Contract role

Responsibilities:

• Design, and deliver highly scalable, fault-tolerant services and features across our microservices platform.
• Take end-to-end technical ownership — from requirements through deployment, monitoring, and production support.
• Lead technical design discussions and contribute meaningfully to architecture decisions, technology choices, and engineering standards.
• Proactively identify and address technical debt — refactor and improve maintainability, performance, and reliability of the codebase.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex production issues with urgency and structured problem-solving.
• Collaborate with Product, QA, and stakeholders to clarify requirements, surface risks early, and drive solutions to completion with minimal supervision.
• Champion engineering best practices — testing, CI/CD, security, observability, and documentation.
• Leverage AI developer tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor) effectively to accelerate development and improve engineering output.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Required Qualifications:

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience in a multi-team, production environment.
• .NET Framework / .NET Core / C# – expert-level experience designing and building APIs, microservices, and back-end systems; strong grasp of design patterns and SOLID principles.
• React – Experience building scalable, maintainable front-end applications; strong understanding of state management, performance optimization, and component architecture.
• Good grasp of JVM-based language fundamentals (Java or Kotlin); able to read, reason about, and contribute to codebases beyond the primary stack when the need arises.

• Databases (SQL Server & PostgreSQL) – expert‑level experience with relational database design, complex query optimization, indexing strategies, and performance tuning.
• RESTful API design – proven ability to design, build, version, and secure APIs at scale.
• Strong understanding of microservices architecture, distributed systems, and integration patterns.
• Containers (Docker) – strong hands‑on experience; comfortable with containerized application design, networking, and deployment.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or equivalent).
• Solid understanding of Agile / Scrum practices and the full software development lifecycle.
• Demonstrated and effective use of AI-assisted development tools as part of everyday engineering workflow.

Nice‑to-Have Skills

• Experience with Kubernetes or Azure Container Apps for container orchestration.
• Familiarity with event‑driven architecture and message brokers (e.g., Azure Service Bus, RabbitMQ, Kafka).
