Senior Software Engineer

As a Senior Software Engineer at NOV, you’ll play a key role in building Ideal OS — our next-generation web platform for managing oilfield completions equipment and job execution in the field. You’ll develop both front- and back-end systems, take direction from senior technical leads, mentor junior engineers, and deliver reliable, maintainable software that supports safe and efficient field operations.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain full-stack applications using C#/.NET, Angular, and CSS for intuitive, responsive, and maintainable interfaces.
• Use Nx (Nrwl) to structure Angular workspaces, enforce clear project boundaries, improve build times, and streamline Angular upgrades across apps and libraries.
• Implement pragmatic, in-memory UI state for live-data screens; avoid unnecessary state libraries when not needed.
• Develop and maintain RESTful APIs; integrate web applications with real-time data and equipment systems using SignalR, MQTT, and industrial protocols like Modbus or OPC-UA.
• Extend PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB databases to support new features and performance improvements.
• Participate in code reviews and mentor junior engineers through design discussions, feedback, and pair programming to uphold team standards and best practices.
• Investigate, document, and resolve defects efficiently, combining analysis and corrective actions into one streamlined process.
• Provide accurate development estimates and proactively manage delivery risks.
• Participate in design and planning sessions, offering thoughtful input on implementation approaches.
