- Design and evolve foundational components and services that support accounting, reporting, compliance, and financial workflows.
- Provide technical leadership across teams, guiding design decisions and promoting consistent, high-quality engineering practices.
- Partner with Product Management to translate complex financial requirements into robust, maintainable technical solutions.
- Lead modernization efforts, including legacy system refactoring, cloud-native architecture adoption, and technical debt reduction.
AI-assisted Engineering Leadership

- Establish expectations for using AI in code reviews, including:
- Identifying defects, edge cases, and performance issues
- Improving readability, consistency, and adherence to architectural standards
- Assisting with risk identification in financial and compliance-sensitive code paths
- Promote the use of AI to accelerate and strengthen testing, including:
- Generating and refining unit, integration, and regression tests
- Identifying gaps in test coverage, especially in legacy or high-risk areas
- Supporting test modernization as systems are refactored or decomposed
- Leverage AI tools during legacy modernization efforts to:
- Analyze and understand complex or poorly documented legacy code
- Assist with refactoring, decomposition, and translation to modern patterns
- Reduce risk while improving speed and confidence in large-scale changes
- Guide teams on safe, compliant, and maintainable use of AI tools within enterprise, security, and regulatory constraints
- Establish and uphold engineering standards for reliability, observability, testing, and operational excellence
- Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders (Product, Security, Compliance, Support) to ensure solutions meet business and regulatory needs
- Mentor Principal and Senior Engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and continuous improvement
- Stay current on trends in financial systems, SaaS architecture, and developer productivity tooling, and apply them pragmatically within Blackbaud.
What We’ll Want You To Have
- 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, including leadership roles on complex, enterprise-scale systems
- Deep experience designing and delivering financial, accounting, or other highly regulated domain software
- Proven ability to lead architectural discussions and influence technical direction across multiple teams.
- Strong expertise in .NET Core, C#, and modern backend architecture patterns.
- Experience with relational and NoSQL data stores (e.g., SQL Server, Cosmos DB) and RESTful API design.
- Proficiency with modern web technologies, including Angular, JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, and CSS.
- Able to work flexible hours as required by business priorities.
