Requirements

Experience: 7+ years in professional software engineering (or equivalent depth), including 3+ years building and supporting production-critical, integration-heavy services.
Backend fundamentals: Strong service design skills across distributed systems (retries, timeouts, failure modes), C#, .NET framework, API design, and safe data/transaction handling.
Azure: Hands-on experience shipping services on Azure, including a solid grasp of networking (DNS/Firewall) and operational best practices.
Databases (SQL): Strong SQL skills, including schema design and performance tuning for reporting, reconciliation, or batch workloads.
Communication: Clear, structured written and verbal communication; able to explain tradeoffs and the “why” to technical and non-technical partners.

Nice To Haves

Reporting & ETL: Experience with reporting/template engines (e.g., Seal Reports) plus light ETL and batch processing patterns.
Event-driven architecture: Familiarity with messaging patterns such as: Webhooks, idempotency, and deduplication Retry strategies, backoff, and dead-letter queues (DLQs)

Responsibilities

System design & delivery: Architect and build backend services that protect transaction integrity (idempotency, concurrency control, auditability) with clear, stable APIs.
Cloud operations (Azure): Deploy and operate services using containers and/or serverless patterns, with strong observability (logging, metrics, tracing), incident response, and cost awareness.
