Senior Software Developer (.NET)

As a Senior Software Developer .NET at RF-SMART, you'll be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining web applications using C# and React. Your duties will include writing clean and well-tested code, participating in code reviews, gathering requirements, and collaborating with team members in agile sessions. Additionally, you'll integrate applications with backend services and evaluate new frameworks and technologies to ensure quality and security in our software solutions.

To qualify for the Senior Software Developer .NET position at RF-SMART, you need a BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent professional experience, along with at least 5 years of full-stack application development using C#. Proficiency in SOLID principles, RESTful APIs, SPA design, and agile methodologies is essential. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and excellent communication abilities are also imperative for success in this role.

While the basic qualifications will get you in the door, having experience with AWS or Azure cloud development platforms, knowledge of AI, Python, or LangChain would be extremely beneficial. Familiarity with ERP supply chain or warehouse management software solutions is a plus. Developing mentoring skills to assist junior developers will also distinguish you in the hiring process.

The selection process for the Senior Software Developer .NET role at RF-SMART typically involves several stages. It begins with an initial call with our Talent Acquisition team, followed by a hiring manager interview, a panel interview with the development team, and finally, a cross-functional team panel interview which includes QA and Product representatives. The last step is an executive interview with the AVP of Product Engineering to assess your fit within the organization.

At RF-SMART, the work environment is dynamic and collaborative, emphasizing agile practices. Senior Software Developers are part of dedicated scrum teams that work closely together, participating in daily standups and planning sessions. Our flexible onsite/hybrid working arrangements create a culture that values both productivity and personal life balance, making it a great place for those who thrive in collaborative but adaptable settings.
