  • Execute technical spikes and proof-of-concepts (POCs) to validate architectural decisions and design approaches.
  • Conduct thorough code reviews and provide constructive, actionable feedback.
  • Serve as a sounding board for cross-functional discussions, particularly on how backend decisions impact mobile and frontend implementations.
  • Collaborate with product managers, architects, UX designers, and other stakeholders to define and implement software functionality, architecture, and system design.
  • Drive the adoption of security best practices and mentor team members in secure coding techniques.

Required Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience in software development, including 4+ years working on commercial software products.
  • Expert-level proficiency in .NET (C#) and strong competency in React (TypeScript), with deep understanding of OOP principles and design patterns.
  • Experience with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL) and ORM frameworks such as Entity Framework Core.
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI/CD) and DevOps practices.
  • Familiarity with microservices architecture and containerization tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Working knowledge of cloud platforms (e.g., AWS).
  • Strong foundation in software architecture and system design, including concepts from Domain-Driven Design and Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture.
  • Strong leadership and mentorship skills, with the ability to guide a team while remaining hands-on, promote high-quality coding practices, and support unit testing and TDD implementation.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a complex, high-volume product environment.
  • Proficiency in developing and consuming RESTful APIs.
