[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @nextSource

Role Description

This is a senior, hands-on role for a software engineer who is strong on the front end, understands UI/UX design, and has practical experience building accessible web applications. You'll work on complex enterprise applications built on ASP.NET MVC 5. You'll turn business and user needs into interfaces that are clean, easy to use, and fully accessible.

Most of the work is on the front end, but this is a full-stack .NET role that also involves C# and SQL Server. You'll be working in an established enterprise codebase, so you should be comfortable getting up to speed quickly and working independently.

• .NET Framework
• C#
• Microsoft SQL Server
• T-SQL
• HTML5
• CSS3
• JavaScript
• jQuery

• Experience applying UI/UX design principles to real product interfaces, including information architecture, interaction design, visual hierarchy, and usability best practices.
• Hands-on experience building and testing for WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA and Section 508 compliance.
• Practical experience with ARIA roles and attributes, semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, focus management, and testing with screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver.
• Strong proficiency in C# and ASP.NET MVC 5, plus experience developing and supporting full-stack .NET applications in a Windows environment.
• Solid experience with Microsoft SQL Server, including database design, data modeling, and writing T-SQL queries, stored procedures, and views.
• A firm grasp of object-oriented programming, design patterns, and core computer science principles.
• Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs and integrating front-end interfaces with internal and external systems.
• Experience with unit testing and supporting QA, usability testing, and releases, along with a strong understanding of the SDLC and engineering best practices.
• The ability to analyze requirements, debug complex UI and cross-browser issues, and deliver reliable, polished work.

Requirements

• Experience with DevExpress UI components and reporting tools.
• Formal training or certification in UX design, accessibility (such as IAAP CPACC or WAS), or human-centered design.
• Experience conducting or supporting usability testing, accessibility audits, or design reviews.
• Familiarity with Figma, Adobe XD, or similar tools, and experience turning designs into accessible front-end code.
• Experience with financial aid, student systems, or higher education data.
