Logan, UT
Monday – Friday 8: 00 am – 5:00 pm
Onsite
We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to design and build the platforms behind our real estate eRecording business — the systems that submit, track, and return recorded land documents (deeds, mortgages, liens, releases, and assignments) electronically to county recorders nationwide. You'll own meaningful slices of a mission-critical platform end to end, from SQL Server data design through .NET Core services to the Angular interfaces our clients and operations teams use every day — and you'll help us responsibly fold AI and machine learning into how documents are classified, validated, and processed. This is a hands-on senior role with real architectural influence and a direct line to the business impact of your work.
Some of the things you will be doing:
- Design, build, and maintain scalable services and APIs using C#, .NET / .NET Core (ASP.NET Core Web API) that power document submission, status tracking, and county integrations.
- Model, query, and optimize data in Microsoft SQL Server — complex schemas, stored procedures, indexing, and performance tuning against high-volume transactional workloads.
- Develop responsive, maintainable front-end applications in Angular (TypeScript, RxJS, HTML/SCSS) for client portals and internal operations tooling.
- Build and integrate AI/ML-powered capabilities — document classification, intelligent data extraction (OCR/IDP), validation, and anomaly detection — to automate and accelerate the eRecording workflow.
- Integrate AI services and APIs (e.g., Azure AI / Cognitive Services, OpenAI, or comparable LLM and ML platforms) into production .NET applications, including prompt design, retrieval, and evaluation of model output for accuracy and reliability.
- Integrate with external county recording jurisdictions and partners through varied formats and protocols (REST/SOAP web services, XML, secure file transfer), accounting for the fact that every jurisdiction does things a little differently.
- Translate eRecording domain requirements — document types, fee calculations, submission packages, rejections and resubmissions — into reliable, auditable software.
- Write clean, testable code with unit and integration tests; participate in code reviews and uphold engineering standards.
- Partner with product, operations, and QA in an Agile/Scrum environment to deliver iteratively.
- Mentor mid-level and junior engineers and contribute to technical design discussions and decisions.
What technical skills, experience, and qualifications do you need?
- 5+ years of professional software development experience building production web applications.
- Strong, demonstrable expertise in C# and .NET / .NET Core, including building and consuming RESTful Web APIs.
- Deep Microsoft SQL Server skills: schema design, T-SQL, stored procedures, and query/performance optimization.
- Solid Angular experience (Angular 2+; TypeScript, component architecture, RxJS) and comfort across the full front-end stack (HTML5, CSS/SCSS, JavaScript).
- Hands-on experience applying AI/ML in production software — integrating ML models, LLMs, or AI APIs into real applications, and a working understanding of where these tools add value (and where they don't).
- Experience designing and consuming web services and integrating with third-party or external systems.
- Familiarity with version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and modern SDLC practices.
- A pragmatic, ownership-minded approach: you can take a problem from ambiguous requirement to shipped, supported feature.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across technical and business teams.
Nice to Have
- Experience in real estate, title, mortgage, legal-tech, fintech, or document/records management domains — especially eRecording or e-filing.
- Deeper AI/ML background: intelligent document processing (IDP), OCR, NLP, RAG (retrieval-augmented generation), vector databases, or ML model training and deployment (MLOps).
- Cloud experience (Azure preferred — App Services, Azure SQL, Azure AI/OpenAI Service, Service Bus, Functions).
- Microservices, message queues, and event-driven architecture.
- Entity Framework / EF Core, Dapper, or other ORMs.
- eRecording standards / PRIA (Property Records Industry Association) familiarity.
- Containerization (Docker) and orchestration.
- Automated testing frameworks and a test-driven mindset.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Software Development Engineer
Verify your degree field matches the role
H-1B specialty occupation requires a directly related degree, not just any bachelor's. A computer science, software engineering, or closely related field degree maps cleanly to this title. A business or unrelated STEM degree will likely trigger an RFE.
Look up LCA filings before applying
Use Migrate Mate to filter Senior Software Development Engineer roles by employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history. This targets companies that have already navigated the DOL certification process for this specific title.
Check prevailing wages by location before negotiating
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing wage for your work location and job level. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up Level I through Level IV wages for your target city before your offer conversation.
Clarify whether the role is cap-exempt
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and certain government research organizations are cap-exempt H-1B employers. If you're open to those settings, your employer can file outside the annual lottery window, giving you a year-round path to H-1B status.
Prepare your SOC classification documentation early
USCIS will scrutinize the SOC code on your I-129 petition. The O*NET profile for software developer and engineer titles describes the theoretical and applied knowledge requirements that support specialty occupation. Having that documentation ready speeds up petition prep.
Time your job search around the H-1B filing calendar
Cap-subject H-1B registrations open in March for an October 1 start date. Targeting your offer and onboarding timeline for Q1 of each year gives your employer the earliest possible filing window and avoids a full-year gap between selection and start.
H-1B Visa Senior Software Development Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Software Development Engineer role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes. USCIS consistently recognizes senior software development and engineering roles as specialty occupations because the position normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a directly related field. The O*NET profile and industry hiring norms both support this classification, which lowers the risk of an RFE on specialty occupation grounds compared to more ambiguous titles.
How do I find employers who actively sponsor H-1B visas for this role?
Search Migrate Mate to browse Senior Software Development Engineer positions filtered by employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history. DOL LCA disclosure data shows which companies have certified positions under this title and at what wage levels, so you can target employers with a demonstrated sponsorship track record rather than applying blind and asking HR about their visa policy.
What happens to my H-1B if I get laid off as a Senior Software Development Engineer?
You have a 60-day grace period from your last day of employment to find a new H-1B sponsor, change to another nonimmigrant status, or depart the U.S. Your new employer can file an H-1B transfer petition during that window, and you can begin work once the transfer receipt is issued if you're in a valid period of authorized stay. Acting quickly matters because the 60-day clock starts on your final day.
Can my employer file H-1B premium processing for a Senior Software Development Engineer petition?
Yes. Employers can file Form I-907 alongside the I-129 petition to request premium processing, which requires USCIS to take action within 15 business days. For senior engineering roles, this is common when a start date is time-sensitive or when the employer wants faster certainty on approval before the candidate resigns from a current position.
Does the H-1B prevailing wage requirement affect job titles or levels differently for software engineering roles?
Yes. DOL assigns four wage levels to each SOC code based on experience, supervision, and complexity. A Senior Software Development Engineer typically maps to Level III or Level IV under the software developer SOC codes, which carry higher prevailing wages than entry-level positions. Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above that level for your specific work location, so role level directly affects the minimum wage commitment your sponsor makes.
