About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Azure Application Developer / Senior .NET Engineer with strong experience in ASP.NET Web API and modern cloud practices on Microsoft Azure. You will design, build, and maintain scalable RESTful APIs and cloud-native services, contribute to application modernization, and collaborate closely with architects and engineering leads to implement well-structured solutions.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys coding, can make sound design decisions, and is ready to grow into broader solution/architecture ownership over time.

 

Key Responsibilities

API & Application Development

• Design, develop, and maintain RESTful APIs using ASP.NET Web API / .NET (Core/6+).
• Build reliable backend services that support web and mobile applications.
• Implement API versioning, error handling, logging, and API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI).

Azure Implementation (Hands-On)

• Develop and deploy services on Azure using components such as:
• Azure App Service, Azure Functions, API Management
• Service Bus / Event Grid (event-driven patterns)
• Azure SQL / Cosmos DB (as applicable)
• Key Vault for secrets management
• Contribute to modernization initiatives (e.g., migrating from on-prem/legacy to Azure).

Architecture & Engineering Practices (Mid-Level Scope)

• Collaborate with architects/tech leads to implement scalable, maintainable API/service designs.
• Apply best practices for microservices, integration patterns, and cloud design principles (security, reliability, performance).
• Participate in architecture/design reviews and propose improvements for service boundaries, resilience, and maintainability.

Security, Quality & Performance

• Implement authentication/authorization using OAuth2, JWT, and Azure identity patterns (Azure AD/Entra ID concepts).
• Ensure secure coding practices, encryption/data protection considerations, and compliance requirements as needed.
• Identify bottlenecks and improve performance (profiling, caching, query tuning, efficient serialization).

DevOps & CI/CD

• Work with CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.
• Support Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices using Bicep / Terraform / ARM (at least working familiarity; hands-on is a plus).
• Write unit/integration tests and support automated testing within the pipeline.

Collaboration & Support

• Participate in code reviews, support QA, and troubleshoot production issues using monitoring/logging tools.
• Work effectively with cross-functional teams: product owners, front-end engineers, QA, and cloud/infra teams.

 

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 5–7 years of experience in software development, with strong backend/API focus.
• 2+ years hands-on experience implementing solutions on Microsoft Azure.
• Strong proficiency in C#, .NET Core / .NET, and ASP.NET Web API.
• Experience designing and developing RESTful APIs (routing, versioning, serialization, Swagger/OpenAPI).
• Solid understanding of HTTP, client-server architecture, and web services concepts.
• Strong database skills with Microsoft SQL Server / Azure SQL (schema design, query optimization).
• API security experience: JWT, OAuth2, token-based authentication, role-based access concepts.
• Experience with Git and Agile development.
• Strong debugging, problem-solving, and communication skills.

 

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

• Experience with microservices and event-driven architecture using Service Bus/Event Grid.
• Familiarity with AKS (Kubernetes) and containers (Docker) (not mandatory).
• Experience with API Management, Logic Apps, or integration workflows.
• Familiarity with observability tools (Application Insights, logging/monitoring dashboards).
• Exposure to front-end frameworks (Angular/React/Vue) is a plus.
• Azure certifications (AZ-204, AZ-305, DevOps) are a plus.

 

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

• Deliver 1–2 production-ready APIs/services with strong standards (security, testing, documentation).
• Improve reliability/performance for an existing service (e.g., caching, query tuning, better telemetry).
• Contribute to CI/CD improvements and participate confidently in design discussions with architects/tech leads.
