WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU
We keep it simple. Here is what a great day looks like in this role.
Write Good Code
Write code that is clean, readable, and easy for others to maintain — not just code that works. Follow the team's standards and patterns consistently.
Solve Problems
When you hit a problem, think through before asking for help. Come with what you've tried. When you do ask — ask good questions.
Work Independently
You can pick up a task, understand what is needed, and deliver it without needing constant handholding. You know when to escalate and when to push through.
Learn Continuously
You don't know everything and that's fine — but you are actively curious. You read, experiment, and get better at your craft over time.
Be a Team Player
Participate in code reviews honestly and respectfully. Share knowledge. Don't hoard context. Help the person next to you when you can.
Communicate Proactively
Don't sit stuck in silence. If you're blocked, say so. If something feels off, raise it. Good communication is as important as good code.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Develop and maintain backend features and REST APIs using .NET Framework / .NET Core.
- Build and enhance web application modules using ASP.NET MVC 4.8.
- Write, optimize, and debug SQL queries against SQL Server 2019.
- Integrate with Azure services including Blob Storage and Function Apps as required.
- Participating in code reviews — give clear feedback and act on feedback received.
- Write unit tests for your own code and maintain test coverage.
- Follow team coding standards, naming conventions, and architectural guidance from the tech lead.
- Document your code, APIs, and features clearly for other team members.
- Debug and resolve issues in existing systems systematically and efficiently.
- Raise blockers early and collaborate with seniors to work through complex problems.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Clean Code Habits
You write code as if the next person reading it is a senior developer who will judge your work — because they will.
Problem-Solving Mindset
You approach bugs and unclear requirements methodically. You break things down, form hypotheses, and test them.
Eagerness to Learn
You are not the finished product. You are actively growing, and you see every code review and every challenge as a chance to get better.
Team Collaboration
You work well with others, communicate your progress clearly, and understand that good software is a team sport.
QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
- 2–4 years of professional hands-on experience with .NET development.
- Ability to independently write and debug working backend code.
- Comfortable working in an agile team with daily standups, sprint cycles, and iterative delivery.
- Good written and verbal communication — able to clearly explain what you have built and why.
- A portfolio, GitHub profile, or examples of past work are a strong plus.
We are not looking for someone who knows everything.
We are looking for someone who writes clean code, thinks clearly, and wants to keep getting better. If that sounds like you — apply.
