Quick Facts

Lead Software Engineer (.NET + Azure) / Deputy Tech Lead. Drive the design and build of a greenfield enterprise integration platform on Microsoft Azure with technical ownership, hands-on delivery, and mentorship.

Description

You will lead the creation of a new Azure-based enterprise integration platform from scratch. The role blends implementation with technical leadership: you will architect contract-first integration patterns, set pipeline quality gates, mentor engineers, and support the Technical Lead across a complex multi-vendor ecosystem.

Responsibilities

• Work with the Integration Architect to build core platform components: contract repositories, API/event catalogues, APIOps pipelines, Azure API Management, Event Hubs, Service Bus, and managed file exchange.
• Build, test, and deploy integrations using C#/.NET and Infrastructure as Code (Bicep/Terraform), meeting performance, scalability, and security standards (OAuth2, HMAC, Key Vault).
• Serve as deputy to the Technical Lead: run technical discussions, make day-to-day decisions in their absence, perform constructive code reviews, and mentor integration engineers.
• Partner with the Data Platform team to define data contracts, operational boundaries, and zero-copy access to source data (Databricks / Microsoft Fabric / Purview).
• Enforce contract-first standards (OpenAPI, JSON Schema, Avro) and pipeline quality gates to keep external vendor teams aligned.

Requirements

• 8+ years of hands-on enterprise integration or backend engineering experience.
• Production experience with Azure API Management (policies, products, deployment as code), Azure Service Bus, Event Hubs, and serverless compute (Azure Functions / Logic Apps).
• Expertise in REST API design with OpenAPI and JSON Schema, and asynchronous messaging patterns.
• Strong cloud security knowledge: Entra ID, Key Vault, private endpoints, OAuth2, HMAC; plus Bicep/Terraform and Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines.
• Proficiency in C# and .NET (or a comparable enterprise backend language).
• B2+ written and spoken English; ability to whiteboard and clearly present technical trade-offs to client architects and senior stakeholders.
