We're looking for a Full Stack .NET Engineer with solid experience building and shipping web applications on the .NET / C# stack, combined with modern frontend skills, to help us deliver reliable, scalable, and delightful experiences to our customers. This is a mid-level role for an engineer who can independently own complex features end-to-end - from API and data layer through to the UI - make sound technical decisions within their area, and mentor and support more junior engineers along the way.

• Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs in .NET / C# that power our web and mobile clients.
• Develop responsive, high-quality frontend features using a modern JavaScript framework (e.g., Angular, React, or Blazor).
• Own complex features end-to-end - from design and implementation through testing, release, and monitoring.
• Design and evolve data models and write efficient queries across SQL and NoSQL databases.
• Debug and resolve issues across services (e.g., data sync between web and mobile), weighing trade-offs to find pragmatic solutions.
• Collaborate closely with product managers and designers to refine scope and deliver seamless application experiences.
• Drive performance, reliability, and code quality through automated testing, code reviews, and observability.
• Contribute to and improve CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling to raise team velocity.
• Mentor junior engineers, review peers' work thoughtfully, and contribute to team documentation and knowledge sharing.
• Participate in architectural discussions and help lead small initiatives or workstreams within your area.

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional software development experience, including 3+ years building applications with .NET / C#.
• Solid frontend experience with a modern JavaScript framework such as Angular, React, or Blazor, including HTML, CSS, and TypeScript.
• Strong experience designing and integrating RESTful APIs and building maintainable, well-tested code.
• Familiarity with SQL and NoSQL databases (e.g., SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB) and sound data modeling.
• Good understanding of software design principles, patterns, and best practices.
• Ability to deliver complex features independently with high quality and reliability, and to reason about performance, scalability, and technical trade-offs.
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and version control workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Git).
• Comfortable working in a cloud environment (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with a track record of clearly sharing progress and raising risks early.
• Bonus: experience with cloud-native architectures, microservices, message queues, or containerization (Docker/Kubernetes).
• Preferred: experience in a fast-moving SaaS product environment.
