Responsibilities:

• Architect and develop across both front-end (React) and back-end (C#) codebases. 

• Ensure code quality, maintainability, and scalability through code reviews and best practices. 

• Oversee and manage the code merging process, ensuring seamless integration and minimizing conflicts.

• Be a key part of our collaborative Agile & DevOps Culture, where everyone is open to sharing ideas while working towards a set of common goals. 

• Treat Agile Stories as placeholders for conversations; and work closely with technical and business users on the details. 

• Own the solutions you produce from inception to production release. 

• Monitor system health and debug issues as they arrive.

Qualifications:

• At least 10 years of work experience in building .NET based web APIs using C# and experience with modern front-end frameworks such as Angular, React or Vue. 

• Strong programming fundamentals including Domain Driven Design (DDD) SOLID principles and design patterns.
