Software Engineer

Trilogy NextGen is hiring a Mid-Level Software Engineer to join our growing engineering team. In this direct-hire role, you will design, develop, and maintain scalable web applications and backend services that power both our internal platforms and the products we deliver for customers. You’ll work alongside product managers, designers, and fellow engineers to ship software that drives real business outcomes — sometimes for our own teams, sometimes for the clients who count on us.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who has hands-on experience building full-stack or backend applications and is eager to take on greater ownership across a portfolio of internal tools and customer engagements. You’ll grow your technical skills, contribute to a collaborative team culture, and see your work used in production from week one.

•     Internal projects: Building and improving the platforms, automation, and developer tooling that Trilogy NextGen runs on day to day.

•     Customer-facing projects: Delivering features and integrations for client engagements — from new product builds to modernization work — with direct exposure to client stakeholders.

•     Design, develop, and maintain web applications and RESTful APIs using modern JavaScript frameworks, including Node.js and Bootstrap-based UIs.

•     Build, query, and optimize relational databases using SQL (MySQL or PostgreSQL) and NoSQL stores including MongoDB.

•     Collaborate with cross-functional teams — and, on customer engagements, with client stakeholders — to translate requirements into clean, maintainable code.

•     Write unit and integration tests; participate in code reviews to uphold Trilogy NextGen’s engineering quality standards.

•     Debug and troubleshoot production issues across internal and customer environments, identifying root causes and shipping fixes in a timely manner.

•     Contribute to CI/CD pipeline improvements and participate in deployment processes.

•     Maintain technical documentation for systems, APIs, and workflows so that internal teammates and customer partners can ramp quickly.

•     Stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies, proactively applying new learnings to projects.

•     Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future (this is a direct-hire role).

•     Variety of work — split your time between internal platform projects and customer engagements, so no two quarters look the same.

•     Direct-hire role with full benefits, growth pathways, and clear technical advancement.

•     Collaborative, low-ego engineering culture focused on shipping quality software.

•     Mentorship from senior engineers and exposure to a broad technology stack.
