6+ years of professional experience building and operating production-grade systems
Deep proficiency in C# and the .NET ecosystem, including modern application architecture, asynchronous programming, dependency injection, and service-oriented design
Strong hands-on experience designing, building, deploying, and supporting applications or services in Microsoft Azure
Demonstrated experience designing scalable REST APIs, service integrations, and distributed systems with attention to reliability, security, and maintainability
Strong understanding of relational databases, SQL, data modeling, query optimization, and ORM frameworks such as Entity Framework or Entity Framework Core
Experience with CI/CD, source control, automated testing, and modern DevOps practices
Comfort using AI-assisted development tools to improve design, coding, testing, and documentation without sacrificing code quality or judgment
Experience leading technical design discussions and making architectural tradeoff decisions across multiple services
Strong debugging, performance tuning, and production support skills across application and cloud environments
Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across engineering and non-engineering stakeholders

Nice To Haves

Experience with ASP.NET Core, microservices, event-driven systems, background processing, and enterprise integration patterns
