• Collaborate closely with customers, stakeholders, architects, and delivery teams to ensure successful project outcomes.

• Drive continuous improvement initiatives across development, deployment, and operational processes.

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for the application and its stakeholders.

Required Skills & Experience

• Extensive knowledge of C#, including advanced language features, design patterns, and software engineering best practices.

• Extensive expertise with the .NET platform (.NET and .NET Core) for enterprise-grade application development.

• Strong experience designing, implementing, and supporting Microsoft Azure solutions.

• Strong hands-on experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps.

• Practical experience developing modern web applications using Blazor.

• Solid knowledge of SQL Server, including database design, performance optimization, querying, and maintenance.

• Proven capability to provide technical leadership, guide architectural decisions, and mentor development teams.

• Strong understanding of software design principles, application architecture, and development best practices.

Preferred Skills

• Experience owning and supporting applications throughout their complete production lifecycle.

• Familiarity with automated testing frameworks and quality engineering practices.

• Knowledge of DevOps culture, processes, and continuous improvement methodologies.

• Experience coaching, mentoring, and developing engineering talent.

• Understanding of cloud-native architecture and modern software delivery practices.
