About this Opportunity:

As a Senior Staff Software Engineer, you will utilize your advanced professional expertise and experience to enhance and maintain the software products developed by Summit Wealth Systems. You will operate as an AI-native engineer, having fully integrated AI tools and workflows into how you think, build, and ship — treating AI as a core force multiplier rather than an optional add-on. As we continue to evolve and live our Orion values, we are looking for someone to grow with us.  

In this role, you’ll get to:

• Champion a culture of continuous learning and growth within the team, modeling curiosity and adaptability in the face of new challenges and technologies

• Guide fellow team members in the code review process

• Ensure application quality by testing integrated features as well as writing test automation where appropriate

• Ensure application safety by following secure coding best practices

• Troubleshoot, diagnose, and fix product defects

• Maintains a deep and intrinsic understanding of business use cases and objectives

• Actively maintain a self-paced learning regimen to feed professional curiosity, with particular attention to the rapidly evolving AI tooling and capabilities landscape

• Leverage AI tools and workflows throughout the development process — from ideation and architecture exploration to coding, debugging, testing, and code review — to accelerate delivery and improve quality

• Evaluate and introduce emerging AI-powered tools and practices to the team, helping establish shared standards for effective AI-assisted development

• Utilize source control to effectively manage delivery of work

• Understand and operate the full lifecycle of the software platform, from coding to delivery and observation in production

• Learn and adhere to team and company processes, standards, and procedures

• Actively develop and maintain working relationships with team and department members

• Participate in the full Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)

• Maintain and nurture an opportunistic mindset — proactively identifying ways to improve processes, tools, and outcomes rather than waiting for direction

• Move fast while maintaining the company's integrity and position in the marketplace

• Leads from the front lines in helping team to keep consistently delivering

We're looking for talent who:

• Has mastery of C#/.NET ecosystem

• Has strong understanding of browser capabilities, web performance, and front-end architecture

• Has exceptional debugging and problem-solving skills across the full stack

• Tackles high-impact, highly ambiguous problems with no blueprint

• Defines technical frameworks, patterns, and decision structures for other engineers to follow

• Solutions directly influence Orion’s long-term scalability, reliability, and competitive advantage
