Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, agile environment and enjoys solving complex technical challenges
- If you’re passionate about building innovative software and contributing to a collaborative engineering culture, we’d love to connect
- You have 3–5+ years of hands-on engineering experience, ideally with .NET or Python—but strong experience in another backend language paired with a willingness to learn is equally valuable
- You’re comfortable working across the stack and understand the fundamentals of building and scaling web applications (C#, ASP.NET MVC, Python frameworks, SQL Server, or equivalent tech)
- You know modern front-end tools (HTML, CSS, JavaScript/Typescript, React/Angular, etc.) and enjoy building clean, usable interfaces
- You have solid grounding in software design principles—OOP, SOLID, testing practices, and how to structure code for long-term health
- You take ownership of your work, manage your time well, and can drive a project from concept to deployment without needing constant direction
- You thrive in environments where you collaborate with other engineers, ask good questions, share context openly, and help create clarity for the team
- You’re curious, practical, and quick to learn new technologies, frameworks, or approaches when they make engineering better
What the job involves
- We are seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our Chicago team
- In this role, you will work across the full application stack to design, develop, and test features in our cloud-based platform
- You will collaborate closely with cross-functional partners to deliver high-quality, scalable solutions
- As a Senior Developer, you’ll take ownership of designing and building systems that power real, high-impact workflows for our customers
- You’ll work on problems that go beyond basic CRUD — things like orchestrating complex data flows, integrating with external platforms, and creating automation that removes friction from everyday work
- You’ll help shape the architecture of our platform, make decisions about how things scale and operate in production, and build software that’s reliable and easy to evolve
- This role gives you room to dive deep: one day you might be sketching out a new service boundary or designing an API contract, and the next you’re rolling up your sleeves to debug a tricky edge case in the stack
- You won’t be doing this in a vacuum
- You’ll work with a strong engineering team that values clear thinking, pragmatic technical choices, and building things the right way
- Your contributions will directly influence the direction of the product and how thousands of users experience it
- Design, build, and evolve core application features using React and either C#/.NET, Python
- Own and improve critical system integrations (Salesforce, QuickBooks Online, Jira, Sage Intacct, HubSpot), focusing on reliability, observability, and long-term maintainability
- Lead code reviews, influence coding standards, and help raise the quality bar across services and shared components
- Work closely with product, support, and engineering teams to break down complex problems and turn them into scalable, thoughtful solutions
- Shape technical direction by evaluating new tools, patterns, and practices—and introducing them when they create real value for performance, productivity, or maintainability
Our take
Time is a valuable asset for any business, but recording and invoicing it manually can prove cumbersome, especially at scale. This is the reason why many companies turn to professional service automation (PSA) tools, such as that offered by BigTime Software.
The company offers a cloud-based suite of practice management tools that allows professional services – from accountants to architects – to track, manage and invoice their time. The platform also provides services in other areas, such as allowing companies to schedule employees and manage their projects.
In 2022, BigTime Software acquired Projector, a leader in the PSA space, combining Projector's functionality with BigTime's scale of operation. It has also now acquired WorkRails, which stenghtens its CPQ and workflow automation capabilities. Both these moves showcase the company's determination to expand its value to remain a strong force in the market.
