About the Opportunity
We are looking for an accomplished Senior .NET Web API Developer who combines strong backend engineering expertise with modern AI-assisted software development practices.
This role is ideal for hands-on engineers who can design, develop, and maintain scalable, secure, enterprise-grade backend systems while effectively using AI development tools such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude/Claude Code, or ChatGPT.
We are seeking developers who understand both the power and responsibility of AI-assisted engineering — using AI to accelerate development while maintaining code quality, security, architectural integrity, and production reliability.
Key Responsibilities
Backend Development & API Engineering
- Design, develop, and maintain scalable RESTful APIs and microservices using C#, .NET Core, .NET 6/8+, and ASP.NET Core Web API.
- Develop secure, high-performance backend services for enterprise applications.
- Apply SOLID principles, Clean/Onion Architecture, design patterns, and CQRS.
AI-Assisted Development
- Use at least one modern AI development tool such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude/Claude Code, or ChatGPT in practical software engineering workflows.
- Leverage AI for code generation, refactoring, debugging, unit testing, documentation, and code reviews.
- Validate AI-generated code for correctness, security, performance, and maintainability.
- Apply effective prompt engineering and context-management practices.
Database Engineering & Integration
- Design and optimise database schemas, queries, and indexing strategies.
- Work with SQL Server or PostgreSQL using Entity Framework Core and Dapper.
- Build secure API integrations using OAuth2, OpenID Connect, JWT, and API security best practices.
Testing, DevOps & Cloud
- Implement unit and integration testing using xUnit, NUnit, Moq, or equivalent frameworks.
- Work with Git, Docker, and automated CI/CD pipelines.
- Support deployments using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, and Azure or AWS.
- Implement asynchronous messaging using RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus, Kafka, or similar technologies.
- Troubleshoot complex production issues and improve application reliability.
Technical Leadership
- Participate in architecture discussions, technical reviews, and solution design.
- Mentor junior developers and promote effective AI-assisted development practices.
- Collaborate with engineering, QA, DevOps, and cross-functional teams.
Mandatory Technical Requirements
- 6–9 years of professional software development experience, primarily in C#/.NET backend engineering.
- Strong hands-on expertise in C#, ASP.NET Core Web API, and .NET Core / .NET 6/8+.
- Experience developing enterprise-grade REST APIs and microservices.
- Practical experience using at least one AI development tool: Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude/Claude Code, or ChatGPT.
- Strong SQL Server or PostgreSQL skills, including query optimisation and indexing.
- Experience with Entity Framework Core or Dapper.
- Understanding of SOLID principles, clean architecture, and enterprise design patterns.
- Experience with JWT, OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and API security.
- Hands-on experience with Docker, Git, automated testing, and CI/CD.
- Knowledge of asynchronous messaging and distributed systems.
- Strong debugging, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Preferred Technical Skills
- .NET 8+, CQRS, MediatR, and Clean/Onion Architecture.
- Advanced AI coding agents and context engineering.
- Kubernetes and Azure/AWS cloud deployment.
- RabbitMQ, Kafka, or Azure Service Bus.
- Experience mentoring developers and reviewing enterprise code.
What We Value
We value engineers who demonstrate strong technical ownership, analytical thinking, clean coding practices, and a commitment to building reliable enterprise systems.
This is a hands-on backend engineering role. Candidates should be comfortable independently developing production-grade APIs and demonstrating how AI development tools have improved their software engineering workflows.
