Responsibilities
- Own delivery of the monolith-to-microservices modernization end-to-end — from legacy analysis through production release — with full visibility into pipeline status and risk
- Partner with Product and Architecture to review specs, map legacy dependencies, and turn that into estimates the team can actually hit
- Guide architectural decisions across .NET Core services, databases (SQL/NoSQL), and frontend integrations, and be the go-to for the hardest backend, data migration, and production incident calls
- Sharpen how the team works day-to-day — tighter task tracking in Jira, more accurate estimation, and a QA partnership that keeps bugs resolved fast and production stable
- Run regular 1-on-1s tied to real career goals, and drive the feedback and process changes that keep the team improving and engaged
Skills
- Solid .NET engineering background with deep expertise in C#, .NET 8, and ASP.NET Core
- Deep understanding of web application architecture, REST APIs, the microservices pattern, message brokers (RabbitMQ), and database design (PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, Redis)
- Practical experience with legacy system modernization, monorepo-to-microservices refactoring, and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Ability to act as the technical escalation point for complex implementation, data migration, or performance issues
- Proven experience managing engineering teams — running 1-on-1s, performance reviews, and objective evaluations
- Strong track record in delivery management: task tracking in Jira, process discipline, and hitting internal deadlines with predictable releases
- Experience reviewing business specs, assessing technical feasibility, and providing high-level estimates — partnering closely with PM and product to keep engineering output aligned with product goals
