Web Developer II

Web Developer II

As a Web Developer II on Safe Software’s Service Enablement Team (SET), you’ll help maintain and improve a suite of public-facing websites and internal tools. This is a hands‑on, full‑stack role where you’ll balance day‑to‑day feature requests and bug fixes with longer‑term initiatives designed to improve the reliability, maintainability, and usability of our web services. Working as a key collaborator for our senior developers, you will touch nearly every part of our technical stack.

Your contributions will range from enhancing user interfaces on our corporate and partner‑facing sites to building out the backend logic and infrastructure that powers our internal and external APIs. You’ll also assist in evolving core business workflows, such as our software licensing systems, into more efficient and scalable services. This role is ideal for a versatile developer who enjoys variety — whether you’re shipping a new search filter for a public site, refining a tool for internal staff, or architecting the platforms that make our technical services and APIs discoverable.

We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds. Even if you don’t meet every listed qualification, we encourage you to apply. We value curiosity, collaboration, and continuous learning.
