THE POSITION The Sr. Software Engineer on our C# and .NET services is the engine room of our engineering org. You will lead projects from planning through execution, write the code on the hardest pieces, and raise the bar for the engineers around you. You'll also be a force multiplier for AI-assisted development on your team, modeling how to use Claude, Copilot, and agentic workflows to ship faster without compromising quality. RESPONSIBILITIES Lead delivery of more in-depth initiatives from planning through launch in partnership with product and technical leadership, where you own the technical executionTake on the hard parts. When a .NET service needs a rewrite or a hard data migration, you're the one writing itShape architecture. Participate actively in design discussions on our C# services, write design docs, and weigh tradeoffs out loud so the team can learn from your reasoningMentor mid-level and junior engineers. Pair, code-review thoughtfully, and help teammates level up their skills, including their AI tooling fluencyDrive process improvements. Spot recurring pain in the team's workflow and propose changes, not just complaintsPush the AI-native bar. Build internal tooling, prompt patterns, and agentic workflows that make the whole team faster, not just yourselfBe a reliable code reviewer on PRs across the team, including outside your immediate project areaOperate cleanly on-call. Know your services in production; lead incident response when needed and write the postmortem REQUIREMENTS 5+ years building production software, with strong depth in C# and .NETDemonstrated ability to make sound architectural decisions in a .NET service and explain tradeoffs clearly in writingStrong technical depth in backend systems, API design, or distributed services built on .NETMentorship experience and a track record of helping teammates growFluent, deliberate use of AI tooling across the full engineering lifecycle (design, code, test, debug, review, docs) PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS Experience with RabbitMQ or Kafka, Entity Framework Core at scale, and Azure or AWS cloud servicesExperience leading projects in marketplace, ticketing, e-commerce, or two-sided platform environmentsComfort with Datadog, Grafana, Kibana, Airbrake, Sentry, OpsGenie, or comparable production tooling WHY VICTORY LIVE You'll build the infrastructure live events run on; millions of tickets, hundreds of venues, many of the largest teams and events in the worldA lean team where decisions move fast and your code reaches real fans, often the same weekEvery release has stakes. Every improvement is feltHigh expectations, low tolerance for politics, and a culture built on writing well and shipping with care OUR VALUES We build the systems that power live event ticketing, and we hold a high bar for how we do it. Four principles run through everything: Quality of life. Sustainable processes over heroics. Nobody should be a single point of failure, and nobody should be afraid to take a vacationQuality of code. Clarity over cleverness. If a teammate needs a long explanation to follow your code, it needs simplifying. Tests prove your work; they aren't optionalProtection of production. Every change is reviewed, tested, and observable. We build with monitoring in mind from day one so we find problems before our users doShared knowledge. We work across time zones, so we communicate in the open. Questions go in channels, not DMs, and one answer becomes shared knowledge ENGINEERING PRINCIPLES We are an AI-native engineering team. Here is what that looks like in practice: AI-assisted engineering. Every engineer uses Claude, Claude Code, Copilot, and agentic tooling as a routine part of their workflowAsync-first. Most decisions happen in writing through Jira, Confluence, PR descriptions, design docs. We over-communicate on changes and under-communicate on noiseOwnership mindset. Engineers are responsible for what they write and no code reaches production without review. Reviewers are co-ownersObservability is part of "done." If the on-call engineer can't understand a system without reading source, more logging, metrics, and dashboards are neededPreservation of quality of code and life. We write code that is clean, tested, and maintainable so it serves us well over time, and we build sustainable processes so no one burns out or becomes a single point of failureShared knowledge and continued education. We grow as a team by learning from each other through reviews, documentation, and collaboration OUR STACK & WAYS OF WORKING C# and .NET power our B2B marketplace, distribution integrations, and partner-facing APIsWeb & mobile clients, REST APIs, microservicesFrameworks and tools: .NET, ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core, xUnitData: MSSQL Server, Postgres, RedisCloud & infra: Azure, AWS, RabbitMQ, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, TerraformAI tooling: Anthropic / Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, in-house agentic workflowsObservability: Datadog, Grafana, Elastic/Kibana, OpsGenieCollaboration: Jira, Confluence, GitHub, Slack, MiroAsync-first, agile cadences, distributed onshore + offshore teams BENEFITS & PERKS Comprehensive medical coverage100% employer-paid dental, vision, life, and disability insurance401(k) with company matchPaid parental leavePaid time off and company holidaysEmployee wellness and professional development opportunities Victory Live is an equal opportunity employer.
