The role focuses on designing and implementing scalable legal-domain software using .NET, Domain-Driven Design, and event-driven architecture, while owning features and mentoring engineers.
Responsibilities
- Architect and implement sophisticated legal domains using Domain-Driven Design (DDD), defining bounded contexts, aggregates, domain events, and a shared ubiquitous language
- Model resilient, event-sourced systems with Marten, leveraging multi-document sessions, projections, and tenanted document storage in PostgreSQL
- Design and deliver asynchronous, idempotent message handlers using Wolverine, with built-in retry policies, dead-letter queues, and full observability
- Optimize PostgreSQL performance under high-throughput workloads using indexing, partitioning, and query tuning
- Drive end-to-end feature ownership—from domain modeling and REST API design to CI/CD automation, observability, and production monitoring
- Establish and enforce engineering excellence through code reviews, architectural decision records (ADRs), and comprehensive test coverage (unit, integration, contract)
- Build in enough resiliency or be prepared to troubleshoot and resolve the technical issues, no matter the hour
- Mentor mid-level and junior engineers in DDD strategic patterns, clean architecture, and modern .NET best practices
- Partner with product, UX, and legal domain experts to translate complex workflows into intuitive, high-performance software
- Actively shape shared domain models and architecture decisions in cross-team design syncs, sprint planning, and design document reviews
- Clearly articulate technical trade-offs and domain models to engineers, product leaders, and stakeholders
- Actively contribute in design discussions, sprint planning, and cross-team syncs with empathy and respect
