Requirements

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
6+ years of professional software engineering experience.
Deep proficiency in C# and the .NET ecosystem (.NET 6+, ASP.NET Core).
Proven experience designing and building RESTful APIs, including versioning, authentication, and documentation (e.g., Swagger/OpenAPI).
Strong fundamentals in software design, debugging, and maintainable coding practices.
Expertise working with relational data stores (e.g., SQL Server, PostgreSQL) and ORM frameworks (e.g., Entity Framework Core).
Experience with cloud platforms, e.g. Azure or AWS, including deploying and operating .NET services.
Demonstrated ability to lead technical delivery, mentor others, and handle ambiguity effectively.
Track record of raising engineering quality (reliability, performance, testing, maintainability).
Experience participating in estimation and sprint planning.
Proficiency with version control systems (Git) and defect-tracking tools (e.g., Jira).
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Detail-oriented, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Demonstrated growth mindset — self-driven learning and continuous improvement.

Nice To Haves

Experience using AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude) to accelerate software development.
Familiarity with message brokers or event-driven architectures (e.g., Azure Service Bus, RabbitMQ, Kafka).
Experience with microservices architecture and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
Knowledge of gRPC or GraphQL API patterns.
Background in API gateway configuration and management (e.g., Azure API Management, AWS API Gateway).
Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.

Responsibilities

Lead implementation for large features or multi-sprint projects, driving backend execution and delivery using C# and the .NET platform.
Design, build, and maintain RESTful and/or GraphQL APIs that are performant, secure, and well-documented.
Decompose complex problems into milestones; translate acceptance criteria into robust, testable backend solutions.
Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance; elevate team capabilities.
Influence engineering practices (testing, design hygiene, operational readiness) to raise overall quality.
Contribute to proofs-of-concept and prototypes to validate architectural approaches and reduce delivery risk.
Collaborate effectively with stakeholders (product, QA, leads) throughout development and testing.
Other duties as assigned.
