AI-Native Software Engineer (.NET)

Senior Software Engineer – AI-Native .NET Development

Role Summary

We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer who has built and shipped production applications using modern AI-assisted development practices.

This is not a traditional .NET development role. We need an engineer who uses AI coding tools as a core part of their daily workflow—not someone who has merely experimented with them. You must be able to explain and demonstrate how AI has helped you deliver production software faster, improve code quality, solve complex engineering problems, and modernize existing applications.

What You’ll Do:

* Design and build scalable applications using C# and ASP.NET Core

* Develop REST APIs and microservices using clean architecture principles

* Use AI-assisted development tools throughout the software-development lifecycle

* Refactor and modernize existing applications

* Diagnose and resolve complex technical issues

* Create reliable unit and integration tests

* Participate actively in pair and mob programming sessions

* Conduct code reviews and contribute to engineering standards

* Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps

* Collaborate with product managers, designers, QA engineers, and other developers

Required Qualifications:

AI-Native Software Development — Highest Priority

You must have hands-on experience using one of the tools such as:

* Claude Code

* GitHub Copilot or Microsoft Copilot

* Cursor, Windsurf, or comparable AI coding assistants

You should be prepared to explain how you use AI to:

* Design application architecture

* Generate and validate production-quality code

* Refactor existing applications

* Debug complex issues

* Create unit and integration tests

* Modernize legacy codebases

* Improve development speed and engineering quality

Your résumé should clearly describe your AI-assisted development experience, including specific tools, production use cases, and measurable outcomes whenever possible.

Backend Engineering

Strong production experience with:

* C#

* .NET and ASP.NET Core

* REST APIs

* Microservices

* SQL Server

* Clean Architecture

* Dependency Injection

* Unit and integration testing

You must have experience owning backend services and delivering scalable, production-ready applications.

Collaborative Engineering

Demonstrated experience with:

* Pair programming

* Mob programming

* Agile or Scrum delivery

* Code reviews

* Cross-functional collaboration

* Mentoring or technical leadership

This role involves approximately four to five hours of collaborative pairing or mob programming each day. You must be comfortable developing software in a highly collaborative environment.

Azure DevOps and CI/CD

Hands-on experience with:

* Azure DevOps

* Git-based source control

* CI/CD pipelines

* Automated build and release processes

* Deployment automation

Preferred Qualifications

* React and TypeScript

* Microsoft Azure

* Docker and Kubernetes

* Android or iOS development

* AI agent frameworks

* LLM integrations

* Prompt engineering

* Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers

* Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications

Experience

* Five or more years of professional software-engineering experience

* Proven experience shipping customer-facing production software

* Multiple production projects using .NET

* Strong ownership of application design, implementation, testing, and deployment

* Ability to learn and apply new technologies quickly

Important Application Requirement

Your résumé must include concrete examples of how you have used AI development tools to deliver production software. Simply listing tools such as Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, or Windsurf without describing how you used them will not be sufficient.
