Datacom works with organisations and communities across Australia and New Zealand to make a difference in people’s lives and help organisations use the power of tech to innovate and grow.

About the Role (your why)

The Software Developer (.NET) is a highly experienced and skilled software engineer responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining robust and scalable web applications using the Microsoft .NET technology stack. This role requires a deep understanding of both front-end and back-end development, as well as a strong grasp of software engineering principles and best practices. You will play a key role in the full software development lifecycle, from requirements gathering to deployment and maintenance.

You will be joining a close knit team, with a wide breadth of skills and interests, as well as interesting customers and projects. Our office is based in Wellington, and while we value the benefits of working from home to support work/life balance, we do expect team members to spend some time in the office each week to collaborate and stay connected. We trust you and your team to find the right balance that works best for everyone.

What you’ll do
Your key responsibilities will include:

• Full Stack Development: Design, develop, and implement both front-end and back-end components of web applications using .NET technologies.
• .NET Framework/Core Expertise: Demonstrate strong proficiency in .NET Framework or .NET Core, including ASP.NET, C#, and related technologies.
• Front-End Development: Develop user interfaces using modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue.js), HTML, CSS, and related technologies. Focus on user experience and responsive design.
• Back-End Development: Develop robust and scalable back-end services and APIs using .NET technologies, including Web API, RESTful services, and database interactions.
• Database Design & Management: Design and manage relational databases (e.g., SQL Server, MySQL) and write efficient SQL queries. Experience with ORM frameworks (e.g., Entity Framework) is a plus.
• API Development & Integration: Design and develop RESTful APIs and integrate with third-party services.
• Testing & Quality Assurance: Write unit and integration tests to ensure code quality and application stability. Implement automated testing strategies.
• Deployment & Maintenance: Deploy and maintain applications in cloud environments (e.g., Azure, AWS) or on-premise servers. Implement CI/CD pipelines.
• Code Reviews & Mentoring: Participate in code reviews to ensure code quality and share best practices with junior developers. Mentor junior team members.
• Requirements Gathering & Analysis: Collaborate with stakeholders to gather requirements and translate them into technical specifications.
• Problem Solving & Debugging: Troubleshoot and debug complex issues related to application performance and functionality.
• Agile Development: Work in an Agile development environment, participating in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives.

We are a pretty agile company, and are keen to respond to customer, technology and internal stakeholders’ changing requirements and this can mean we evolve in our roles to meet those needs, including opportunities for growth into the GIS space as well as AI, and Ruby on Rails.

What you’ll bring

Key Skills:

• Extensive experience with .NET Framework or .NET Core, ASP.NET, and C#.
• Strong front-end development skills using modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue.js), HTML, and CSS.
• 3+ years Experience with RESTful API design and development.
• 3+ years’ related experience in a similar technical environment.
• Proficiency in database design and management (e.g., SQL Server, MySQL).
