## About the Role

* 5+ years of backend development with expert-level C# and .NET 8+
 * Production-grade mastery of Domain-Driven Design (strategic + tactical patterns)
 * Deep, hands-on experience with MartenDB and Wolverine (.NET Critter Stack)
 * Strong grasp of CQRS, event sourcing, and PostgreSQL performance optimization
 * Experience in legal tech, workflow automation, or regulated industries
 * Familiarity with OpenTelemetry or other observability platforms
 * Familiarity with Svelte, TypeScript, and frontend development
 * Familiarity with Auth0 and OktaFGA
 * Exceptional communication-able to explain complex domain logic to non-technical stakeholders
 * Growth mindset, collaborative spirit, and passion for mentorship
 * Proven ability to independently drive high-impact initiatives to completion under ambitious timelines.

## Description

* 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.
