<li>Collaborate within a cross-functional Scrum team, ensuring all deliverables align with business and technical priorities.</li>
<li>Work alongside other engineering teams to define, uphold, and promote shared development practices and technical standards. You’ll contribute to architectural discussions, share insights for optimization, and monitor application performance for continued reliability.</li>
</ul><p>W<strong>e're Thrilled to Have You Consider Joining Our Team. Here Are the Qualifications We're Seeking</strong></p><ul>
<li>At least six years of experience in backend development with .NET Core and C#, including Entity Framework Core, SQL Server, T-SQL, and data access patterns. </li>
<li>Proficiency in designing and developing RESTful APIs and working within data-centric platforms that involve data ingestion, storage, and transformation. </li>
<li>Experience supporting and developing ETL pipelines as part of large-scale software systems. </li>
<li>Working knowledge of AWS services like API Gateway, Fargate, Lambda, Elastic Cache, ECS, EKS, and basic familiarity. </li>
<li>Hands-on experience using Git and following modern version control practices in collaborative team settings. </li>
<li>Strong communication skills in English, both written and spoken. </li>
</ul><p><strong>Skills That Would Make You Shine Even Brighter! </strong></p><ul>
