Additional points to consider:

Following discussion with the client, a few important clarifications on the requirement and the expectations beyond the JD:

Candidate Expectations – Beyond Technical Skills

While the primary requirement is .NET development with Power BI / analytics exposure, the client is specifically looking for a senior, hands-on developer with strong stakeholder management capabilities.

Key expectations:

• Experience: Preferably 8+ years of experience with strong exposure to complex development assignments.
• Technical Expertise: Strong hands-on .NET development capabilities, along with Power BI / analytics exposure.
• Stakeholder Management: Experience working directly with business stakeholders / end users, preferably across global teams and geographies, particularly EMEA.
• Communication: Excellent verbal communication and conversational skills. The candidate should be comfortable navigating different accents and engaging with stakeholders across regions such as Romania and Kazakhstan.
• Requirement Gathering: Ability to independently interact with business users, clarify requirements, understand user stories, and drive discussions without relying on an intermediary process partner.
• Ownership & Accountability: Ability to manage deliverables, keep stakeholders informed, support business testing / UAT, and take end-to-end ownership.
• Mentoring: Should be capable of guiding and mentoring other developers within the team and helping resolve technical queries.

The key takeaway: We are not looking for a purely backend developer or someone who is only technically strong. The client expects a hands-on senior developer who can independently manage business interactions, demonstrate ownership, and mentor the team.

Timings update:

The selected candidate needs to work with the EAME region so the work timings will be 11 AM to 8 PM.
