cloud-native platform — observability, on-call practice, cloud cost awareness
- Background in fintech, fund administration, partnership accounting, or another domain with non-trivial financial logic and audit expectations
- Experience defining team-level guardrails for AI-assisted development — usage policies, evaluation of generated code, prompt and context practices, or building LLM-backed product capabilities safely
- Experience contributing to a platform migration, modernization, or re-architecture while continuing to deliver value to existing customers
- Experience operating in an early-stage or high-growth environment where shape and process are still being defined
Benefits
- Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision
- Remote work options
- 401(k) plan with employer contributions
- Paid time off
- Generous parental and family leave policies
- Challenging problems to tackle with a supportive, entrepreneurially driven team
- A strong work culture centered on integrity, excellence, and transparency
