Primary Skill: .NET, Web API, AI Development tools (Any one - Cursor, Git Hub Copilot, Anthropic Claude/ Claude Code, and ChatGPT)

Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior .NET Web API Developer with 6 to 9 years of hands-on experience designing, developing, and deploying resilient backend enterprise systems. This role is designed for a modern software engineer who blends traditional software engineering—distributed architecture, domain-driven design, clean code, and database optimization—with contemporary AI-assisted development practices. You will champion high-velocity, high-quality development using AI coding agents and copilots (e.g., Cursor, Git Hub Copilot, Claude Code) to accelerate prototyping, test coverage, code reviews, and API refactoring while rigorously safeguarding system security, architectural cohesion, and maintainability.

Key Responsibilities

- API & System Design: Architect, build, and maintain highly scalable, secure, and performant RESTful APIs and microservices using C#, .NET 8+ / .NET Core, and ASP.NET Core Web API.
- AI-Assisted Workflow Integration: Proactively leverage AI development tools (such as Cursor, Git Hub Copilot, Anthropic Claude / Claude Code, and ChatGPT) across the entire software delivery lifecycle—including contextual scaffolding, unit test generation, code refactoring, automated documentation, and debugging.
- AI Output Verification & Governance: Apply critical engineering judgment to review, validate, benchmark, and secure AI-generated code, ensuring full compliance with enterprise security, OWASP standards, and internal engineering best practices.
- Database & Data Layer Optimization: Design complex schemas, write performant queries, and tune performance using Entity Framework Core, Dapper, and relational databases (SQL Server, PostgreSQL).
- Architecture & Standards: Enforce SOLID principles, Clean/Onion Architecture, design patterns, and CQRS (e.g., MediatR) across core backend services.
- Testing & Quality Assurance:



Drive test-driven approaches by implementing unit, integration, and load tests using frameworks like xUnit, NUnit, Moq, and Postman.
- Dev Ops & Cloud Deployment: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate services into CI/CD pipelines (Git Hub Actions, Azure Dev Ops) and deploy containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes) to cloud environments (Azure or AWS).
- Mentorship & AI Evangelism: Mentor junior and mid-level developers on both core .NET engineering fundamentals and effective AI prompting/context-engineering techniques.

Required Technical Skills & Qualifications

- Core Backend Expertise: 6 to 9 years of professional software development experience primarily focused on C#, .NET Core / .NET 6/8+, and ASP.NET Core Web API.
- AI-Assisted Development Experience: Demonstrated, hands-on experience integrating modern AI developer tooling into daily engineering workflows:
- IDE agents & editors: Cursor, Git Hub Copilot / Copilot Workspace, VS Code AI extensions.
- Frontier models/agents: Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), or CLI agents (e.g., Claude Code) for system reasoning, refactoring, and complex troubleshooting.
- Context engineering & prompt design: Skill in structuring project-level rules (.cursorrules, Copilot instructions), repository indexing, and multi-file prompt orchestration.

- Database Engineering: Proven proficiency in SQL Server or PostgreSQL, query optimization, indexing strategies, and ORMs/micro-ORMs (EF Core, Dapper).
- Security & Authentication: Solid grasp of OAuth2, OpenID Connect, JWT, API Gateway patterns, rate limiting, and defensive coding against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities.
- Asynchronous & Distributed Messaging: Experience with asynchronous messaging patterns using tools such as RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus, or Apache Kafka.
- Containers & CI/CD: Practical experience with Docker containerization, Git workflows, and automated CI/CD pipelines.
- Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience.
