- Distributed Systems & Messaging – Implement event-driven architectures using MassTransit, RabbitMQ, Kafka, or similar.
- Observability & Monitoring – Own logging, monitoring, and alerting using Grafana, CloudWatch, Datadog, or Splunk.
- Security & Performance – Implement best practices for authentication, authorization, and secure API development.
- CI/CD & Automation – Own deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions, Docker, and Terraform.
- Troubleshooting & Debugging – Diagnose and resolve complex performance bottlenecks and production issues across cloud environments.
What You Bring
- 5+ years of experience building scalable, production-grade backend systems in C#, .NET Core, and ASP.NET Core.
- Strong expertise in cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) – deploying, debugging, and scaling distributed systems.
- Experience with key .NET libraries, including Entity Framework, MassTransit, Quartz, etc.
