• Improve CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, and development workflows
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues across distributed systems and cloud environments
• Support high-priority development initiatives and product releases when needed
• Help measure and evaluate the effectiveness of delivered features through business and user outcomes

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 3-5+ years of software development experience
• Strong experience with C# and .NET Core

  • Azure API Management
  • Azure SQL
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes
• Familiarity with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and Azure DevOps

• Solid understanding of application/feature-level design

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with PDF and document-generation tools such as Aspose, IronPDF, or iTextSharp
• Experience in tax, accounting, financial services, or regulated industries
• Exposure to Python, AI/ML tools, or AI-powered product features
• Experience working in high-growth SaaS or startup environments
• Experience leveraging analytics, observability, or customer feedback to improve product usability and adoption
