Our secure, intuitive technology helps employers bring humanity, certainty, and efficiency to some of the most complex moments in the workplace.

Software Engineer IV / Tech Lead

The Software Engineer IV / Tech Lead is a hands-on technical leader who owns the core infrastructure that powers AbsenceSoft's enterprise leave management platform. This is a formal tech lead role, not a senior IC position with a title attached — you'll be expected to mentor engineers, drive architecture, and shape technical planning, in addition to writing production-quality code yourself. You'll lead through technical excellence, architectural influence, and mentorship, partnering closely with Engineering and Product leadership to balance platform investment against product priorities and drive the long-term health of the platform

What You’ll Do

• Lead major technical initiatives — set direction, make key decisions, and coordinate engineering efforts across teams

• Architect and build enterprise identity systems, implementing OAuth2, SAML 2.0, and OIDC, and defining authorization models like RBAC and data access governance

• Own multi-tenant architecture, designing data isolation and provisioning workflows that make customer onboarding seamless and scalable

• Ship complex features and platform components using .NET/C# on AWS, applying enterprise-grade engineering practices along the way

• Strengthen data infrastructure by improving processing pipelines for reliability, observability, and performance, and by resolving complex production issues before they become bigger problems

• Shape the roadmap by partnering with Engineering and Product leadership to balance platform investment against feature delivery, and by evaluating new technologies worth adopting

• Raise the bar for the team through code and design reviews, mentorship across multiple teams, and continuous improvement via refactoring, automation, and tooling

• Help uphold security and compliance standards across your area of the platform

What’ll Set You Up for Success

Required Skills:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent experience — plus a track record leading complex technical initiatives

• Advanced proficiency in .NET/C#, building enterprise-grade software on a modern stack

• Hands-on experience implementing identity and authentication protocols (OAuth2, SAML 2.0, OIDC) in enterprise SaaS environments

• Proven ability designing multi-tenant SaaS architectures, including tenant isolation, data access patterns, and provisioning workflows

• Strong grasp of system architecture, scalability principles, and authorization frameworks (RBAC, data governance) in regulated environments

• Sharp problem-solving and debugging skills, with the independence to drive end-to-end solutions

Preferred Skills:

• 7-12 years of professional software engineering experience with SaaS platforms, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure (AWS)

• Prior involvement in platform-scale initiatives, like framework migrations or multi-tenant redesigns

• DevOps fluency, including containerization and CI/CD pipelines

• Experience supporting compliance programs such as SOC2 or HIPAA

• Polyglot backend skills — Python and/or Node.js/JavaScript — NoSQL (MongoDB, CosmosDB) databases

• Familiarity with embedded analytics or BI tooling such as Sisense

• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or other ANSI SQL-compliant databases.

Key Skills & Behaviors:

• A natural technical leader and mentor who thrives on guiding direction and coordinating work across teams — not just executing to spec

• A clear communicator who can translate complex, systems-level thinking for technical and non-technical audiences alike

• Collaborative, adaptable, and results-driven, with genuine pride in the foundational platform work that powers everything else

• Curious about AI tools and concepts, and eager to put them to work
