The Mission

We are looking for a Senior .NET Developer who can handle the complexity of a dual-stack environment. We operate with .NET Framework 4.8 for our core legacy systems while actively developing new solutions in .NET 10.

We need a developer who can "get into the thick of it." You won't just be writing new features; you will be analyzing legacy logic, refactoring architectural debt, and building the bridge to the future. If you are comfortable digging into a complex 4.8 monolith one day and architecting in Modern .NET the next, this is the role for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Modernization & Development: Design and build scalable, high-performance applications using .NET 10, Blazor, and C#.
• Legacy Maintenance & Migration: Maintain, optimize, and refactor existing enterprise applications running on .NET Framework 4.8. You will be key in strategizing how to move these features forward using patterns like the Strangler Fig.
• Database Architecture: Design and manage complex data structures in Microsoft SQL Server. You must be comfortable writing and tuning raw T-SQL and stored procedures—we deal with heavy data where ORMs aren't always enough.
• Complex Problem Solving: Troubleshoot issues that span across generations of code. We need someone who can trace a bug from a modern API back to a legacy backend and fix the root cause.
• Mentorship: Act as a technical anchor. Help the team adopt modern .NET features while respecting established business logic.

Technical Must-Haves

• The Full .NET Spectrum: Expert-level proficiency in C#. You must be comfortable working in both .NET Framework 4.8 (Web Forms/MVC) and Modern .NET (Blazor, Core, Minimal APIs).
• SQL Server Mastery: Advanced knowledge of T-SQL, stored procedures, and database design.
• Modern Web Tech: Experience with Blazor, RESTful APIs, HTML5, and modern JavaScript frameworks.
• Architecture: Understanding of Object-Oriented Principles, Dependency Injection, and patterns for modernizing legacy code.

Technical Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with SharePoint or ServiceNow development.
• Mobile development exposure (MAUI/Xamarin).
• DevOps experience (Azure Pipelines, GitHub Actions).

The Ideal Candidate

• You are a Pragmatist: You know when to refactor and when to rewrite. You understand that "new" isn't always better, but you know how to leverage modern .NET features to solve old problems efficiently.
• You Own It: You don't wait for a ticket to be fully groomed if something is broken. You jump in, figure it out, and fix it.
• You are a Bridge: You can translate "grocery business requirements" into technical specs, and you can help junior developers bridge the gap between old and new tech.
