Summary

Lasernet is more than just a document management solution—it’s the engine behind smarter, faster, and more compliant business communication. With over 35 years of experience, we help organisations turn raw data into polished, business-ready documents—without a single line of custom code. Whether it’s print or digital, Lasernet delivers.

Now, we’re on a bold mission: transforming Lasernet into a modern SaaS platform. We’ve got the vision, the roadmap, and the momentum. What we need now is the right people to help us shape the how.

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who’s not just technically sharp, but also culturally aligned. You’ll help us evolve a large, monolithic codebase into a modular, scalable architecture. You’ll join a 25-person platform team that owns everything from development and infrastructure to testing and documentation.

We care deeply about how you think, not just what you know. If you’re curious, collaborative, humble, and not afraid to fail forward—we want to hear from you.

Duties and Responsibilities.

This isn’t just another engineering role. You’ll be a key player in reimagining the Lasernet platform—balancing the demands of legacy systems with the excitement of greenfield development.

What you’ll do:

• Lead the charge in refactoring and modernising our core codebase.
• Dive deep into problems before jumping to solutions—context is everything.
• Work in agile sprints, contributing to planning, estimation, and delivery.
• Own your work end-to-end, balancing pragmatism with craftsmanship.
• Be a steward of the codebase—leave it better than you found it.
• Navigate the old and the new—legacy systems and cutting-edge tech.
• Share knowledge, review code, and help your teammates level up.

Knowledge and Experience.

Must-haves:

• 5–10 years of hands-on software development across varied domains.
• Real-world experience modernising monolithic codebases.
• Strong C++ skills and Windows Desktop Development (Win32 is a bonus).
• Solid understanding of desktop application development.
• Experience working in a platform team setup.
• Proven commitment to long-term projects and team continuity.

Nice-to-haves:

• Familiarity with the Qt Framework.
• Experience with .NET and C#.
• Front-end/full-stack chops with HTML, React, TypeScript, Node.js.
• Low-level programming experience (C, C++, Rust) and systems knowledge.

Skills.

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Solve problems with a pragmatic mindset—perfection isn’t always the goal.
• Are equally comfortable in legacy code and greenfield builds.
• Love learning new tools, tech, and ways of working.
• Collaborate naturally but can also fly solo when needed.
• Share knowledge freely and lift others up.
• Ask smart questions before writing smart code.
• Bounce back from failure and see it as a learning opportunity.
• Bring humour, humility, and a grounded attitude to your work.
• Embrace agile ways of working and fast feedback loops.
• Care deeply about clean code and software craftsmanship.
• Can juggle shifting priorities without losing focus.

We’d be especially excited if you:

• Think analytically and break down complex systems with ease.
• Take pride in maintaining and improving existing code.
• Communicate clearly with both techies and non-techies.
• Spot problems early and take initiative to fix them.
• Sweat the details—especially in testing and documentation.
• Know your way around Git and collaborative workflows.
• Understand the value of testable code and automated testing.
• Appreciate great UI/UX, especially in complex desktop apps.
• Work well with cross-functional teams—QA, product, and beyond.
• Stay cool under pressure and adapt to change with grace.
• Stay curious and keep your skills sharp

Sounds like you?

Ready to help shape the future of Lasernet? If you’re excited by complex challenges, passionate about clean code, and thrive in a culture that values curiosity, collaboration, and continuous learning—we’d love to meet you. Join us on our journey to build something bold, modern, and meaningful. Let’s make it happen together
