C# .Net Backend & Platform Engineer (MS Azure)

Job ID:  4512
Location: 

Bangalore, KA, IN

Date:  Mar 3, 2026

Job Description

We are seeking a C# .NET Backend Developer with a "DevOps First" mindset to join our engineering team. Unlike traditional infrastructure roles, this position is for a developer who wants to build high-performance C# microservices while simultaneously architecting the CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes environments they run on. You will be the bridge between code and production, ensuring our stack is not just functional, but automated, scalable, and resilient.

Responsibilities

  1. Integrated Backend Development: Design and develop C# microservices with a focus on "observability-driven development" and cloud-native patterns.
  2. Performance & Reliability: Optimize microservice communication and data persistence, ensuring the system can handle distributed traffic.
  3. CI/CD Orchestration: Own the Azure DevOps pipelines. Automate the build, test, and deployment lifecycle for C# and React applications.
  4. Container Strategy: Lead the containerization of services using Docker and manage orchestration within Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
  5. Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Treat infrastructure like software. Build and maintain Azure environments and Kubernetes clusters using automated provisioning (Terraform, Bicep, or ARM).
  6. DevOps Culture Advocacy: Work with the broader engineering team to implement automated testing, security scanning, and proactive monitoring (SRE principles).

Requirements:

  1. Bachelor's/master’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Equivalent practical experience in building and deploying distributed systems will also be highly valued.
  2. Proven experience of minimum 5-8 years of proven experience as a Backend Developer in C# and .NET Core. You should be comfortable writing business logic and refactoring code for cloud efficiency.
  3. Architectural Literacy: Strong understanding of microservices, distributed systems, and message queues (e.g., Azure Service Bus, RabbitMQ).
  4. Experience with RESTful APIs, and knowledge of API design principles and best practices.
  5. Orchestration Expert: Deep familiarity with Kubernetes and Docker. You understand how to scale, network, and secure containers.
  6. Azure Specialist: Hands-on experience with the Azure ecosystem and Azure DevOps (specifically YAML-based pipelines and releases).
  7. The "Automation" Itch: A strong dislike for manual tasks. If you have to do it twice, you want to script it.
  8. Frontend Awareness: Basic familiarity with React to better support the deployment and integration of frontend assets.

Desired Skills:

We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and a dynamic and inclusive work environment. If you are excited about this opportunity and believe you have the skills and passion to succeed, we would love to hear from you.
