Dotnet Developer/Microervices/Architecture,

Seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior .NET Developer to join our team, working closely with Red Hat and customer teams. This role is pivotal in designing, developing, and, crucially, mentoring others in the adoption of modern Cloud Native Development practices. If you're passionate about pairing, fostering technical growth, and building robust microservices-based solutions with .NET and Podman, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design, development, and implementation of high-quality, scalable, and secure microservices using C# and the .NET (Core) ecosystem.

• Drive the adoption and implementation of Continuous Delivery (CD) pipelines, ensuring efficient and reliable software releases for microservices.

• Highly skilled in Test-Driven Development (TDD) practices, writing comprehensive unit, integration, and end-to-end tests to ensure code quality and maintainability within a microservices architecture.

• Design, develop, and deploy .NET microservices within containers, leveraging inner loop practices

• Utilize Podman/Docker Compose (or similar multi-container tooling compatible with Podman) for local development environments and multi-service microservices application setups.

• Implement robust API Testing strategies, including automated tests for RESTful APIs across microservices.

• Integrate and utilize Observability tools and practices (e.g., logging, metrics, tracing) to monitor application health, performance, and troubleshoot issues effectively in a containerized microservices environment.

• Collaborate closely with product owners, architects, and other developers to translate business requirements into technical solutions, specifically focusing on microservices design.

• Play a key mentoring role, actively participating in pairing sessions, providing technical guidance, and fostering the development of junior and mid-level engineers in microservices development.

• Contribute to code reviews with an eye for quality, maintainability, and knowledge transfer within a microservices context.

• Actively participate in architectural discussions and contribute to technical decision-making, particularly concerning microservices design patterns, containerization strategies with Podman, and overall system architecture.

• Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and industry best practices in .NET, microservices, and containerization, advocating for their adoption where appropriate.

• Troubleshoot and debug complex issues across various environments, including Podman containers and distributed microservices.

Required Skills and Experience

• 7+ years of professional experience in software development with a strong focus on the Microsoft .NET (Core) ecosystem (ideally .NET 6+ or .NET 8+).

• Expertise in C# and building modern applications with .NET Core.

• Demonstrable experience designing, developing, and deploying Microservices Architecture.

• Demonstrable experience with Continuous Delivery (CD) principles and tools (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins).

• Proven track record of applying Test-Driven Development (TDD) methodologies.

• Strong practical experience with Podman, including building and running .NET applications in Podman containers, and an understanding of its daemonless/rootless architecture benefits.

• Proficiency in using Podman Compose (or similar approaches) for managing multi-container .NET applications locally.

• Extensive experience with API Testing frameworks and strategies (e.g., Postman, Newman, SpecFlow, Playwright, XUnit/NUnit for integration tests).

• Deep understanding and practical experience with Observability principles and tools (e.g., Application Insights, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK Stack, Splunk).

• Solid understanding of RESTful API design and development.

• Experience with relational databases (e.g., SQL Server, PostgreSQL) and ORMs (e.g., Entity Framework Core).

• Excellent mentorship and communication skills, with a passion for knowledge sharing and team development.

• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.

• • Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
