Job description

SHAZAM recognizes that financial institutions build better communities, and this drives our passion to strengthen financial institutions. We are a trusted partner to our valued customers providing answers, choice, and innovation with an impeccable level of customer service – a level unmatched in the industry.


And here’s the best part - we’re a national company that offers a small-company feel, a cultural balance that’s hard to come by but very real at SHAZAM. Your growth and development are top priorities and you’ll be surrounded by talented individuals and postured to make a real difference in the company. As a team member at SHAZAM, you’ll be an essential part of our mission as we work together strengthening financial institutions.


This is a hybrid position based out of our Johnston, IA office.


What we’re looking for:


SHAZAM is looking for a Software Engineer to join our team. As a Software Engineer, you will be responsible for supporting the development, maintenance and improvement of software applications with minimal guidance from more experienced engineers. This position focuses on executing complex foundational engineering practices, writing clear and reliable code, assisting with troubleshooting and contributing to well-defined tasks throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC).



What you'll do:

  • Write clean, reliable, scalable, and testable code using Python and C++
  • Design production‑quality solutions with attention to maintainability, performance, and long‑term value
  • Participate in all phases of the SDLC: planning, design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance
  • Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve moderately complex software issues
  • Collaborate with product partners and cross‑functional teams, clearly communicating technical details and tradeoffs
  • Conduct code reviews and provide constructive feedback to peers and junior engineers
  • Contribute to process and tooling improvements by identifying inefficiencies and proposing actionable solutions
  • Research and evaluate new technologies, tools, and approaches to solve engineering challenges
  • Create and maintain clear technical documentation for implemented features
  • Participate in root cause analysis (RCA) and help improve system reliability, scalability, and monitoring
  • Serve as a subject‑matter expert for a specific application, subsystem, or process
  • Participate in an on‑call rotation with support and guidance


What you need:

  • Minimum of 3 years of professional software development experience and proficiency with the programming languages Python and C++
  • Working knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and object‑oriented design principles
  • Familiarity with common software engineering practices including version control (Git), testing, and debugging
  • Experience using modern development tools and collaboration platforms (e.g., Microsoft Teams).
  • Strong problem‑solving skills with the ability to connect complex concepts and design effective solutions
  • Clear verbal and written communication skills, especially when discussing technical topics
  • Self‑motivated with a growth mindset and eagerness to learn new technologies


What’s in it for you:


  • A mission-driven company with a strong sense of purpose
  • A hybrid work environment that values flexibility and collaboration
  • Opportunities for professional development and career growth
  • A culture that values innovation, integrity, and community impact
  • Excellent benefits:
    • Health, dental, and vision insurance
    • 401(k) retirement plan with company match
    • Flexible spending and health savings accounts
    • Life insurance and short- and long-term disability provided at no cost
    • Time away from work – PTO, VTO, paid parental leave, and company holidays
    • Educational assistance


Actual compensation is based on various factors, such as geographic location, experience, education, and/or skill level, and is finalized at the time of offer.


SHAZAM is an equal opportunity employer, including those with disabilities or status as a protected veteran. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment.


Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based visa sponsorship now or in the future; ITS, Inc./SHAZAM will not sponsor applicants for U.S. work visa status for this opportunity (no sponsorship is available for H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, E-3, H-1B1, F-1, J-1, OPT, CPT or any other employment-based visa).

The AI system is designed to help our team efficiently identify qualified candidates by identifying relevant skills and experience within submitted applications. All final hiring decisions are made by our hiring team.
