• Lead the design, development, and deployment of cloud-native, full-stack applications with .NET and Azure, ensuring scalability, performance, and reliability.
• Establish and enforce coding standards, design patterns, and architectural guidelines across software projects.
• Champion best practices in automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Bicep, ARM), and rigorous documentation.
• Architect and integrate AI capabilities using Azure AI Services (Cognitive Services, ML, OpenAI, Bot Services) for predictive analytics, NLP, and intelligent automation.
• Conduct code reviews, provide constructive feedback, and mentor engineering talent in cloud-native, AI, and agile delivery practices.
• Collaborate with product, QA, and cross-functional teams to clarify requirements, refine technical solutions, and deliver features aligned to business needs.
• Continuously evaluate and adopt new technologies, tools, and methodologies to improve productivity, quality, and security.
• Ensure adherence to enterprise software quality, performance, and compliance requirements.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 7+ years of hands-on experience in software engineering and architecture, with deep knowledge of .NET (C#, ASP.NET Core) and Azure cloud services.
• Advanced proficiency in Azure AI Services for developing and deploying enterprise AI-driven solutions.
• Expertise in microservices, API-first design (REST/GraphQL), event-driven systems, and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Proficiency in DevOps, CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code, and Agile/Scrum/SAFe methodologies.
• Strong code review, testing, problem-solving, and leadership skills.
• Experience integrating AI features via REST APIs or SDKs into business applications.
• Business Process Management (BPM) implementation experience, especially with Pega, is a plus.
• Experience in regulated industries (e.g., Property & Casualty insurance) preferred.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Python, and familiarity with machine learning/deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch.
• Hands-on with additional BPM tools (Camunda, Appian).
• Front-end frameworks (Angular, React), advanced SQL, and data streaming technologies (Kafka, RabbitMQ).
• Knowledge of data privacy, compliance, and security requirements for cloud and AI adoption.
• Demonstrated ability to lead the full lifecycle of modeling software adoption—including evaluation, implementation, and integration into enterprise systems and business processes.
