You'll work directly with customers to understand their challenges, design scalable solutions, write production-quality C#/.NET code, and guide secure deployments through successful operation.\nEnterprises need to discover, classify, protect, and govern growing volumes of unstructured content before they can confidently activate that information for AI. DryvIQ helps organizations manage these challenges across cloud and on-premises repositories.\nWe're looking for an experienced engineer who combines deep software development expertise with sound architectural judgment, customer consulting skills, and the ability to influence technical outcomes across multiple engagements.\nThis is a hands-on engineering and customer-delivery role, not a pre-sales-only or purely advisory position.\nYour Scope and Impact\nYou will establish technical direction for complex, high-impact customer solutions while developing reusable engineering approaches that improve delivery across engagements.\nYou'll independently navigate difficult architecture decisions, guide senior technical contributors, resolve critical implementation challenges, and influence product improvements through insights gained from customer environments.\nYour success will be measured through production outcomes, customer confidence, engineering quality, and the broader impact of the solutions and standards you establish.\nWhat You'll Do\nLead technical architecture and implementation across complex enterprise customer engagements, from discovery through validation, and production handoff.\n\nFacilitate customer workshops with IT, security, and business stakeholders; translate requirements into scalable solution designs, implementation plans, and acceptance criteria.\n\nDesign, develop, test, and troubleshoot C#/.NET integrations, REST APIs, services, and supported workflows across Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes environments.\n\nEstablish reusable integration, testing, security, and troubleshooting patterns that improve reliability and delivery consistency.\n\nGuide complex technical decisions involving supported configuration, customization, integrations, platform limitations, and long-term maintainability.\n\nArchitect and optimize solutions for enterprise content discovery, classification, lifecycle management, governance, migration, and policy-driven automation.\n\nLead resolution of critical issues involving connectors, authentication, permissions, distributed processing, performance, and environments.\n\nEstablish validation approaches for content classification, including representative sampling, precision and recall, false-positive and false-negative analysis, and business-owner review.\n\nPartner with Professional Services, Project Management, Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to assess delivery risks, guide technical estimates, and identify product improvements.\n\nMentor engineers, review complex designs and code, and share technical knowledge that raises delivery standards across teams.\n\nDevelop and promote responsible AI-assisted workflows for engineering, testing, troubleshooting, and technical analysis, with appropriate security controls and human validation.\n\nExpected Outcomes and Impact\nSuccessful, secure, and supportable production environments that meet agreed customer acceptance criteria.\n\nReduced implementation complexity and faster resolution of recurring technical issues.\n\nReusable engineering assets that improve delivery consistency and shorten time to customer value.\n\nImproved solution reliability, classification quality, and production readiness.\n\nStronger alignment between customer implementation needs and Nasuni's product capabilities.\n\nWhat You'll Bring\nMust-Have Qualifications\nDeep hands-on C#/.NET engineering experience, including modern .NET (.NET 8 or later), REST API development, integration design, and production troubleshooting.\n\nDemonstrated technical ownership of complex enterprise software implementations, including architecture, coding, testing, and operational support.\n\nProduction experience with Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes or comparable container orchestration environments.\n\nAbility to make and explain architectural tradeoffs involving scalability, security, performance, reliability, and maintainability.\n\nExperience resolving complex integration or production issues across multiple systems and stakeholders.\n\nStrong customer-facing technical communication, documentation, problem-solving, and collaborative leadership skills.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with enterprise content management, information governance, content classification, or large-scale data migration.\n\nFamiliarity with Microsoft 365, SharePoint, OneDrive, Purview, or other enterprise content repositories.\n\nExperience with hybrid cloud architectures, distributed workloads, and large-scale file processing.\n\nPowerShell or Python automation experience.\n\nPractical use of AI-assisted engineering tools with clear methods for validating generated code, analysis, and recommendations.\n\nIdeal Candidate Differentiators\nHas established reusable technical architectures or engineering standards across multiple customer implementations.\n\nDemonstrates measurable improvements in deployment reliability, customer outcomes, or implementation efficiency.\n\nHas influenced engineering or product priorities through recurring enterprise customer challenges.\n\nBuilds the capabilities of other engineers while remaining an effective hands-on contributor.\n\nHas developed repeatable, responsibly governed AI-assisted engineering workflows.\n\nExperience Guidelines\nTypically 9-12 years of relevant software engineering, enterprise implementation, or technical consulting experience, including substantial hands-on customer-facing delivery and demonstrated technical leadership across complex engagements.\nEquivalent experience demonstrating comparable ownership, technical depth, and results is welcome. Prior DryvIQ experience is not required.\nAI at Nasuni\nAI is used to improve efficiency, decision-making, and engineering outcomes across Nasuni. In this position, you'll apply AI-assisted development, analysis, testing, and automation where they add value, while ensuring that outputs meet security, correctness, quality, and maintainability standards.\nWe value engineers who use AI with context, sound judgment, validation, and accountability.\nLocation and Working Model\nThis position is remote within India, with a preference for candidates based near Hyderabad.\nRegular collaboration with global teams and US customers during US Eastern business hours is required. Local working hours vary with US daylight saving time. Periodic customer-site travel to the United States is expected.\nAbout Nasuni\nNasuni is the unstructured data foundation for enterprise teams-and the AI that supports them.
