.NET Architect

We are seeking a highly experienced .NET Architect with a proven track record of designing, developing, and implementing scalable, high-performance, and secure software solutions. As a key technical leader, you will be responsible for the high-level architectural design of our .NET-based applications, setting technical direction, and mentoring senior developers.

You will be the principal authority on our .NET stack, ensuring our applications are built on a robust, future-proof foundation. This role requires a blend of deep technical expertise, strategic thinking, and strong leadership skills.

Key Responsibilities

• Architectural Design: Lead the high-level design and architecture of complex, enterprise-scale applications using .NET Core, .NET 8+, and related technologies.
• Technical Strategy: Develop and maintain the software architectural roadmap. Evaluate and recommend new technologies, frameworks, and tools to ensure our stack remains modern and efficient.
• Standards & Best Practices: Define and enforce coding standards, design patterns (e.g., SOLID, DDD), and best practices across the engineering organization.
• System Design: Create and maintain architectural documentation, including system diagrams, data flow models, and API specifications. Design solutions for high availability, scalability, and disaster recovery.
• Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Provide technical guidance and mentorship to senior developers and team leads. Conduct architectural reviews and code reviews to ensure alignment with design principles.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product managers, business stakeholders, and DevOps teams to translate complex business requirements into robust, scalable technical solutions.
• Cloud Architecture: Design and implement cloud-native solutions, with a strong preference for Azure (e.g., App Services, Azure Functions, Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, Azure Service Bus).
• Proof of Concept (PoC): Lead and build PoCs to evaluate new technologies and validate complex architectural approaches before full implementation.
• Performance & Security: Act as the final gatekeeper for application performance, security, and stability, embedding these principles into the architecture from the ground up.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of professional experience in software development.
• 3-5+ years in a formal Architect or technical leadership role.
• Expert-level knowledge of the .NET ecosystem, including .NET Core, .NET 8+, and C#.
• Experience of Angular, React
• Proven experience designing and building large-scale, distributed systems (e.g., microservices, event-driven architectures).
• Deep expertise in cloud platforms, particularly Microsoft Azure.
• Strong proficiency with SQL databases (e.g., SQL Server, PostgreSQL) and familiarity with NoSQL databases (e.g., Cosmos DB, MongoDB).
• Expert understanding of software design patterns, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and SOLID principles.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps principles (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions).
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• GCP Certified
