Collaborate with stakeholders to understand business needs and translate them into technical solutions.
Work with both SQL Server (MSSQL) and PostgreSQL databases, ensuring data integrity and performance tuning.
Integrate with and deploy to AWS cloud services, leveraging best practices in scalability, security, and reliability.
Use GitHub for version control and collaborative development workflows (PRs, code reviews).
Build, release, and deploy applications via TeamCity and Octopus Deploy.
Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code with appropriate unit or integration tests, in a test-driven manner where appropriate.
Maintaining and enhancing our monitoring and alerting systems to ensure rapid response to production incidents.
Provide ongoing support and troubleshooting for applications, ensuring minimal downtime and performance issues.

Essential Skills & Experience:
Strong experience with C# and.NET, including migration to modern .NET Core/.NET 6/8/10, and building systems such as web APIs and background services using technologies such as HTTP, JSON, XML and message brokers.

Familiarity with cloud-based development and deployment, ideally in AWS (EC2, RDS, Lambda, S3, etc.).
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated deployments using TeamCity and Octopus Deploy (or equivalent services).
Version control expertise with GitHub (branching strategies, pull requests, code reviews).
Ability to develop integration and unit tests with tools such as xUnit, and knowledge of when to use either type of test
Good understanding of software design principles (SOLID, clean architecture, layered design).
Proven ability to work with legacy systems and progressively modernize them.

Desirable Skills:
Knowledge of containerization (Docker, ECS, or Kubernetes in AWS).
Familiarity with microservices and event-driven architectures.
Experience with monitoring and logging solutions (e.g., CloudWatch, ELK stack, Grafana).
Exposure to Agile methodologies and DevOps practices.

Personal Qualities:
Comfortable working with both legacy and modern technologies.
Good written and verbal skills with the ability to clearly document and explain business processes and solution designs.
