Job Description:

Are you an early-career software developer looking for an opportunity to build your technical skills while working on real-world applications?

CSI is seeking a Software Engineer I to join our development team in Paducah, Kentucky. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate or junior developer who wants to begin or grow a career in software development while gaining hands-on experience with C#, SQL, JavaScript, APIs, and banking technology.

You’ll work alongside experienced developers who can help you learn CSI's applications, development processes, and tools. Most of your time will be spent coding, with additional opportunities to troubleshoot applications, work through support requests, test changes, and collaborate with Product Management and other teams.

This is a hybrid position based in Paducah, where many members of the team are located. Having the team nearby will provide additional opportunities for hands-on training, mentoring, and collaboration as you get up to speed.

What You'll Do

• Spend approximately 75% of your time coding and developing application enhancements
• Develop and maintain applications using C#, SQL, and JavaScript
• Write, test, debug, and maintain code under the guidance of experienced developers
• Assist with enhancements and ongoing development for CSI's banking applications
• Troubleshoot production issues and respond to application-related support requests
• Work with Product Management, CRC, and internal stakeholders to research questions and resolve application issues
• Write and execute functional test scenarios
• Identify and resolve straightforward software bugs, escalating more complex issues when appropriate
• Participate in code reviews and incorporate feedback from experienced developers
• Contribute to sprint planning, team meetings, and development discussions
• Learn CSI's products, development tools, processes, and banking applications
• Participate in occasional post-release testing, currently occurring approximately six times per year

Technologies You'll Work With

Primary technologies:

• C#
• .NET
• SQL
• JavaScript

Experience or exposure to the following is a plus, but not required:

• Angular
• API development
• Postman
• Swagger
• Hangfire
• Telerik controls

 Candidates do not need to come in knowing every technology listed above. This is an early-career role designed for someone who has a solid technical foundation and is excited to continue learning.

Applications You'll Support

You'll have an opportunity to work with several applications supporting CSI's banking customers, including solutions focused on:

• Document storage and retrieval
• Bank and executive reporting
• Data processing and database integration
• Telephone banking
• Other internally developed banking applications

One of the primary areas of focus will be Centerdoc, CSI's document storage solution. You'll provide additional development capacity and backup support while gaining deeper knowledge of the application.

What We're Looking For

• 0–3 years of hands-on experience in software development or a related technical field
• Education or training from an accredited university, college, trade school, or comparable technical program
• Foundational knowledge of software development concepts
• Experience or coursework involving C#, SQL, and/or JavaScript
• Ability to troubleshoot problems and work through technical issues
• Willingness to ask questions, accept feedback, and learn from more experienced developers
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Interest in building a long-term career in software development

Coursework, internships, personal projects, and early professional development experience may all be relevant for this position.

Work Environment

This role is based in Paducah, Kentucky and will follow a hybrid work model, with approximately 1–2 days per week in the office, particularly during onboarding and training.

Grow Your Career at CSI

This position is designed for someone at the beginning of their software development career. You'll have the opportunity to learn from experienced engineers, work on applications used by financial institutions, and gradually take on greater technical ownership as your skills and product knowledge grow.

CSI developers also have access to AI tools such as Microsoft Copilot and Claude as supplemental resources for activities such as understanding or analyzing code. AI-generated output is expected to be reviewed and validated rather than used as a replacement for software development knowledge and judgment.
