• Integrate Encompass with internal services and third-party systems using RESTful APIs and web services
• Create tools and automation to validate migrated functionality and accelerate rollout
• Troubleshoot and support Encompass-related automation and integrations in production
• Drive best practices in code reviews, automated testing, monitoring, logging, and documentation
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, compliance, and operations teams throughout the migration lifecycle

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of professional software development experience with C#/.NET
• 3+ years of experience building or integrating with Encompass (plugins, customizations, or APIs)
• Hands-on experience with RPA platforms and live automation deployments
• Strong knowledge of REST APIs, JSON/XML, and system integration patterns
• Proven ability to deliver stable, maintainable automation and integration solutions
• Excellent troubleshooting skills in complex, multi-system environments
• Strong communicator who can partner with technical and non-technical stakeholders

Nice to Have

• Experience leading SDK deprecation or platform modernization projects
• Familiarity with Web Plugins 2.0 and Developer Connect API migrations
• Experience with Azure or other cloud platforms
• Background in CI/CD, automated testing, and observability
• Experience in mortgage operations or fintech

Why Lower

• Work on high-impact modernization projects that shape how we scale and operate
• Collaborative culture that values craftsmanship, clarity, and ownership
• Competitive compensation, flexible work options, and comprehensive benefits
• Opportunity to drive a major platform migration and make a lasting impact
