Job Description
Senior Software Engineer – Windows Desktop with PowerBASIC
Exp:- 6+ years
REMOTE
We are looking for a seasoned software engineer to join a product team responsible for a large-scale, mission-critical Windows desktop application used in high-volume tax preparation and filing. This application is a core part of a widely used, IRS-certified tax platform and continues to receive active feature development.
This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy working closely with the system, are comfortable navigating legacy codebases, and take pride in delivering reliable software under complex, real-world constraints. While the technology stack is mature, the work directly supports new features, regulatory requirements, and business growth.
What You’ll Do
Build, enhance, and maintain features within a large Windows desktop application written in PowerBASIC
Work inside a long-standing monolithic codebase where stability, correctness, and performance are essential
Debug and resolve complex issues in legacy code with limited modern abstractions
Collaborate with product managers and fellow engineers to deliver features tied to real customer and revenue impact
Safely evolve existing tax logic while ensuring compliance and system integrity
Contribute to code reviews and technical discussions focused on precision and risk management rather than wholesale rewrites
Support ongoing feature delivery in an environment where modernization is intentionally limited
What We’re Looking For
Strong experience developing Windows desktop applications, using PowerBASIC.
Comfort working in large, monolithic codebases
Excellent debugging and analytical skills
Ability to learn and work effectively in older systems that may lack modern tooling or documentation
Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with distributed teams
Nice to Have
Experience with tax software, tax preparation processes, financial systems, or other regulated domains
Familiarity with IRS-certified platforms or compliance-driven applications
Knowledge of older Windows APIs or desktop frameworks
Prior experience maintaining long-lived commercial software products
Why You Might Like This Role
You enjoy solving hard problems in real production systems
You prefer shipping meaningful features over chasing the newest framework
You value stability, craftsmanship, and correctness
You like being one of the few people who can work effectively in a specialized technical environment
You want to make a direct impact on a product used by millions of people
Engagement Details
Embedded role within an established internal engineering team
Long-term engagement focused on feature delivery and system continuity
Not a rewrite or modernization project, this role is about building on what already works
