  • Translate functional and non-functional requirements into robust, secure, and maintainable technical solutions in close collaboration with analysts and business stakeholders.
  • Design scalable system architectures that align with broader architectural guidelines while making pragmatic, application-level design decisions.
  • Prepare and maintain technical documentation for releases, including technical designs, deployment notes, and infrastructure-related deliverables.
  • Coordinate configuration and change requests with Infrastructure & Operations teams to ensure system stability and performance.
  • Review code and enforce quality standards through structured reviews, testing practices, and continuous improvement.
  • Evaluate new technologies and frameworks where relevant, ensuring they fit within architectural and operational constraints.
  • Lead the resolution of complex incidents and production issues, acting as the technical escalation point when needed.
  • Collaborate closely with the portfolio architect to ensure consistency with strategic architecture while retaining ownership of application-level technical decisions.

  • You are highly proficient in C# and .NET (.NET Core and modern .NET versions) and have extensive experience building ASP.NET Web APIs.
  • You have hands-on experience with authentication and authorization mechanisms, including JWT, OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and claims-based security.
  • You are comfortable working with Azure services, including messaging components such as Azure Service Bus, and understand cloud-native design considerations.
  • You have experience building user-facing components using Blazor or similar modern frontend technologies.
  • You apply proven design patterns, architectural principles, and coding best practices in your daily work.
  • You have solid experience with RESTful APIs, including proper API documentation using Swagger / OpenAPI.

  • You apply unit and integration testing consistently to ensure reliability and maintainability.
  • You are comfortable working with Git-based workflows and collaborating in structured DevOps environments.
