Hi Associate,
Greetings for the day,
We have a position as a Senior .NET Developer role in Grand Rapids, MI. Please find the job description below for this position.
Role: Senior .NET Developer Kafka, Temporal & Azure Microservices
Location: Grand Rapids, MI
Duration: 24 Months
Position Overview:
Design and build resilient, event-driven services powering an ecommerce and omnichannel fulfillment platform, including Ship-to-Store and related initiatives. This hands-on engineering role focuses on solving complex distributed-systems challenges involving ordering guarantees, workflow durability, fault tolerance, and high-scale retail environments.
The role works primarily with .NET, building microservices that communicate through Kafka and orchestrating long-running business processes using Temporal, with services deployed on Microsoft Azure.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services using .NET/C# and Core for order management, inventory, and fulfillment workflows.
- Model and implement long-running, stateful business processes, including order-to-fulfillment and ship-to-store routing, using Temporal.
- Ensure workflow durability, retries, and compensation logic are handled correctly.
- Produce and consume events using Apache Kafka and design topics, partitioning strategies, and schemas that support high-throughput, low-latency processing.
- Architect and deploy services on Microsoft Azure using technologies including AKS, Azure Functions, Service Bus, Event Hubs, and API Management.
- Follow cloud-native and infrastructure-as-code practices.
- Write clean, well-tested, and maintainable code.
- Participate actively in code reviews, design reviews, and architectural decisions.
- Diagnose and resolve production issues across distributed services, including message ordering, idempotency, and eventual-consistency edge cases.
- Collaborate with Product Owners, architects, and QA to translate business requirements into robust technical designs.
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, observability, and overall engineering best practices.
- Mentor mid-level and junior developers and help raise the technical bar across the team.
- Evaluate and prototype emerging technologies, including applied AI/LLM capabilities, where they can improve the platform or developer workflow.
Required Qualifications:
- 6+ years of professional software development experience with strong depth in .NET/C#, including Core and .NET 6+.
- Hands-on production experience with Apache Kafka, including producers and consumers, schema registry, partitioning, consumer group scaling, and failure-handling patterns.
- Practical experience with Temporal or comparable workflow orchestration engines, such as Camunda, AWS Step Functions, or Cadence, for durable execution of long-running business processes.
- Strong experience building and operating microservices on Microsoft Azure, including AKS/Kubernetes, Azure Functions, Service Bus, and Event Hubs.
- Solid understanding of distributed systems concepts, including idempotency, eventual consistency, retries/backoff, event sourcing, and the outbox pattern.
- Experience with relational and NoSQL data stores, including SQL Server or PostgreSQL, Cosmos DB, and Redis.
- Proficiency with containerization using Docker and Kubernetes-based deployment.
- Strong testing discipline, including unit, integration, and contract testing in a microservices environment.
- Experience with CI/CD tooling, such as Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or similar tools, and infrastructure-as-code using Terraform or Bicep.
- Excellent communication skills and comfort working directly with product and architecture stakeholders in an ecommerce/retail context.
Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
