Job DescriptionJob DescriptionWho We Are
At Perry Weather, we're at the forefront of providing innovative weather safety solutions. Thousands of users trust our fast-growing weather safety platform across various industries, including school districts, cities, universities, golf courses, professional sports, and more. Our cutting-edge software and connected hardware empower organizations to make rapid decisions when faced with weather disruptions, ensuring the safety of individuals and the smooth operation of activities/events.
The Opportunity
We're seeking a Senior Software Engineer with deep experience in C# .NET to help evolve and scale the backend services that power our platform. Our system connects with thousands of in-house designed weather stations and outdoor warning systems deployed across North America. We own the entire solution—hardware and software—and deliver mission-critical weather alerting that protects lives and simplifies operations. While your primary focus will be backend systems, all of our engineers work full-stack across web, mobile (React ), and infrastructure. This is a highly impactful role on a small, fast-moving team where your work directly affects our customers and the future of our platform and company.
What You'll Do
- Architect, implement, and maintain scalable backend services using C# .NET.
- Design reliable, high-performance systems in a micro-service architecture.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with frontend, mobile, infrastructure, and hardware engineers.
- Contribute to architectural decisions that shape the future of our platform.
- Lead major initiatives, owning key systems end-to-end, and being accountable for their success in production.
- Participate in an on-call rotation (up to 7 weeks/year) to ensure the stability and responsiveness of our systems.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience building backend systems with C# .NET in a production environment.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, asynchronous processing, and cloud infrastructure (preferably Azure).
- Experience independently designing and delivering large-scale platform features or services.
- Exposure to or interest in full-stack development and DevOps practices.
- A mindset of extreme ownership—you take initiative, solve problems proactively, and drive systems forward.
- Bonus: Experience with IoT, telemetry, or hardware-integrated software systems.
Benefits
- Casual work environment. We’re located in the vibrant Dallas Oak Lawn neighborhood. As a note, our team is in office M–F!
- Comprehensive benefits. We offer competitive health insurance plans, 401(k) with employer matching, and a suite of voluntary benefits.
- Engaging culture. Monthly All-Hands, fun events like Office Olympics, lunch-and-learns, happy hours, and more.
- Grow with us. We’re growing rapidly, and yet we have a massive amount of work and opportunity ahead. In this role, you’ll shape how quality and security are built into our engineering process from the ground up.
