NBCC operates a certification system for counselors built on a legacy .NET stack (ASP.NET, C#, SQL Server, Azure) that handles renewal processing, application intake, and compliance workflows. Active hiring across engineering, legal, and operations—with an Ethics Director role signaling organizational focus—suggests they're scaling internal systems while managing growing administrative complexity around ethical complaint handling and multi-affiliate governance.
