Job Title: Mid-Level. NET Developer (Backend / Distributed Systems) Overview We are seeking a mid-level. NET Developer to join a backend-focused engineering team building and enhancing distributed services in AWS. This role is heavily backend and API-driven, with a strong emphasis on asynchronous processing, system-to-system integration, and resilient service design. The engineer will work on both net-new services and enhancements to existing systems, collaborating closely with product owners and other engineering teams. Key Responsibilities - Design, build, and enhance backend services using. NET and C# - Develop RESTful APIs and backend components that operate within distributed systems - Build and maintain asynchronous processing workflows using messaging patterns - Upgrade and modernize existing. NET applications (e. G.. NET 8 to. NET 10) - Implement system-to-system integrations, including external-facing services - Consume and process messages from event-driven sources, handling retries and failure scenarios - Participate in unit and integration testing as part of CI/CD pipelines - Deploy services to Kubernetes environments in AWS - Collaborate with product owners, engineers, and cross-functional teams in a ticket-driven environment - Contribute to design discussions with a system-wide, not just code-level, mindset Technical Requirements - Strong proficiency with C# and modern. NET development - Experience building backend services and RESTful APIs - Solid understanding of distributed systems and asynchronous processing - Hands-on experience with event-driven architectures (pub/sub, messaging systems) - Experience working in AWS environments - Familiarity with Kubernetes-based deployments (e. G. EKS) - Experience using relational databases (e. G. AWS RDS) - Exposure to CI/CD pipelines, preferably Git Hub Actions - Experience with unit testing and integration testing in. NET applications Preferred / Nice to Have - Experience with AWS messaging services such as SNS and SQS - Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform - Experience deploying applications via Git Hub Actions - Exposure to configuration management patterns (e. G. externalized config services) - Experience working alongside teams using different technology stacks (e. G. Clojure or functional programming environments) - Familiarity with authentication and service-to-service security (e. G. Okta) - Comfort using AI-assisted development tools such as Git Hub Copilot Work Environment & Team Culture - Backend-heavy role with minimal frontend expectations - Collaborative, low-micromanagement engineering culture - Engineers are expected to work independently but ask questions when needed - Ticket-driven work with varying levels of requirement detail - Strong emphasis on respectful cross-team collaboration - Encouragement of thoughtful technical pushback and design discussions - Regular pairing and open communication via Slack and ad-hoc calls - Focus on sustainable delivery rather than perfection under time constraints What Success Looks Like - Quickly ramping into existing systems and development patterns - Owning backend services end to end, from design through deployment - Demonstrating a strong systems mindset beyond individual features - Building reliable, maintainable services within a distributed architecture - Collaborating effectively across teams with different technical bac
