- Collaborate with front-end developers and cloud architects to deliver end-to-end solutions
Requirements
- 5+ years' professional backend/cloud development experience
- Strong C#, .NET (Core/6+) and API design skills
- Hands-on experience with Azure services (AKS, App Services, Functions, Event Hub, Service Bus, Key Vault)
- Solid understanding of microservices and containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Experience with Entity Framework and relational databases (SQL Server, PostgreSQL)
- Familiarity with CI/CD and deployment automation (ArgoCD, Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions)
- Knowledge of Infrastructure-as-Code (Bicep or ARM) and GitOps workflows
Nice to have
