Position Reports To: Software Development Manager

**Department:** Information Technology

Management Position: No

Location

This job is a hybrid role, which means you will need to live in proximity to our headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan such that you can commute to the office one or more days per week as needed.

Who we are

Genisys Credit Union is Michigan’s fourth largest credit union in asset size. Genisys serves the people and communities of the entire state of Michigan, as well as the greater Minneapolis area. The credit union provides a variety of deposit and loan products focusing on making people’s financial lives better. We are trying to create a world where everyone wants to be a member of Genisys!

What the job is all about

The Software Development team at Genisys is responsible for understanding the business processes of the larger credit union and seeking opportunities to introduce efficiencies to make folks’ lives a little easier. Then it is the team’s job to design and develop the solutions to support those business processes. These frequently come in the form of vendor integrations, customizations to the core processing system, or report development. We are a small and very focused group of technologists who work closely with the system operations team to implement our solutions. We value technical solutions that are collaborative, concise, and creative but not unnecessarily clever.

The role of Senior Software Engineer encompasses a variety of general software development tasks to support IT and the Credit Union at large. The Senior Software Engineer will be involved in architectural decisions related to integration points; both human and system. This means being involved in early conversations and decisions about how a software solution will fulfill a business requirement. A Senior Software Engineer is also an active contributor to software development projects, taking on software development tasks from the team’s backlog. Finally, a Senior Software Engineer will be engaged in mentoring junior developers and will exhibit qualities of an active team contributor.

About you

You are a software engineer with 3-5 years of experience being part of a robust software development team.
