Detailed Role Responsibilities

Your role will encompass the full software development lifecycle for specific modules and applications, requiring a blend of back-end prowess and front-end awareness.

Key Accountabilities:

• Application Development: Design, code, test, and debug complex business applications using .NET Core, ASP.NET, and C#. You will be responsible for writing clean, scalable, and maintainable code.

• Architectural Implementation: Develop and maintain applications using the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architectural pattern to ensure a separation of concerns and code organization.

• API Development: Build and consume secure and efficient Web APIs to facilitate data exchange between the server and client-side applications or other services.

• Data Layer Management: Use Entity Framework as an ORM (Object-Relational Mapper) to interact with databases. This includes designing database schemas, writing LINQ queries, and managing migrations.

• Database Design and Optimization: Work directly with Microsoft SQL Server, involved in tasks ranging from writing complex T-SQL queries, designing tables, and optimizing stored procedures to ensure data integrity and performance.

• Front-End Integration: Collaborate with UI/UX designers and front-end developers to integrate server-side logic with user-facing elements. This requires a working knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery.

• Cloud Deployment & Management: Utilize your familiarity with Microsoft Azure or AWS to deploy, manage, and monitor applications in a cloud environment, leveraging services like App Services, SQL Database, and Blob Storage.

• Collaboration and Code Management: Work within an Agile team, participating in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and code reviews using Git for version control.
