  • Participate in system and solution design discussions, recommending architectural and reliability improvements
  • Write and maintain automated tests (unit, integration, service‑level)
  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, Git‑based workflows, and deployment automation
  • Support production systems, including troubleshooting, root‑cause analysis, and stability improvements
  • Conduct peer code reviews and contribute to engineering standards and best practices
  • Produce clear technical documentation (design notes, APIs, operational runbooks)
  • Act as a technical resource and mentor for less‑experienced developers without formal people management

Basic Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field OR equivalent combination of education and experience
  • 7+ years of professional software development experience
  • Strong hands‑on experience with C# and .NET / .NET Framework
  • Experience building and supporting enterprise‑scale applications
  • Proficiency with SQL Server and data access technologies (e.g., Entity Framework, Dapper)
  • Experience working in large, complex organizations (Healthcare, Pharma, Manufacturing, Financial Services)
  • Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments

Preferred Skills / Experience:

  • Experience with ASP.NET Web API / MVC
  • Exposure to .NET Core / .NET 6+
  • Cloud experience (e.g., Azure or AWS)
  • CI/CD tooling and DevOps practices
  • Experience with legacy system modernization
  • Front‑end exposure (React or Angular) to support end‑to‑end collaboration
  • Experience working in regulated environments (healthcare, financial, or other compliance‑driven sectors)
