[Hiring] Software Engineer @MeridianLink

Role Description

This position is responsible for developing and maintaining integration features across both modern and legacy environments. You will design and deliver new APIs and event-driven services while also working directly within our established .NET codebases, including monolithic applications, to deliver integrations efficiently and with high quality. The ideal candidate is a skilled engineer capable of executing integration tasks independently, adept at navigating between newer and legacy codebases, and eager to grow into a long-term steward of MeridianLink’s integration strategy. You’ll collaborate with experienced engineers and architects committed to supporting your technical growth as the platform evolves.

Key Responsibilities

• Build & Deliver Integrations
  • Build integration features, RESTful APIs, and shared libraries in line with established contracts and architectural patterns, including event-driven and asynchronous processes developed by the team.
  • Enhance and maintain integration logic within existing product applications, including monolithic systems, to accelerate the delivery of customer integrations.
  • Contribute to the evolution and adherence of the team’s API standards covering versioning, contracts, and deprecation.
  • Deliver scoped designs into deployed, functional solutions.
• Own Your Work End to End
  • Thoroughly test work before progressing, write unit and integration tests, and help ensure adequate acceptance and end-to-end coverage.
  • Maintain ownership of your work through all stages of the SDLC to production, addressing any production issues as they arise.
  • Meet the team’s standards for code quality and test coverage before code review.
  • Take part in the team’s support and on-call rotation for the integrations managed by the group.
• Contribute to the Platform Direction
  • Collaborate on the architecture and development of MeridianLink’s enterprise integration platform as it advances towards production.
  • Identify recurring integration patterns in existing products for adoption as shared platform services.
  • Proactively highlight integration risks, blockers, and design gaps early in the process to facilitate resolution during design.
• Collaboration & Growing Others
  • Actively participate in design discussions and code reviews, both giving and receiving feedback in a constructive manner.
  • Support the onboarding of Engineer I teammates; provide context and help them overcome obstacles.
  • Contribute to documentation that helps the team share knowledge and reduce reliance on unwritten expertise.

Qualifications

• Independently completes assigned features and bug fixes, needing only minimal day-to-day oversight.
• Designs components within a clearly defined scope, escalating more complex system design questions as needed.
• Engages in code reviews and offers constructive feedback.
• Proactively communicates blockers rather than waiting for scheduled check-ins.
• Writes tests that thoroughly cover the delivered functionality.
• Monitors and quickly responds to issues related to their work.
• Documents technical decisions and implementation details for future reference by others.
• Understands how APIs, contracts, and versioning maintain stable integrations as connected systems evolve.
• Builds both synchronous and asynchronous integration flows and recognizes which approach best suits specific scenarios.
• Troubleshoots issues across service boundaries, efficiently tracing integration failures to their root cause.
• Navigates smoothly between modern .NET services and established .NET Framework codebases.
• Delivers safe, thoroughly tested updates within large monolithic applications.
• Translates current integration patterns to align with strategic platform directions, building solutions that ease future transitions.
• Utilizes modern AI coding harnesses daily (such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Pi) with an understanding of agents: models paired with harnesses.
• Applies AI tools throughout the software development lifecycle—from coding and reviews to test and documentation generation.
• Actively shares effective AI-driven development practices with teammates.

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, independently delivering features in production environments.
• Strong grasp of algorithms, data structures, and core software design principles.
• Proficiency with standard development tools including Git, Docker, automated testing, and modern scripting languages.
• Consistent daily use of AI-assisted development tools.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Expertise in C# and the .NET ecosystem, including significant experience with .NET Framework codebases.
• Experience developing or supporting production APIs and integration features.
• Experience working within large, established codebases.
• Daily hands-on use of modern AI coding harnesses (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi, or similar), with practical understanding of agents (model plus harness).
• Experience creating unit and integration tests, including leveraging AI tools during test development.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience deploying and operating applications on Azure.
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures or enterprise messaging patterns.
• Understanding of event streaming platforms and asynchronous processing models.
• Knowledge of distributed systems fundamentals such as scaling, data storage, and fault tolerance.
• Experience with API gateway solutions and managing API lifecycles, including versioning and contracts.
• Background in writing acceptance and end-to-end tests, with Playwright experience a plus.
• In-depth understanding of harness mechanics, including memory, tool calls, and hooks, and their influence on agent behavior.
• Familiarity with VB.NET.
• Experience integrating with third-party or external partner systems.
• Prior work in fintech or financial services environments.
