Domain-driven design concepts where appropriate
Implement authentication and authorization using technologies such as OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, JWT, and Microsoft Entra ID where applicable.
Implement structured logging, exception handling, input validation, caching, configuration management, and application monitoring.
Optimize application performance, API response times, memory utilization, and database interactions.
Troubleshoot complex production and application issues.
3. Frontend Development – Angular

Lead and contribute to frontend application development using Angular and TypeScript.
Build reusable Angular components, modules, services, directives, and shared libraries.
Apply Angular best practices for:
Component architecture
Routing
Reactive Forms
RxJS
Dependency Injection
State management
Error handling
API integration
Integrate Angular applications with REST APIs and backend services.
Ensure frontend applications are responsive, maintainable, secure, and performant.
Review frontend code and guide developers on Angular and TypeScript best practices.
Work closely with UX/UI teams to convert functional designs into reusable frontend components.
4. Database & SQL

Design and develop database solutions using Microsoft SQL Server or equivalent enterprise relational databases.
Write complex SQL queries, stored procedures, functions, views, and database scripts.
Perform query optimization and SQL performance tuning.
Analyze execution plans and identify bottlenecks related to indexing, joins, table scans, locking, and query design.
Participate in database schema and data model design.
Ensure database changes follow established deployment, security, and version-control practices.
Work with large datasets while maintaining application and database performance.
Diagnose and resolve data integrity and database performance issues.
5. Code Quality & Engineering Practices

Conduct code reviews and ensure adherence to coding standards and engineering best practices.
Promote SOLID principles, clean code, reusable components, and maintainable architecture.
Drive automated unit and integration testing using technologies such as xUnit, NUnit, MSTest, Moq, or equivalent frameworks.
Establish appropriate code-quality checks and test coverage standards.
Participate in technical debt identification and remediation.
Drive root-cause analysis for defects and production incidents.
Ensure security vulnerabilities and application risks are addressed throughout the software development lifecycle.
6. CI/CD, DevOps & Cloud

Work with DevOps teams to establish automated build and deployment pipelines.
Support CI/CD implementation using technologies such as Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or equivalent platforms.
Ensure appropriate source-control practices using Git, including branching, pull requests, peer reviews, and release management.
Understand containerization using Docker and modern application deployment practices.
Exposure to deploying .NET and Angular applications on Microsoft Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud is desirable.
Support application observability using logging, monitoring, metrics, and application-performance monitoring solutions.
7. Team Leadership & Delivery

Lead and mentor a team of software developers.
Provide technical guidance to developers and support resolution of complex engineering problems.
Break down business requirements into technical stories and development tasks.
Assist with effort estimation, sprint planning, backlog refinement, and release planning.
Track technical dependencies and work with project/program managers to identify delivery risks.
Coordinate development activities across backend, frontend, database, QA, architecture, and DevOps teams.
Ensure deliverables meet agreed quality, performance, security, and timeline expectations.
Support junior and mid-level engineers through mentoring, technical reviews, and knowledge-sharing sessions.
8. Stakeholder Collaboration

Collaborate with Product Owners, Business Analysts, Architects, Engineering Managers, QA teams, DevOps engineers, and business stakeholders.
Participate in requirement-analysis and solution-design discussions.
Communicate technical concepts, risks, trade-offs, and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Support production releases and coordinate resolution of critical production issues.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a hands-on .NET technical lead rather than a purely managerial lead. They should be comfortable moving between C# backend development, Angular frontend implementation, SQL/database troubleshooting, architecture discussions, code reviews, and team mentoring.

A strong candidate should be able to take a business requirement through technical design → API/database design → development → code review → testing → CI/CD → production deployment and support, while guiding the engineering team throughout the lifecycle.
