Senior Backend Engineer -. Netcore + Azure PAAS

As a Senior Backend Engineer at our company, you'll be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining high-quality backend components while collaborating closely with other team members in an agile environment. You'll analyze existing application architectures, optimize performance, and mentor junior developers to uphold coding standards, ensuring that our applications are secure and scalable.

Candidates applying for the Senior Backend Engineer position should have at least 7 years of experience in software development using C# and ASP.NET Core, alongside a solid understanding of Azure cloud services. Proficiency in testing frameworks, SQL Server database design, and familiarity with microservices architectures is essential. Strong communication skills and a passion for continuous learning will help you thrive in our collaborative environment.

For the Senior Backend Engineer role, expertise in C#, ASP.NET Core, and Azure cloud services is fundamental. You'll need a strong command of SQL databases and must be adept with development tools like Visual Studio, Azure DevOps, and Git. Knowledge of CI/CD practices and serverless architecture, along with testing frameworks such as XUnit and Specflow, are also critical for success.

In an agile team, a Senior Backend Engineer plays a crucial role in driving the development process. You'll collaborate with architects and team leads to iterate on solutions, participate actively in sprint meetings, and advocate for best practices in coding and design. By mentoring junior developers and sharing your technical expertise, you’ll help cultivate a strong team dynamic focused on delivering high-quality applications.

At our company, we prioritize the career growth of our employees. As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll have access to a wealth of learning resources, mentorship programs, and opportunities to lead projects. Additionally, we encourage participation in conferences and workshops, allowing you to stay updated on emerging technologies and advance your professional skills.

Absolutely! When discussing your experience with microservices, be ready to explain specific projects where you've implemented this architecture. Talk about the challenges you faced, such as communication between services, data management, and scaling issues, and how you overcame them. A solid understanding of tools like Azure Functions and API apps is also beneficial to highlight.

When optimizing existing application architectures, I typically start with a thorough analysis of performance metrics and identifying bottlenecks. I then leverage profiling tools, refactor code where necessary, and ensure best practices in database schema design. Communicating effectively with team members during this process ensures we establish a collaborative approach to enhancements.

I've primarily worked with XUnit and Specflow for unit and behavior-driven testing, respectively. These frameworks not only help maintain high code quality but also mitigate bugs during development. I emphasize TDD and BDD methodologies, which foster a clearer understanding of requirements and improve the overall efficiency of the development cycle.

Security is vital in backend development. I follow OWASP guidelines and utilize security best practices like input validation, parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection, and implement secure authentication protocols such as OAuth 2. Regular code reviews and security assessments further enhance our application security.

My experience with Azure cloud services is extensive, including deploying applications on Azure App Services and managing databases with Azure SQL. I’m also involved with Azure Application Insights for monitoring performance and usage, alongside Azure DevOps for orchestrating CI/CD pipelines. My familiarity with tools like Azure Key Vault for managing credentials complements my overall cloud strategy.

Certainly! One challenging project involved migrating a monolithic application to a microservices architecture. The hurdles included ensuring data consistency and minimal downtime. By carefully planning the migration in phases and employing a thorough testing strategy, we successfully transitioned while maintaining operational stability, which ultimately improved application performance and scalability.

I dedicate time to professional growth by following technology blogs, attending webinars and conventions, and engaging in online communities. I also participate in mentorship and work with peers on side projects, which not only allows me to learn new tools and technologies but also share that knowledge effectively within my team.

As a Senior Backend Engineer, I find that tools like Visual Studio for development, Azure DevOps for project management, and Git for version control are essential. Additionally, I leverage CI/CD tools to streamline deployments, monitor build statuses, and maintain code quality throughout the development lifecycle.

Collaboration with globally distributed teams requires clear communication and adaptability. I utilize tools like Slack, Zoom, and project management software to ensure all team members are aligned, regardless of time zones. Regular check-ins and documentation are critical to overcoming geographical barriers and fostering a collaborative spirit.

Continuous learning is a cornerstone of my career. The tech landscape is continually evolving, and staying ahead through coursework, attending industry events, or participating in online learning platforms is essential. I also encourage knowledge sharing within my team to foster a culture of learning and innovation.
