What you’ll do
Own tickets end-to-end: Analyze issues, review relevant code, collaborate with business stakeholders for clarity, implement fixes, and deploy to production independently.
Develop and optimize backend business logic using C# and .NET 4.8, with a focus on secure, maintainable code.
Write, debug, and fine-tune complex T-SQL queries, stored procedures, and database schemas in SQL Server to support critical application features.
Build and maintain APIs and backend service layers that reliably support the frontend team and downstream services.
Participate actively in agile ceremonies (sprint planning, standups, retrospectives), work collaboratively with Business Analysts on user stories, and contribute to technical planning sessions.
Engage in code reviews and technical discussions, sharing knowledge with teammates and learning from peers.
Deploy features through our CI/CD pipeline, ensuring quality and reliability at every stage.
What you bring
5+ years of hands-on backend development experience at an intermediate level or strong track record of proven technical growth. We value demonstrated ability to code and communicate over raw years of experience.
Strong expertise in C# and deep familiarity with the .NET 4.8 ecosystem. You write production-quality code regularly and understand the framework deeply.
Advanced relational database skills with hands-on experience writing and optimizing T-SQL queries. SQL Server is preferred; Oracle experience is equally valued and transferable.
Experience building and maintaining APIs and backend service layers in a production environment.
Solid understanding of Object-Oriented Programming principles, design patterns, and best practices for maintainable code.
Strong communication skills: You can explain technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders, work collaboratively with Business Analysts, and articulate your approach to problem-solving clearly. We value a developer with great communication over one who is technically brilliant but isolated.
Resourcefulness and initiative: You take ownership of tickets, analyze root causes independently, ask probing questions, and push solutions forward without constant oversight. You're comfortable learning independently and asking for help when needed.
Nice to Have
