• Build fault-tolerant, self-healing workflow platforms that execute in distributed Windows-based cloud environments.
• Drive engineering excellence, resiliency, operational scalability, and maintainable software design.

• Design, develop, and maintain large-scale workflow automation platforms that process high volumes of files, documents, and business transactions.
• Build resilient software systems that ingest, validate, transform, enrich, and export data across multiple internal and external systems.
• Engineer fault-tolerant solutions capable of detecting failures, recovering automatically, and minimizing operational intervention.
• Develop automation frameworks that interact with Windows desktop applications, cloud services, databases, APIs, file systems, and third-party platforms.
• Design and implement workflow orchestration, checkpointing, retry strategies, state management, and recovery mechanisms.
• Support and modernize existing applications by leveraging legacy MVC implementations while developing and integrating modern RESTful and GraphQL interfaces.
• Develop solutions that operate within distributed cloud-hosted virtual machine environments and support large-scale concurrent processing workloads.
• Create telemetry, monitoring, logging, and diagnostic capabilities.
• Leverage modern AI-assisted development workflows where appropriate.

• Bachelor degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Strong experience developing applications using C#, .NET Framework, .NET Core, and modern .NET platforms.
• Experience designing workflow automation, process orchestration, or systems integration solutions.
• Strong understanding of object-oriented design and software engineering principles including SOLID, DRY, Clean Code, and design patterns.
• Strong SQL and data analysis skills.
• Experience working with Azure cloud services and distributed application architectures.

• Experience building enterprise workflow automation solutions that process large volumes of customer files and transactions.
• Experience designing automation that operates reliably within Windows-based virtual machine environments and unattended execution scenarios.
• Experience building systems that support bulk file ingestion, processing, transformation, and export workflows.
• Understanding of ETL and ELT methodologies including data mapping, transformation, validation, reconciliation, and migration processes.
• Experience with queue-based architectures, event-driven systems, asynchronous processing, and distributed workloads.

• Experience automating Windows desktop applications running in unattended or headless execution environments.
• Experience interacting with file systems, background processes, services, application interfaces, and system IO.
• Ability to develop robust abstraction layers that tolerate application evolution and configuration changes.
• Experience with virtualized Windows environments and cloud-hosted worker infrastructure.

• SOLID design principles.
• DRY methodologies.
• Clean Code practices.
• Dependency Injection patterns.
• Unit testing and automated validation strategies.
• Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD).
• Observability and production monitoring practices.

• Design systems that fail gracefully.
• Recover automatically.
• Support checkpoint-based recovery.
• Preserve transactional integrity.
• Provide actionable telemetry and logging.
• Operate reliably under sustained high-volume processing conditions.

• Familiarity with Agentic SDLC practices and emerging AI-assisted engineering workflows.
• Experience utilizing Specification Driven Development (SDD) approaches and understanding both benefits and limitations.
• Ability to apply engineering judgment when leveraging AI-assisted development tools
