Key Responsibilities :

1. Architecture & Design

• Having exposure on microservices built on latest .NET Core ecosystem, Clean Architecture, and DDD.

• Architect event-sourcing strategies with Marten and Apache Kafka, including topic design, consumer group topology, and schema registry governance.

• Having understanding on resilience patterns — retry, circuit breaker.

2. Development & Implementation

• Lead development of RESTful, GraphQL and gRPC APIs using ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs and controllers.

• Implement secure authentication and authorization flows with JWT, Azure Identity, and role-based access control.

• Having understanding on Build and maintain distributed messaging infrastructure using Mass Transit.

• Own background job infrastructure using Hang fire and Quartz.NET.

3. Data & Persistence

• Having exposure on data partitioning, indexing, and migration strategies for PostgreSQL and SQL Server via EF Core.

• Having exposure on Redis cache — distributed cache and session management.

4. Observability & Quality

• Establish OpenTelemetry instrumentation (traces, metrics, spans) exported to the organisation's observability stack.

• Having exposure for define structured logging standards.

• Build a testing culture: domain/application-layer unit tests with XUnit.

5. DevOps & Cloud

• Own Dockerisation and cloud-native deployment manifests; CI/CD pipeline standards.

Must-Have (Non-Negotiable)

• 7+ years of hands-on .NET development; minimum 4 years on .NET 6+ with proven progression toward .NET 8/10.

• Strong command of Clean Architecture and DDD — aggregates, value objects, domain events, bounded contexts.

• Solid EF Core skills: fluent configuration, migrations, performance tuning, multi-database support.

• JWT / OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect implementation in ASP.NET Core.

• MSSQL Server at production scale.

• Docker and container-first development; CI/CD awareness (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or equivalent).

• Proficiency in xUnit for unit and integration testing.

Strong Advantage

• Experience with Azure Identity, Managed Identity, and Azure Key Vault secret management.

Good-To-Have (Negotiable)

• Practical CQRS and event-sourcing experience.

• Production experience with Apache Kafka — topic design, consumer groups, offsets, exactly-once semantics.

• Experience with Mass Transit or a comparable messaging framework including saga/state machine patterns.

• Redis in a distributed caching.

• Hang fire or Quartz.NET for durable background job processing.

• Open Telemetry SDK instrumentation.

• Seri log with enrichers, structured sinks.

• Kubernetes basics — health probes, resource limits.

Soft Skills

• Ability to communicate trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Strong ownership mindset .

• Collaborative code-review culture; constructive and specific feedback.

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and decomposing large problems independently.

Education

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent demonstrable experience.
