• Strong experience building solutions from the ground up
• 5+ years of hands-on development using C#, .NET / .NET Core, and SQL Server
• Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs (SOAP experience a plus)
• Solid understanding of SOA principles, distributed systems, and system integration
• Experience with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform)
• Experience deploying and operating applications in Kubernetes
• Experience implementing Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred)

Strong Technical Foundation In:

• SQL Server (stored procedures, views, functions, performance tuning)
• Pub/Sub and messaging patterns (e.g., ActiveMQ, EMS, or similar)
• Caching strategies and exception handling
• Source control tools (Git, TFS, or similar)
• Distributed systems integrating legacy and modern technologies

Nice to Have

What Success Looks Like

• You plan and execute work effectively using available tools and resources
• You raise the technical bar through thoughtful design and clean implementation
• You communicate clearly and collaborate well across teams
• You're motivated by long-term outcomes, not just short-term fixes

Why Join Us

• Work on meaningful, high-scale systems
• Opportunity to influence architecture and engineering standards
• Balance of hands-on coding and technical leadership
• Collaborative, quality-driven engineering culture
