This role is ideal for a senior engineer who is database-centric but not database-only – someone who enjoys writing production code, building features that interact heavily with data, and taking responsibility for how the database performs in real-world, high-availability environments.
You will work across application code, database architecture, and Azure infrastructure, partnering closely with product and engineering leadership to deliver scalable, reliable systems.
Main Responsibilities:
* Database Architecture, Performance & Ownership: Design, evolve, and optimize database schemas, indexes, queries, and stored procedures to support high-performance application workloads
* Own database performance tuning, query optimization, and capacity planning across environments
* Manage availability, backup/restore, disaster recovery, and survivability strategies in Azure SQL
* Monitor and proactively address performance bottlenecks, deadlocks, blocking, and resource contention
* Own database cost management in Azure, including sizing, scaling strategies, and cost optimization
* Ensure data integrity, security, and operational excellence throughout the application lifecycle
Software Development & Feature Delivery
* Design, develop, and maintain enterprise-grade applications and services using C# and .NET
* Build application features that interact deeply with the database, balancing correctness, performance, and maintainability
* Develop and maintain RESTful APIs and backend services that integrate with internal and third-party systems
* Participate in architectural discussions and influence technical direction across the stack
* Perform code reviews and mentor team members on best practices in both application and database development
* Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues across application, database, and infrastructure layers
Azure Cloud & DevOps
* Design and operate solutions using Microsoft Azure, with a focus on reliability and observability
* Support CI/CD pipelines and deployment practices using Azure DevOps
* Work with monitoring, logging, and alerting to ensure system health and rapid issue resolution
* Collaborate on infrastructure decisions that impact scalability, performance, and cost
Required Qualifications:
* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience
* 7+ years of professional experience in C#/.NET software development
* Strong written and spoken English (C1 or C2 proficiency)
Bonus Points:
* MICROSOFT AZURE CERTIFICATIONS (DEVELOPER ASSOCIATE, SOLUTIONS ARCHITECT, OR SIMILAR)
* EXPERIENCE WITH PLIVO OR TWILIO
* EXPERIENCE WITH MESSAGE-BASED SYSTEMS (AZURE SERVICE BUS, RABBITMQ, ETC.)
* STRONG UNDERSTANDING OF DEVOPS PRACTICES AND PRODUCTION OPERATIONS

A collaborative engineering culture that values quality, accountability, and continuous improvement
