Hybrid Work

Holthouse currently offers a hybrid work model that allows eligible employees to work both remotely and in the office, based on business needs and team coordination. When working remotely, employees are expected to meet the same performance standards, adhere to the same policies, and maintain the same level of communication, collaboration, and responsiveness as working in the office. Please note that this arrangement is not guaranteed and subject to change at any time. We will strive to provide reasonable notice of any changes to your work location or schedule whenever possible.

About the Role

We are building a new Azure cloud platform to support a multi-year modernization program. This role will lead application engineering on the program, architecting and coding new solutions while modernizing legacy applications onto the platform.

You will set the technical direction, establish reusable patterns, and raise the engineering bar as the team grows. Our largest application footprint is C#/.NET on Azure, but the role requires sound judgment across modern cloud languages and frameworks.

You will partner with the Azure Cloud Engineer and the firm's IT, security, and network teams. The platform team owns the landing zone, guardrails, and infrastructure; you will build and modernize applications on that paved path and turn shared standards into working code, patterns, and documentation. 

Tools and Stack You'll Work In

Various Azure services including Azure App Service and Container Apps, Key Vault, Service Bus, Azure Monitor/Application Insights, managed identity, Azure SQL, C# .NET Core, plus other modern cloud languages as workloads require.

The existing environment includes older .NET Framework, WCF, and SQL workloads that will be modernized to cloud-native services. Infrastructure is provisioned by the platform team in Terraform; this role consumes, rather than authors, that infrastructure.
