About the role

Sr. Software Engineer Hot JobAurora Corporate - Aurora, NE 68818
Description
About the role: We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to work on our core business platform — the system that runs settlements, payments, invoices, contracts, inventory, and related operations for a large agricultural cooperative. This is a hybrid IC role: you will deliver product features and fixes alongside work that improves how we build and ship — automated testing, CI/CD, reliability, security hygiene, and day-to-day engineering quality. Much of the work is in a long-lived production codebase: you will change existing behavior carefully, refactor toward testability, and leave the next person in a better place. You will partner with existing engineers and an external engineering partner, use AI-assisted development as a standard part of your workflow, and help raise the bar for how the team ships.
What you will do:
  • Design, build, and maintain features across the.
  • NET stack (C#, desktop and service layers) and SQL Server, including business logic that lives in stored procedures
  • Refactor existing C# and SQL as you go — characterize current behavior with tests, improve structure incrementally, and avoid big-bang rewrites
  • Own work end-to-end: understand the business path, implement the change, add automated coverage, and see it through review and release
  • Strengthen delivery: improve build/test pipelines, migration safety, and the practices that make small, frequent changes the default
  • Grow automated tests on high-value paths (unit, SQL/integration, API) so confidence comes from the pipeline, not from babysitting releases
  • Contribute to Azure-hosted services and supporting infrastructure with a security- and operations-aware mindset
  • Use AI coding assistants daily — for implementation, review, tests, and investigation — and help the team adopt effective patterns
  • Collaborate with employees and external engineering partners; mentor peers through clear design, review, and documentation of important decisions
What we are looking for:
  • Required 7+ years professional software development experience, including substantial C# /.NETStrong T-SQL and SQL Server experience; comfortable reading and changing complex stored procedures and data models
  • Experience with CI/CD (Azure DevOps preferred) and a habit of shipping behind automated checks
  • Working knowledge of Azure services commonly used with.
  • NET applications
  • Experience owning and refactoring large existing production codebases, not only building new services
  • Proven practice writing automated tests and improving coverage on systems that already run in production
  • Fluency with AI-assisted software development (e.g. Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, or equivalent) as a core part of how you work — not an occasional experiment
  • Ability to work hybrid and collaborate effectively with a distributed team
  • Must be able to attend occasional in-person meetings in our Omaha office, our headquarters in Aurora, Nebraska, and make occasional trips to other offices as needed
  • PreferredBackground in ERP, accounting, payments, inventory, or other financial / transactional systems
  • Experience with WinForms, WCF, Service Fabric, or similar enterprise desktop/service architectures
  • Exposure to infrastructure-as-code, application security hardening, or observability (logging, metrics, alerts)
  • Agricultural, commodity, or cooperative industry experience
  • Success in the first year looks like
  • You are a trusted owner on meaningful product work and on platform improvements that make delivery safer and faster
  • High-value paths have better automated coverage, and merges rely on required checks rather than hope
  • Peers can pick up areas you touch; important behavior is captured in tests and documentationAI-assisted development is part of how the team ships, with clear habits around review and verification
Benefits:
  • Competitive wages
  • Medical (PPO & High-Deductible plans), Dental, & Vision insurance
  • Flexible/HSA Spending PlansLife Insurance 401K Plan with match

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
