• Proactively consider and address security, performance, and scalability requirements during development.
• Cloud and Infrastructure: Leverage Microsoft Azure for cloud infrastructure, ensuring efficient and secure use of cloud services. Work closely with DevOps to improve deployment processes.
• DevOps & CI/CD: Support the setup and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines, enabling smooth and frequent deployments. Collaborate with the DevOps team to automate and optimize the development process.
• Technical Mentorship: Provide technical guidance and support to team members, helping them solve day-to-day challenges, enhance code quality, and adopt best practices.
• Quality Assurance: Collaborate with QA to ensure thorough testing, automated testing coverage, and overall product quality.
• Product Security: Actively implement and promote security best practices to protect data and ensure compliance with industry standards.
• Documentation & Code Reviews: Promote good coding practices, conduct code reviews, and maintain clear documentation.

• Strong knowledge of product security best practices and experience implementing secure coding practices.
• Familiarity with QA processes and automated testing tools is a plus.
• Ability to support team members in solving technical challenges and sharing knowledge effectively.

Preferred Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in software development, with a strong focus on .NET Core and React.
• Previous experience as a Staff SE, tech lead, or in a similar hands-on tech role.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced, startup environment.
