This is a senior-track role. You will bring 2+ years of professional .NET development experience, daily fluency with AI coding assistants, and enough consulting instinct to sit across from a client without a script.\nAt Sharp Hue, AI is not a side project. It is how we work. We are an AI-first software development firm with a people-centered design philosophy, serving growth-oriented small and mid-market businesses. You will own real engagements - building and shipping web applications, APIs, and cloud-native systems that businesses depend on every day.\nWhat You Will Do\nDesign and build custom web applications using .NET Core, C#, MVC, and Azure\nOwn features end-to-end - from client conversation to deployed code to production support\nUse AI tools (Claude, Cursor, or equivalent) as a daily accelerator for scaffolding, testing, documentation, and problem-solving\nParticipate in client-facing work: discovery sessions, technical walkthroughs, scope trade-offs, and status updates\nContribute to Sharp Hue's internal tools, skills library, and repeatable engineering patterns\nReview teammates' code and help raise the team's technical and AI-fluency bar\nTranslate business requirements into technical architecture and communicate trade-offs clearly to non-technical stakeholders\nWho Should Apply\nYou are an experienced developer who already does the work we are hiring for. The foundation of .NET, Azure, Git, and AI tools is something you bring with you. What we add is real client work, a consulting operating model, and a small team that moves fast and teaches generously where it counts.\nThis role is a strong fit if most of these describe you:\nYou have 2+ years of professional experience building production .NET applications (C#, .NET Core, MVC)\nYou are fluent with Azure - web apps, function apps, APIs, and supporting services\nYou have shipped code to production, debugged it under pressure, and owned its lifecycle\nYou use AI coding assistants daily - and you have a point of view on when to trust the output and when to verify it\nYou are comfortable in client conversations - explaining trade-offs, pushing back respectfully, and communicating progress without hand-holding\nYou work independently on complex problems and know when to ask for help\nYou write for humans - commit messages, documentation, and client emails that are clear, concise, and professional\nTechnical Requirements\nThe day-to-day relies on these, so you will want to be solid in:\nC# and .NET Core (multiple professional projects, not just coursework)\nASP.NET Core MVC pattern\nAzure Web Apps, Function Apps, and related cloud services\nAPI development and service integration\nAuth - Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA/2FA)\nSQL databases\nORMs and database migrations\nGit workflow: branches, pull requests, code review\nVisual Studio and Azure DevOps\nNice to have:\nFront-end fluency: HTML, CSS, JavaScript\nWordPress, PHP, MySQL exposure\nBroader Azure services experience (Storage, Service Bus, Application Insights, etc.)\nConsulting Skills Required\nSharp Hue is a consultancy. Every developer here is client-facing to some degree. You do not need to be a polished account executive, but you do need to:\nHold your own in a client meeting without a manager's coverage\nAsk good discovery questions and document what you hear\nScope work realistically and communicate when assumptions change\nExplain technical decisions to people who do not have your background\nFollow through on commitments - the most important consulting skill of all\nInterview Process\nOur interview process is designed to see how you actually work, not how you answer hypothetical questions.\nScreening conversation. A 30-minute call to review your background, logistics, and compensation fit.\nTechnical and AI fluency interview. A working session where we discuss architecture, walk through AI-assisted coding on a real problem, and evaluate how you think when you build.\nConsulting scenario. A client-style conversation where we evaluate how you communicate, scope, and navigate ambiguity.\nWhy Sharp Hue\nWe are consultants first and builders always. We listen attentively, make strategic trade-offs, and deliver results in weeks, not quarters. We see AI like energy you can borrow, then direct -- and our team uses it every day. You will work alongside senior practitioners who will give you real responsibility from day one and real feedback throughout.\nThis role rewards people who want to sharpen their craft, ship meaningful work, and grow faster than they would at a larger company. If that is the kind of work you are looking for, we would love to hear from you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5066,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T14:58:33Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.276,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":92,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":80000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sharphue-software-engineer-ii","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sharphue-software-engineer-ii.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T10:31:35Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":15581,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2859930},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2859930"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsharphue-software-engineer-ii"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsharphue-software-engineer-ii"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsharphue-software-engineer-ii"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/sharphue-software-engineer-ii\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsharphue-software-engineer-ii"}]}
