About the Role:

We are looking for an enthusiastic .NET Engineer to join our team in evolving Frontiers' publishing platform. The platform is large and complex, combining both modern and legacy technologies.

• Collaborate with product managers, architects, and other cross-functional teams to gather requirements, assess technical feasibility, and determine optimal implementation strategies.
• Collaborate within a multinational, cross-functional team to deliver software solutions aligned with business needs.
• Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code while adhering to best practices.
• Ensure the quality of the delivered solutions.
• Optimize applications for performance, scalability, and responsiveness.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical challenges.
• Conduct code reviews and mentor junior engineers.
• Willingness to learn, flexible approach, and staying current with emerging trends in IT to maintain an up-to-date technology stack.
  
  

Required Skills and Experience:

• 4+ years of experience in software engineering, specializing in .NET Core/Framework.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience with SQL Server.
• Familiar with Agile/Scrum methodologies.
• Skilled in building and consuming RESTful APIs.
• Experience troubleshooting complex production issues using monitoring tools such as New Relic, Grafana, and others.
• Strong expertise in SQL Server, including performance tuning, indexing strategies, query optimization, and troubleshooting production issues.
• Experience with MongoDB.
• Experienced in implementing asynchronous microservice communication with RabbitMQ.
• Hands-on experience with the Azure cloud platform.
• Strong proficiency in object-oriented programming and SOLID principles.
• Experience integrating AI solutions into customer-facing applications.
• Proficient in leveraging AI to enhance daily engineering work.
• Solid understanding of microservices and micro-frontend concepts.
• Excellent problem-solving skills with a strong attention to detail.
  
  

Nice-to-Have Skills:

• Deep expertise in Vue.js, including Vue 2 and Vue 3, with a strong understanding of state management, component-based architecture, and best practices for building scalable front-end applications.
• Exposure to CI/CD pipeline creation in Azure DevOps.
