Working within an Agile delivery team, this role applies modern engineering standards, Infrastructure as Code(IaC), and automated CI/CD practices to build scalable, resilient, and secure APIs and backend workflows hosted on AWS. The .NET Developer collaborates closely with Tech Leads, architects, testers, and product owners to ensure reliable delivery, maintain application documentation, and drive operational excellence.

• Software Development & API Engineering: Design, build, test, and maintain robust, high-performance backend services and serverless APIs using C# and .NET 8+, while implementing and integrating RESTful APIs through Amazon API Gateway and GraphQL services via AWS AppSync, ensuring alignment with architectural best practices and scalable, reliable solution delivery.
