API Software Engineer (W2 Hybrid)

We own our architecture end-to-end — from design to deployment to production operations. This is a team for engineers who want real technical ownership, real scale, and real-world impact.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the API & Infrastructure team, you will design and build distributed, cloud-native systems that power precision agriculture at global scale.
 

This role is not just limited to implementing tickets. You will:

• Help to architect highly available, resilient APIs serving millions of requests daily
  
• Design scalable data access patterns across relational, NoSQL, and object storage systems
  
• Drive technical direction for cloud-native application development in Azure
  
• Contribute to and help evolve our agile engineering practices
  
• Own services from concept through deployment and production operations
  
• Mentor engineers while raising the technical bar across the team
  
• Provide recommendations and AI-assisted workflows on tooling to increase productivity and delivery speed
  

You will play a key role in shaping the backbone that connects agricultural machines in the field to customer-facing applications and advanced analytics platforms in the cloud.

Architecture & System Design

• Design and implement scalable, highly available RESTful APIs using C# and modern .NET
  
• Define and evolve service architectures supporting high throughput and low latency
  
• Make informed decisions around distributed systems tradeoffs (consistency, availability, scalability)
  
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to define reliable data contracts and service boundaries
  

Cloud & Infrastructure Ownership

• Build and maintain cloud-native services in Microsoft Azure
  
• Containerize applications using Docker
  
• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines in GitLab
  
• Implement infrastructure patterns that support resiliency, fault tolerance, horizontal scalability, and cost efficiency
  

Performance, Reliability & Observability

• Optimize APIs for performance under heavy load— including the seasonal spikes that come when millions of acres of equipment hit the field simultaneously during planting and harvest
  
• Implement structured logging, tracing, and monitoring using tools such as Datadog
  
• Participate in production support and incident response
  
• Continuously improve system reliability and operational maturity
  

Engineering Excellence

• Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code
  
• Conduct thoughtful code reviews and mentor junior engineers
  
• Lead or influence technical initiatives across teams
  
• Contribute to architectural standards and long-term technical strategy
  
• Champion automation, AI-assisted development practices, and continuous improvement
  

Experience Required

• Experienced engineer with 5+ years of career experience, with Bachelor’s degree.  3+ years experience with Master’s degree.  
  
• Or equivalent combination of education and experience.  
  
• Demonstrated leadership abilities.

• Furthers knowledge of profession through continued education and/or seeking or providing mentorship.   
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong experience with C#, ASP.NET Core, and modern .NET
  
• Experience building cloud-native applications (preferably in Microsoft Azure or AWS)
  
• Experience with Git-based version control systems (GitLab, Azure DevOps, or similar)
  
• Experience with relational databases (preferably SQL Server) and data modeling
  
• Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs
  
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
  
• Experience with unit testing frameworks (NUnit, xUnit, MSTest, or similar)
  
• Experience working in an Agile team environment
  
• Familiarity with agricultural technology, telemetry systems, or data-intensive platforms is a plus
