.NET Developer

Cayenta is seeking a talented intermediate-level .NET Backend Developer to join our software development team. In this role, you will focus on implementing robust, scalable application business logic for our next-generation Customer Information Systems (CIS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms.

While this role is primarily backend-focused, experience with React or Go is highly valuable. Prior experience working on software for Utilities is a significant plus.

We’re looking for a developer with a proven track record in building and maintaining modern backend applications, a passion for solving complex challenges, and a mindset focused on continuous improvement.

You will report to the Director of Research & Development, with a preference for candidates based in Canada.

WHAT WILL BE YOUR NEW ROLE

• Take ownership of backend features and services, developing scalable and efficient application logic for our CIS and ERP platforms.
• Implement APIs and business logic using .NET and GraphQL, ensuring high performance, scalability, and maintainability.
• Collaborate with frontend developers to integrate APIs and provide seamless backend support for modern user interfaces.
• Work with relational and non-relational databases, designing schemas and optimizing queries to support application needs.
• Proactively identify and resolve complex issues, including debugging and optimizing backend performance.
• Actively participate in code reviews, mentor junior developers, and ensure adherence to backend development best practices.
• Stay informed about advancements and best practices in backend development to suggest and implement continuous improvements.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR

• 3+ years of professional experience in backend development, with a focus on .NET, supported by an undergraduate degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong knowledge of C#, with experience building and maintaining APIs using frameworks like ASP.NET Core.
• Proficiency in working with relational and non-relational databases (e.g., SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB).
• Familiarity with designing and implementing RESTful APIs and working with GraphQL.
• Experience with modern authentication mechanisms such as OAuth or JSON Web Tokens (JWT).
• Knowledge of CI/CD workflows and DevOps tools such as GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or Jenkins.
• A proactive, self-driven mindset with excellent interpersonal and communication skills, enabling effective collaboration and ownership of projects.

WHAT WILL MAKE YOU STAND OUT

• Experience working on backend systems for Utilities software, such as CIS or ERP applications.
• Familiarity with React or Go development, showcasing your ability to collaborate effectively with frontend teams or transition into full-stack projects.
• Knowledge of cloud environments, such as Microsoft Azure, and experience with containerization tools like Docker.
• Contributions to open-source projects or active participation in tech communities.
• Experience building scalable microservices architectures and optimizing backend performance.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, with experience working on production-grade applications.

WHAT WE OFFER

3 weeks vacation and 5 personal days

• Comprehensive Medical, Dental and Vision coverage from your first day of employment
• Employee stock ownership and RRSP/401k matching programs
• Lifestyle rewards
• Flexible work options (and some pretty cool offices!)
