Background
Distro was built to take that work off their plate. Our AI handles the screening, scoring, and logistics so your team can do what only humans can: build relationships, evaluate culture fit, and make decisions that matter.
Role Overview
As a Staff Software Engineer you will own significant functional areas end to end-design, implementation, test coverage, and production accountability. You will diagnose the hard problems, the ones that have defeated other people, across the application and down into the database. You will set engineering standards, lead code reviews, and mentor engineers. And you will have real input into how and in what order this platform evolves, including where modernization makes sense and where stability is worth more.
Qualifications and Requirements
- Substantial hands-on ASP.NET Webforms — page lifecycle, state management, and the failure modes you only learn by living with them
- Strong C# across a mature codebase
- Solid front-end work in JavaScript and jQuery
- Deep SQL and SQL Server: writing, reading, and tuning your own queries and stored procedures
- Staff-level scope: owning functional areas, setting standards, leading reviews, mentoring engineers
- Ability to debug across application and database tiers and reason from symptom to root cause under pressure
