About Puck 

Puck Enterprises started with a family, a few acres in Manning, Iowa, and a habit of building better tools than the ones on the market. Since then we've grown into a family of manufacturing brands serving agriculture, oil and gas, fire, and industrial markets — engineering equipment that's used hard, in the field, every day. We're Built to Lead, and that shows up in how we build products and how we build careers: we invest in people, push for continuous improvement, and don't cut corners.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Cloud Platforms to lead the design, development, and operation of distributed systems and cloud-native services using C#, .NET, and Microsoft Azure. This is a senior individual contributor role — you'll own architecture and technical direction for production systems at enterprise scale, stay hands-on with code and operations, and help set the bar for engineering practice across the team.

What You'll Do 

• Lead the design, implementation, and long-term evolution of backend services, APIs, and distributed application components using C# and .NET
• Own technical design for complex systems — service boundaries, data flow, resiliency patterns, fault tolerance, scalability, and performance
• Architect and deliver cloud solutions in Microsoft Azure, using platform services, messaging, storage, identity, monitoring, and automation appropriate for enterprise-scale systems
• Drive engineering quality through code reviews, design reviews, technical standards, and testing strategy
• Partner with product, program, QA, and engineering peers to turn business requirements into robust technical solutions
• Lead root-cause analysis on complex production issues across application, infrastructure, and data layers
• Improve reliability and operational maturity through observability, alerting, automation, and incident response
• Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines, release processes, and developer workflows
• Mentor engineers through technical guidance and design feedback, helping raise the engineering bar across the team
• Contribute to technical roadmaps, platform modernization efforts, and long-term architectural decisions

What You Bring 

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical field — or equivalent practical experience
• 6 years of professional experience building and operating production-grade systems
• Deep proficiency in C# and the .NET ecosystem, including modern application architecture, asynchronous programming, dependency injection, and service-oriented design
• Strong hands-on experience designing, building, deploying, and supporting applications or services in Microsoft Azure
• Demonstrated experience designing scalable REST APIs, service integrations, and distributed systems with attention to reliability, security, and maintainability
• Strong understanding of relational databases, SQL, data modeling, query optimization, and ORM frameworks such as Entity Framework or Entity Framework Core
• Experience with CI/CD, source control, automated testing, and modern DevOps practices
• Comfort using AI-assisted development tools to improve design, coding, testing, and documentation without sacrificing code quality or judgment
• Experience leading technical design discussions and making architectural tradeoff decisions across multiple services
• Strong debugging, performance tuning, and production support skills across application and cloud environments
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across engineering and non-engineering stakeholders

Nice to Have

• Experience with ASP.NET Core, microservices, event-driven systems, background processing, and enterprise integration patterns
• Hands-on experience with Azure services such as App Service, Functions, Azure SQL, Service Bus, Storage Accounts, Key Vault, Application Insights, Monitor, and Entra ID
• Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes
• Experience with infrastructure as code, environment automation, configuration management, and secure deployment practices
• Strong understanding of observability, distributed tracing, caching, messaging patterns, and performance engineering
• Experience modernizing legacy applications or migrating workloads to cloud-native architectures
• A track record of mentoring engineers and shaping coding standards across teams
• Microsoft Azure certifications or equivalent cloud architecture experience

Why Puck 

• Competitive pay and benefits, including health, dental and vision
• 401(k) with company match 
• Paid time off and holidays 
• A family-owned company where your work directly shapes machines used in the field - not just a slide deck.
