• You’ll collaborate with other engineers to support scalable, secure, multi-tenant solutions, focusing on areas that align with your interests and strengths (e.g., frontend, backend, or database).
• You’ll support security and accessibility standards, learning to use tools to enable solid development practices.
• You’ll engage in code reviews to improve your skills and contribute to team quality standards.
• You’ll assist in database design and optimization with guidance from senior team members.
• You’ll learn client communication skills with support from senior engineers, helping understand and respond to client needs.
• Other duties as assigned.

What You’ll Need:

• 0–2 years of professional or internship experience in C# development, with a familiarity in both .NET Framework and modern .NET.
• Understanding of relational databases like MySQL, with an eagerness to grow in database design and optimization.
• Experience or coursework with .NET ORM tools like Entity Framework or NHibernate.
• Interest in public cloud platforms like AWS (preferred), Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
• A proactive approach to professional development, with a curiosity for learning in web and software technologies.
• Must be legally eligible to work in Canada

Preferred Qualifications:

• Exposure to Lean-Agile environments with collaborative work practices.
• Basic experience or coursework in Test-Driven Development (TDD).
