Job Description

Responsibilities

Conceive and design features that span our interconnected stack, including Azure Functions, dual Web APIs, an ASP.NET MVC web application, and a customer-facing React interface served by a .NET Backend-for-Frontend that consumes the same Web APIs.
Make AI tooling the primary implementation method, guiding AI-driven output while applying your deep architectural understanding to ensure solid results.
Shape cross-system integration decisions, defining API contracts, BFF aggregation logic, and the division of responsibilities among Azure Functions, Web APIs, and the MVC app.
Debug across the full stack by tracing issues from the React UI through the BFF, into the Web APIs, and down to SQL Server.
Review code with a focus on AI-generated or AI-augmented contributions, looking for subtle defects, architectural drift, or pattern violations.
Participate in architecture discussions and code reviews as a collaborative engineer among peers, rather than issuing directives.
Treat AI coding tools as a daily capability, integrating them into regular development practice.

Requirements

5+ years of professional .NET engineering experience with recent hands-on work.
Strong knowledge of C#, .NET Core or .NET 8+, ASP.NET MVC, Web APIs, and Razor, with the ability to write these components from scratch if needed.
Working familiarity with Entity Framework Core, including DbContext injection, LINQ, migrations, and performance best practices; able to explain DbContext registration and usage.
SQL Server proficiency for querying, indexing, execution plans, and identifying N plus 1 problems.
Experience with React for customer-facing applications.
Comfort with Azure Functions or comparable serverless patterns.
Architectural intuition across multiple related services, capable of identifying which projects require changes when evaluating a feature spec.
Experience with AI-augmented development and enthusiasm for making AI tooling a primary implementation method.
Ability to validate code with the same rigor as producing it, and to think through implementation end to end before drafting prompts.

This role may not be a fit if

You do not use AI development tools daily or prefer to write every line of code yourself
Your recent work has focused on management, strategy, or architecture without active implementation
You cannot comfortably review a 200-line .NET pull request and identify issues, as code reviews of AI-produced material are central
You are seeking a Staff or Principal architect role with focus on directing others rather than implementing features
You have not worked across multiple related .NET projects such as APIs, MVC apps, serverless functions, and BFFs
You are skeptical about AI-augmented development and its trajectory for professional engineering
