You'll own services built on ASP.NET Core and modern frontends (React/Angular/Blazor), integrate LLM- and ML-powered capabilities (e.g., RAG search, intelligent assistants, document understanding), and productionize them with strong observability, CI/CD, and governance.
You'll collaborate with Product, Design, Data/ML, and Security to define solutions, ship iteratively, and measure impact.

In this role, you will:

• Lead moderately complex initiatives and deliverables within technical domain environments
• Contribute to large scale planning of strategies
• Design, code, test, debug, and document for projects and programs associated with technology domain, including upgrades and deployments
• Review moderately complex technical challenges that require an in-depth evaluation of technologies and procedures
• Resolve moderately complex issues and lead a team to meet existing client needs or potential new clients needs while leveraging solid understanding of the function, policies, procedures, or compliance requirements
• Collaborate and consult with peers, colleagues, and mid-level managers to resolve technical challenges and achieve goals
• Lead projects and act as an escalation point, provide guidance and direction to less experienced staff.
• Key Responsibilities-Product & Delivery
• Partner with product managers and UX to translate requirements into technical designs and working software.
• Own features across the stack: backend APIs, data models, UI, AI integrations, and DevOps automation.
• Ship in small, testable increments using trunk-based development or short-lived feature branches.
• Backend (.NET) Build ASP.NET Core REST/gRPC services, implement domain logic, and enforce clean architecture (DDD where helpful).
• Data access with EF Core, SQL Server (or PostgreSQL), and optional Cosmos DB optimize queries and caching (e.g., Redis).
• Implement background jobs (e.g., Hangfire, Azure Functions, Queues), resilient patterns (retries, circuit breakers), and secure auth (OpenID Connect/OAuth 2.0, Azure AD/Entra).
• Frontend-Develop responsive, accessible UIs with React (TypeScript), Angular, or Blazor.
• Integrate real-time interactions (SignalR/WebSockets), state management, and robust form/data handling.
• Implement UX for AI features (e.g., chat UI, citation panels, feedback loops, content safety prompts).
• AI/ML Integration
• Design and implement AI use cases such as:
• RAG (RetrievalAugmented Generation) with vector search (e.g., Azure AI Search, Qdrant, Pinecone, PostgreSQL pgvector).
• Document intelligence (ingestion, chunking, metadata extraction, OCR with Azure AI Document Intelligence/Form Recognizer or Tesseract).
• Chatbots/assistants using Azure OpenAI/OpenAI, Semantic Kernel, or LangChain for orchestration.
• Classification/extraction/summarization workflows with prompt engineering and evaluation.
• Containerize with Docker deploy to Azure App Service/AKS/Azure Functions (or equivalent cloud).
• CI/CD with Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions environment promotion, infra as code (Bicep/Terraform).
• Observability with Application Insights, distributed tracing, actionable dashboards, and SLOs.
• Quality, Security & Compliance-Write unit/integration tests (xUnit/NUnit), contract tests, and UI tests (Playwright/Cypress).
• Ensure secure coding (OWASP Top 10), secrets management (Key Vault), data privacy, and compliance (logging/retention, audit).
• Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and incident postmortems.

Required Qualifications:

• 4+ years of Software Engineering experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, education

• Hands-on with Azure (App Service/AKS/Functions, Storage, Key Vault, App Insights).
• AI integration experience:
• Consuming LLMs (Azure OpenAI/OpenAI), designing prompts, handling tool/function calling.
• Implementing RAG with vector stores and embeddings grounding & citations.
• Building evaluation & feedback loops for AI quality.
• Proficient with Git, CI/CD, containers, and modern testing practices.
• Solid grasp of security, performance tuning, and production troubleshooting.
• Tooling & Stack (Customize to your environment)
• Backend: .NET 8, ASP.NET Core, EF Core, xUnit
• Frontend: React + TypeScript (or Angular/Blazor), Vite/Webpack
• Data: SQL Server/PostgreSQL, Redis, Cosmos DB (optional)
• AI: Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search (or pgvector/Qdrant), Semantic Kernel/LangChain, Azure AI Document Intelligence
