• Guide and collaborate with team members on complex development tasks, code reviews, and problem-solving.
• Promote and establish software design principles such as SOLID, DRY, and separation of concerns.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

• Collaborate closely with backend engineers, UI/UX designers, and product managers to ensure seamless integration between client-side and server-side systems.
• Work with QA teams to ensure that code quality and performance meet industry standards and user expectations.
• Lead and participate in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospective meetings.

Technology Evaluation & Implementation:

• Evaluate and recommend new technologies, frameworks, and tools to improve development efficiency, system performance, and scalability.
• Drive the adoption of modern software development practices, including CI/CD pipelines, version control systems, and automated testing frameworks.
• Champion the use of .NET Core, C#, JavaScript, etc. to build robust and performant applications.

Performance & Scalability:

• Ensure that the applications are optimized for high performance, responsiveness, and scalability.
• Identify and resolve bottlenecks in the system architecture and codebase to enhance system performance.
• Implement caching strategies, load balancing, and other performance optimization techniques.

Quality & Security:

• Maintain high code quality by implementing code reviews, unit testing, and ensuring security best practices.
• Ensure the application complies with security, privacy, and regulatory standards.
• Continuously monitor and improve software development processes, tooling, and practices.

Client Engagement & Technical Support:

• Interact with clients and stakeholders to understand their technical needs and provide solutions that align with their goals.
• Provide technical support during the deployment and maintenance phases of the project lifecycle.
• Address complex client-side issues and provide solutions to ensure client satisfaction.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering with 15 years of experience in C#, C , and Microsoft .NET stack (including .NET Core, WCF, WPF and ASP.NET).
• 5 years of experience in a software architect or lead role with a focus on client-side applications and integration.
• Strong experience with client-server architecture, RESTful APIs, JavaScript, and web technologies (HTML, CSS, front-end frameworks such as React, Angular, or ).
• Significant experience with industrial device integration, including the integration of cameras, scanners, printers, PLCs, sensors, IoT devices, and other industrial hardware using protocols like OPC, Modbus, MQTT, and other industry-standard communication protocols.
• Expertise in modern software development methodologies and design patterns (e.g., TFVC, MVC, MVVM, SOLID, etc.).
• Deep understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP) and principles of software design.
• Experience with performance optimization and scalability best practices.
• Strong knowledge of version control (e.g., Git), CI/CD practices, and automated testing frameworks.
• Familiarity with cloud services and infrastructure (Azure, AWS, etc.) and how they relate to client applications.
• Experience with frontend frameworks (e.g., Angular, React, Electron, etc.) for client-side development.
• Proficiency with C for performance-critical applications, such as those requiring low-level system interactions.
• Familiarity with industrial automation systems and IoT solutions.
• Knowledge of Agile development methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and experience with project management tools (JIRA, TFVC, Azure DevOps).
• Familiarity with DevOps practices and tools, such as automated build pipelines and infrastructure as code.
