As a Lead .NET Software Developer on our Core Platform team with a focus on performance, you'll architect, build, and optimize both backend services and front-end experiences. Your primary domain will be the .NET API layer (including Oracle-based data access) and containerized applications, with a strong emphasis on application performance, scalability, and observability. You'll collaborate closely with UI engineers, DevOps, and product owners to deliver high-throughput solutions that power our AI-driven decision analytics.

Key Responsibilities

• Backend Development: Design and implement high-performance .NET microservices, ensuring maintainability and security, and enabling future integration with AI-enhanced optimization techniques.

• Containerized Architecture: Build and deploy services in containers (Docker, AKS), defining healthy resource and scaling configurations.

• Performance Optimization: Profile and tune containerized applications at every layer – especially Oracle database queries (indexes, execution plans, connection pools), API endpoints, caching, threading – then instrument observability to proactive monitor for future performance bottlenecks.

• Full-Stack Collaboration: Partner with Angular front-end teams to define APIs, optimize payloads, and improve end-user responsiveness.

• DevOps & CI/CD: Extend CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps) to include build, test, performance benchmarking, and container scans.

• Monitoring & Observability: Implement logging, metrics, and distributed tracing (Application Insights, Azure Monitor, Prometheus/Grafana) to diagnose issues, while enabling predictive alerting and root-cause analysis using AI automated workflows.

What You'll Learn & Contribute

• Master end-to-end performance tuning: .NET runtime internals, SQL database indexing & execution-plan optimization, garbage-collection strategies, and CDN delivery.

• Deepen expertise in container orchestration and cloud-native best practices on Azure.

• Drive full-stack architecture decisions that balance speed, reliability, and developer productivity.

• Shape our platform's roadmap by translating performance telemetry into actionable backlog items.

• Work in an Agile/Scrum environment, leveraging AI-powered tools to accelerate testing and code reviews.

• Learn how to harness performance telemetry and system logs to drive AI-based recommendations and operational insights

You have the following background, although we also recognize that talent comes in many forms:

• 5+ years of professional software development experience, with 3+ years focused on backend services using C#/.NET.

• Strong understanding of relational databases – especially SQL performance (bonus points for specific Oracle experience), indexing, and connection-pool tuning – as well as containerization (Docker) and orchestration (AKS).

• Proven track record optimizing application performance—profiling tools, caching strategies, concurrency, and load testing.

• Fluent in the use of modern AI tooling, such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor, and AI-enhanced IDEs, to accelerate coding, testing, refactoring, and documentation workflow.

• Experienced in CI/CD pipelines, automated testing (unit, integration, load), and infrastructure-as-code.

• Actively follows developments in the AI ecosystem, with a mindset of continuous learning and experimentation to apply the latest advancements in productivity, performance, and code quality.

• Excellent communicator, proactive problem solver, and team player who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative setting.

We look forward to seeing how you'll accelerate and elevate our AI-powered enterprise platform!
