Job description

Responsibilities
  • Lead the design and implementation of full stack applications using .NET (C#) and Blazor, ensuring solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with business objectives.
  • Define and evolve the technical architecture across frontend and backend systems, making pragmatic trade-offs between speed, quality, and complexity.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, enabling teams to deploy frequently and safely with automated build, test, and release workflows.
  • Champion automated testing at all levels - unit, integration, and end-to-end - embedding quality into the development process rather than treating it as a gate.
  • Design and manage cloud infrastructure on Microsoft Azure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tooling such as Bicep, Terraform, or ARM templates, ensuring environments are reproducible, version-controlled, and secure.
  • Implement and manage feature flagging strategies using LaunchDarkly to support progressive rollouts, experimentation, and safe deployments.
  • Conduct code reviews, provide technical guidance, and mentor engineers across the team to raise the bar on engineering standards and practices.
  • Collaborate with product managers, designers, and stakeholders to translate requirements into well-scoped technical plans and delivery milestones.
  • Evaluate and introduce new tools, frameworks, and patterns where they provide meaningful improvement, while managing technical debt pragmatically.
  • Contribute to incident response, production support, and post-incident reviews, fostering a culture of reliability and continuous improvement.

Required Qualifications
  • 7+ years of professional software development experience, with at least 2 years in a technical lead or senior architecture role.
  • Strong proficiency in .NET (C#), including ASP.NET Core, Web APIs, and server-side application development.
  • Hands-on experience building interactive web applications with Blazor (Server and/or WebAssembly).
  • Deep working knowledge of Microsoft Azure services (App Services, Azure SQL, Azure Functions, Service Bus, Entra ID, Key Vault, and related).
  • Proven experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions, including branch strategies, environment promotion, and automated quality gates.
  • Practical experience with Infrastructure as Code using Bicep, Terraform, or ARM templates in Azure environments.
  • Experience implementing feature management and progressive delivery using LaunchDarkly or comparable feature flagging platforms.
  • Strong commitment to automated testing practices and experience with testing frameworks such as xUnit, NUnit, bUnit, Playwright, or similar.
  • Solid understanding of relational databases (SQL Server, Azure SQL) and data access patterns (Entity Framework Core, Dapper).

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration platforms (Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Container Apps).
  • Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools such as Application Insights, Azure Monitor, Grafana, or Datadog.
  • Experience with event-driven architectures, messaging systems, or microservices patterns.
  • Azure certifications (e.g., Azure Developer Associate, Azure Solutions Architect Expert).
  • Experience working in Agile or Scrum environments with cross-functional teams.
  • Track record of contributing to developer experience improvements - internal tooling, templates, documentation, or developer onboarding.

What We Value
  • A pragmatic engineering mindset - you optimize for outcomes, not perfection.
  • Clear, direct communication with both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • A bias toward shipping, paired with the discipline to build things right.
  • Genuine interest in growing other engineers and building a strong team culture.
  • Comfort operating with ambiguity and making decisions with incomplete information.
