About the CMS Registry Solution
The CMS Registry Solution powers end-to-end collateral and lien management for banks, automotive finance companies, credit unions and other lenders. The platform automates the full lien lifecycle—registration, amendment, search, monitoring and discharge—to protecting lenders, reduce risk and ensure compliance, and provides value-added features such as lien validation, asset monitoring and fraud detection.
We’re actively modernizing the platform that is mission-critical used by major financial institutions with a focus on scalability, automation, and developer experience. Current work includes containerizing services, upgrading .NET runtimes, strengthening CI/CD and observability, and adopting Infrastructure as Code—alongside pragmatic AI-assisted development and intelligent QA.
You’ll join a small, critical and high-impact team (engineers, product owner, engineering manager) focused on solving real customer problems with durable systems. You’ll be expected to own a major slice of the platform, lead technical execution for key initiatives, and raise the quality bar through strong engineering judgment.
What You’ll Do:
Build & Evolve Critical Systems
- Design and implement scalable, resilient backend and frontend services using .NET (Core / 6+ / 8), Angular, and RESTful APIs
- Lead registry modernization initiatives, including containerization of legacy .NET workloads, runtime upgrades, and improvements to deployment and operational reliability
- Contribute to data-layer improvements, focusing on performance, scalability, and operational reliability
Own Architecture & Technical Decisions
- Drive technical design discussions and make pragmatic architectural decisions within the team
- Integrate observability, security, and performance best practices into system design
- Balance technical excellence with delivery needs when evolving existing systems
Build With an Ownership Mindset
- Own solutions end-to-end, from design through deployment and production operation
- Establish and improve CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and contribute to standardized engineering practices
- Take accountability for reliability, operational outcomes, and continuous improvement of owned systems
Collaborate & Lead
- Collaborate closely with Product, Platform, and other engineering teams to deliver production-ready capabilities
- Mentor and support other engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and day-to-day technical leadership
- Act as a role model for strong ownership, technical quality, and constructive collaboration
What We’re Looking For:
Must Have
- Strong hands-on experience building production systems with .NET and C# (modern .NET preferred)
- Experience working with AWS services such as EC2, S3, CloudWatch, and IAM
- Proficiency in Angular, TypeScript, and RESTful API design
- Solid understanding of SQL Server and relational data modeling (managed database experience a plus)
- Comfort operating in production environments and learning from real-world feedback
- Demonstrated experience leveraging AI-assisted development and testing tools to improve productivity, code quality, and operational efficiency
- Clear communication skills and a collaborative, ownership-driven approach
- A builder’s mindset: If you can think it, you can build it. If you build it, you own it.
Nice-To-Have
- Experience with Docker, Terraform / CloudFormation, or Kubernetes-based platforms
- Background in system modernization, refactoring, or legacy platform evolution
- Experience with database performance optimization
- Exposure to AI-driven QA (e.g., Playwright, Cypress with AI integrations)
