Job description

Software Guidance & Assistance, Inc., (SGA), is searching for a C#/.Net Developer with Strong SQL Performance Tuning for a right to hire assignment with one of our premier clients. This is not a Manager level nor Architect position.
This role will be remote - EST time zone candidates.
Our technology client is seeking a .NET Developer for a Contract-to-Hire opportunity to take ownership of an established product and become productive very quickly. The successful candidate needs to be comfortable picking up an existing/legacy codebase, understanding it quickly, troubleshooting issues and making pragmatic improvements without needing to rewrite the product.
Required Technical Skills :
  • C# / .NET
  • IIS and production web applications
  • SQL Server, with strong database performance-tuning experience
