The Software Engineer will develop high-quality C# applications, write clean and efficient code, and ensure timely delivery of projects. Responsibilities include debugging, collaborating with teams, participating in code reviews, and contributing to documentation and community events.
At Livefront, we help companies design and build world-class digital products that command attention and inspire joy. We've helped household names like Target, Samsung, General Mills, and Optum create experiences that have reached millions of people, and startups like HomeSpotter and Credly build entirely new businesses that challenge their industries' status quo.
We’re looking for an outstanding Software Engineer to join our team.
Who you are
You’re a curious, proactive backend or full-stack engineer with a fluent command of the tools and frameworks of your platform, and are recognized by your team as a trusted domain expert. You have a knack for writing readable, maintainable code and know how to balance getting it done with getting it right. You don’t shy away from big engineering challenges and have a track record of helping to bring technically ambitious projects to timely completion. You have an eye for detail and enjoy collaborating with UI designers to implement intricate interfaces faithfully. You’re a terrific communicator who can help cross-functional teams navigate from idea to implementation. Above all, you’re a self-starter who thrives in autonomy and can work effectively with little oversight.
