Job description

Role

AtStarCompliance, we build software that helps our clients navigate complex regulatory requirements. We do this by combining strong engineering with thoughtful collaboration and a shared sense of ownership.

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join one of our Product Engineering teams. This role is suited to engineers who are confident delivering high-quality software independently and who enjoy working collaboratively to solve problems and improve how the team delivers value.

You’ll be part of a cross-functional delivery team where work is typically managed using a Kanban-style approach, with flexibility to adapt as needed. You’ll take ownership of more complex work, apply judgement in how solutions are designed and implemented, and contribute to improving code quality and team practices through your day-to-day actions.

How you work is important. We value engineers who communicate clearly, challenge ideas respectfully, support others, and take responsibility for the outcomes they deliver.

Responsibilities

• Deliver complex features, enhancements, and defect fixes with a high degree of autonomy.
• Break down work into appropriate technical tasks and manage your own flow of work effectively.
• Apply judgement when designing and implementing solutions within established architectural patterns.
• Write high-quality, maintainable code and ensure appropriate testing is in place.
• Contribute to a shared codebase, following established development standards and ways of working.
• Actively participate in code reviews, raising quality concerns and providing constructive feedback.
• Communicate progress, risks, and blockers clearly and proactively.
• Identify technical issues or improvement opportunities and raise them constructively with the team.
• Contribute to technical documentation and shared team knowledge.

Skill & Experience

• Strong experience working in a collaborative software development environment.
• Proven experience delivering production software in a shared codebase.
• Strong hands‑on experience with Microsoft .NET and C#.
• Solid understanding of object-oriented design principles and common patterns.
• Experience working with relational databases and writing efficient SQL.
• Experience with web technologies such as JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
• Exposure to TypeScript and React is beneficial.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern software delivery practices.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with others.
• Comfortable providing guidance and feedback to peers.

Additional Experience

• Typically 2–4 years of commercial software development experience.
• Strong experience with C# and .NET (ASP.NET Framework and/or Core).
• Experience using Git and pull-request-based workflows.
• Experience working with Microsoft SQL Server or another enterprise relational database.
• Experience developing and supporting production web applications.
• Right to work in the country of employment.

Integrity and Ethics

• All StarCompliance employees are expected to commit to a high standard of personal integrity and carry out their responsibilities in an ethical manner.
