Software Engineers perform development work across the technology stack (both front-end/back-end expertise). They are versatile in how they can add value, demonstrating the ability to manage the completion of projects that involve databases, backend services, or the development of front-end applications. They should be able to demonstrate a strong understanding of emerging technologies to support the development of new solutions. Software Engineers understand the full technology stack and underlying applications, services, and databases in order to ensure optimal performance.

Costco is looking for a dedicated and experienced C#, ASP.Net developer to design, develop, maintain, extend applications, and implement projects in accordance with the Costco development and project management methodologies and practices.
