About the role

The Software Engineer IV / Tech Lead is a hands-on technical leader who owns the core infrastructure that powers AbsenceSoft's enterprise leave management platform. This is a formal tech lead role, not a senior IC position with a title attached — you'll be expected to mentor engineers, drive architecture, and shape technical planning, in addition to writing production-quality code yourself.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent experience — plus a track record leading complex technical initiatives
  • Advanced proficiency in .NET/C#, building enterprise-grade software on a modern stack
  • Hands-on experience implementing identity and authentication protocols (OAuth2, SAML 2.0, OIDC) in enterprise SaaS environments
  • Proven ability designing multi-tenant SaaS architectures, including tenant isolation, data access patterns, and provisioning workflows
  • Strong grasp of system architecture, scalability principles, and authorization frameworks (RBAC, data governance) in regulated environments
  • Sharp problem-solving and debugging skills, with the independence to drive end-to-end solutions
