Senior Net Engineer information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Senior .NET Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Senior .NET Engineer, you need advanced expertise in C#, .NET frameworks, software architecture, and a relevant degree in computer science or engineering. Familiarity with development tools like Visual Studio, source control systems such as Git, and experience with cloud platforms like Azure are typically required, along with certifications like Microsoft Certified: .NET Developer. Strong problem-solving abilities, effective communication, and leadership skills help you collaborate with teams and mentor junior developers. These skills and qualities are essential for delivering robust, scalable software solutions and driving technical excellence within organizations.

What is the difference between Senior Net Engineer vs Network Administrator?

AspectSenior Net EngineerNetwork Administrator
CredentialsNetworking certifications (e.g., CCNA, CCNP), relevant experienceNetworking certifications, some experience
Work EnvironmentDesigning, implementing, and troubleshooting complex network systemsManaging daily network operations and maintenance
Employer & Industry UsageIT firms, large corporations, service providersMost organizations with IT infrastructure
Search & Comparison IntentUnderstanding advanced network roles, career progressionOperational network management, entry to mid-level roles

The main difference is that Senior Net Engineers focus on designing and implementing complex network solutions, while Network Administrators handle daily network operations and maintenance. Senior Net Engineers typically require advanced certifications and experience, working on strategic projects, whereas Network Administrators manage ongoing network stability. Both roles are vital in IT infrastructure but differ in scope and responsibilities.

What are Senior Net Engineers?

Senior Net Engineers are experienced professionals who design, implement, and maintain computer networks within an organization. They are responsible for ensuring the reliability, security, and performance of network infrastructure, often overseeing more junior engineers and collaborating with IT teams. Senior Net Engineers typically handle complex networking issues, develop network architecture, and recommend new technologies to meet business needs. They are expected to have in-depth knowledge of networking protocols, hardware, and security best practices.

How does a Senior .NET Engineer typically collaborate with cross-functional teams during a project lifecycle?

As a Senior .NET Engineer, you will regularly collaborate with product managers, UI/UX designers, QA engineers, and DevOps teams to deliver robust software solutions. You’ll participate in requirements gathering, provide technical input during planning sessions, and ensure that backend development aligns with business goals and user experience standards. Effective communication and the ability to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders are essential. Additionally, you may mentor junior engineers and contribute to code reviews, promoting best practices across the team.

Job description

ABOUT YOU

We are looking for a Principal Engineer to take architectural ownership of the agent-readable Shop Builder platform. This is the most senior individual contributor role on the DevX and AI team, and the decisions you make here - which surfaces to expose, which formats to support, which standards to set - will bind the platform for years.

You are not a manager, but your influence is org-wide. You define how developers and AI agents interact with Shop Builder's foundational capabilities: UI as Data, custom blocks, themes, data binding, catalog, payments. You are the technical authority on what the platform exposes and how, and you are deeply hands-on with the hardest parts of that work.

ABOUT US

Xsolla is a global payments and commerce platform for the games industry, used by thousands of publishers to monetize, distribute, and operate their titles worldwide. Shop Builder is Xsolla's storefront platform - used by publishers and game developers to launch and operate game shops, from straightforward catalog and webshops to fully custom storefronts built headless on our backend. For more information, visit xsolla.com.

The DevX and AI team owns the public APIs, documentation, and AI features that give developers - and AI agents - the full surface they need to customize and extend Shop Builder. This is a net-new team of seven, standing up to fill a real gap: no dedicated team has owned the developer surface end to end. That changes now.

Responsibilities

  • Own the technical architecture of the agent-readable Shop Builder platform: which APIs to expose, in what shape, through which surfaces (REST, SDK, MCP, CLI).

  • Define the interface contracts that LLMs and developers interact with - React component APIs, custom block schemas, theme tokens, data binding formats - and maintain them with the rigor of a public API.

  • Design and lead delivery of the MCP server that allows AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) to build, deploy, and operate Shop Builder storefronts end-to-end without the editor in the loop.

  • Architect the CLI and local development environment: how developers scaffold projects, iterate locally, preview changes, and push to production.

  • Define the deploy, versioning, and rollback model for developer-published content - custom blocks, themes, and layouts.

  • Design the sandbox and preview environment system so agents and developers can iterate without touching live partner sites.

  • Set the documentation standard: written for LLMs and humans as first-class users, maintained from single canonical sources and published to every surface (CLI help, dev docs, MCP tool descriptions, AI context).

  • Lead the eval harness architecture: how the team measures whether an LLM-generated block, theme, or layout is correct before it ships.

  • Collaborate with Principal/Staff Engineers across payments, auth, live ops, and catalog to pull inbound capabilities into coherent developer-facing surfaces.

  • Serve as the technical bar-raiser for the team: define code standards, review critical implementation decisions, and mentor the Tech Lead and engineers.

  • Contribute to hiring and define the technical culture of the team from day one.

Qualifications & Skills

  • 10+ years of professional engineering experience, with a demonstrated track record as a Staff or Principal engineer who has shaped platforms, APIs, or developer tooling used by external builders.

  • Deep expertise in designing and shipping public APIs and SDKs, including versioning strategy, backwards compatibility, and developer ergonomics - strong opinions about what makes an API delightful vs. painful.

  • Expert-level proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and React - the primary interface language for LLMs and developers on this platform.

  • Hands-on experience building CLI tooling and local developer workflows (scaffolding, hot reload, file-based config, deploy commands).

  • Solid understanding of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) or equivalent agentic tool-use interfaces, and practical experience building tools that AI agents can reliably invoke.

  • Experience building systems at global scale on cloud infrastructure (AWS or GCP), with deep knowledge of containerization, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code.

  • Ability to write and reason about LLM-friendly documentation and API surfaces: you understand that token-efficiency, predictability, and schema clarity matter as much as human readability.

  • Exceptional technical communication: clear RFCs and ADRs, productive architecture reviews, and the ability to explain second-order consequences to engineering and business leadership.

  • Comfort operating in a greenfield context - you define the structure rather than inherit it.

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience in game tech, digital commerce, or storefront platforms - understanding the publisher/developer relationship and headless vs. hosted deployment patterns.

  • Experience building platforms where AI agents are a first-class user: MCP servers, LLM tool registries, agent eval pipelines.

  • Familiarity with Figma's plugin/component API, design token standards, and design-to-code pipelines.

  • Contributions to open-source developer tooling, SDK frameworks, or API standards.

  • Background in block or extension marketplace design: sandboxing third-party code, schema validation, publisher ecosystems.

  • Published technical writing, conference talks, or influential community presence in developer tooling or AI-native development.
