- Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code that meets product requirements and aligns with team standards.
- Apply and reinforce SOLID design principles in code, architecture, and reviews, providing guidance and mentorship when deviations occur.
- Approach complex problems with a SOLID-first mindset to ensure solutions remain modular, testable, and adaptable over time.
- Stay current with evolving technologies, frameworks, and industry standards, applying them pragmatically to improve quality and efficiency.
- Contribute to architecture and system design discussions, making sound technical decisions around API contracts, service boundaries, event-driven patterns, and AWS integrations.
- Break down complex technical challenges into manageable parts and deliver high-quality solutions with minimal supervision.
- Review code contributions from team members, offering constructive feedback and promoting consistent engineering practices.
- Lead and facilitate team discussions with professionalism and pragmatism, advocating for optimal technical and business outcomes.
- Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, QA, and other stakeholders to ensure solutions meet both user and business objectives.
- Design, build, and maintain applications built for Docker container deployment across all environments, from local development to production deployment in AWS.
- Define and manage AWS infrastructure as code.
- Design and implement APIs, Cron applications, and Queue consumers making use of an eventing system to support scalable and decoupled systems.
- Work with relational and non-relational databases to design efficient schemas and optimize performance.
- Troubleshoot production issues and advocate for system reliability, observability, and continuous improvement.
- Provide technical mentorship and guidance to other developers, helping them navigate challenges and grow their expertise.
- Participate in the team’s on-call rotation and assist in incident response when necessary.
- Contribute to improving team workflows, development practices, and performance through active participation and feedback.
- Identify and advocate for the resolution of long-term technical debt to improve quality, scalability, and maintainability.
- Demonstrate a commitment to continuous learning, professional growth, and the pragmatic application of modern engineering practices.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
- Deep fluency in SOLID design principles demonstrated through design decisions, code reviews, and mentorship.
- Strong expertise in C# .NET Core.
- Proven ability to design and implement AWS infrastructure solutions and contribute meaningfully to technical discussions.
- Expertise in Docker, including creating, building, debugging, and managing containers across multiple environments.
- Proficiency with infrastructure applied in AWS.
- Proficiency in both relational and non-relational databases.
- Strong understanding of software design principles, system architecture, and the software development lifecycle.
- Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and analytical skills.
- Strong written and verbal communication abilities.
- Experience mentoring junior developers and influencing technical direction.
- Familiarity with CI/CD tools and the maintenance of reliable build and deployment pipelines.
