• 5+ years of experience working with SQL databases.

• Strong background building and maintaining large-scale, scalable software applications.

• Proficiency in:

• C#

• Backend API development

• .NET Core 7+ (Dependency Injection, Configuration, and Logging)

• ASP.NET Core, MVC, and WebAPI

• Dapper and Json.NET

• Communicate directly with business stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into technical solutions.

• Write and maintain data access logic using Dapper and MySQL.

• Optimize database queries and preserve or improve performance to meet established SLAs.

• Introduce and maintain automated unit and integration test coverage using NUnit as a standard part of feature development and service extraction.

• Analyze and refactor legacy modules within the existing platform into independently deployable and testable ASP.NET Core services.

• Follow the established platform decomposition roadmap while maintaining the reliability of the existing monolith.

• Define service contracts and communication patterns between newly extracted services and the remaining monolithic application during the transition.

The Opportunity

• Join an established fintech company building and maintaining its own core business platform.
