The developer we are looking for should be able to whiteboard an application, make trade off decisions, and produce a design that other developers can implement. This isn't a "just write code" role. This is not a role where you'll wire up a few endpoints and call it a day. We are looking for multiple years of professional development experience in C#/.NET. We need depth with our tech stack: .NET 8, EF Core, Oracle 19c. If you are just familiar with these, this isn't the right role - yet. Responsibilities (include but are not limited to): What You'll Do: You'll work closely with our architecture and payroll engineering teams to expand our API surface, modernize legacy integrations, and support new product capabilities including our AI-powered Answer and Intelligence Engines. 1. Design & Build Integration APIs 2. Architect for Performance, Security, and Scale 3. Design Database Schemas. 4. Maintain & Modernize Existing Interfaces. 5.

We design and maintain database schemas in Oracle 19c. For our applications, you will write performant queries, stored procedures, and data access layers using Entity Framework. You must be proficient in code-first and database-first approaches, migration management, performance tuning of generated queries, and knowing when EF is the wrong tool for the job. - Architecture and Design - you can whiteboard an application, make trade-off decisions, and produce a design that other developers can implement. This isn't a "just write code" role. - Conduct Thorough Code Reviews: As part of our development team, you will review pull requests with rigor and care. You're not scanning for syntax; you're evaluating architectural decisions, security implications, error handling, performance characteristics, and maintainability. Your reviews will improve the team, not just the code. - Troubleshoot Complex Technical Issues: Diagnose and resolve application issues that span application code, API layers, database performance, integration failures, and infrastructure. You are responsible for the code you write. - Collaborate Across Disciplines: Work daily with Product Managers, Business Analysts, QA Engineers, front-end and fellow back-end developers. You'll participate in sprint planning, design reviews, and estimation. You don't need to know our system architecture on Day 1, but you need to be curious enough to learn it, and ## Related Videos - [Web APIs you might not know about](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/281-web-apis-you-might-not-know-about) - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
