• Estimate work effort and contribute meaningfully to project planning and delivery timelines.
• Dive into a large, multi-service codebase quickly — comprehend existing patterns and begin contributing in a short ramp-up period.
• Collaborate with engineers across teams to identify gaps, surface risks early, and drive technical decisions to resolution.
• Write unit and integration tests; uphold code quality standards through code reviews and automation.
• Support production systems and assist our 3-tier support staff when incidents arise.
• Proactively use AI developer tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor) to accelerate development, improve code quality, and reduce repetitive work.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

• .NET Framework / .NET Core / C#– developing APIs, services, and back-end business logic.
• React– Understanding & hands on component-driven front-end applications.
• Cloud – Microsoft Azure– working knowledge of Azure services (App Services, Azure SQL, Storage, Service Bus, or equivalent).
• Databases– proficiency withSQL Serverand/orPostgreSQL; experience with schema design, query optimization, and performance tuning.
• RESTful API design– building and consuming well-structured, versioned APIs.
• Solid understanding ofAgile / Scrumpractices and the full software development lifecycle.
• Containers– hands‑on experience withDocker; familiarity with container orchestration concepts.
• Demonstrated use ofAI-assisted development tools(GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or similar) as part of everyday engineering workflow.

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions).
• Familiarity with Kubernetes or Azure Container Apps.
• Exposure to event‑driven architecture or message brokers (e.g., Azure Service Bus, Kafka)

What We're Looking For in You

• You take ownership — you don't wait for perfect requirements before making progress.
• You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• You care about the quality of your work, not just getting it done.
• You're comfortable with ambiguity and know when to escape vs. self-solve.
• You're genuinely curious about emerging tools and technologies, including AI, and look for ways to apply them practically.
