What You'll Do

Lead backend development using C# / .NET — designing and maintaining APIs, data models, and business logic
Contribute to and support the React front-end, as needed
Own Azure-based deployments and DevOps processes; improve CI/CD and environment management
Collaborate closely with the founder and other stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable tech solutions
Architect and implement improvements across performance, scalability, and system reliability
Proactively present updates and technical decisions in a clear, organized way (weekly cadence expected)
Confidently challenge ideas that aren’t technically sound, and push for smarter solutions when needed

What We're Looking For

Senior-level engineer with 6–12+ years of experience
Deep experience in C# / .NET and Azure
Comfortable with front-end development in React
Strong grasp of DevOps best practices, ideally in Azure environments
Comfortable working directly with technical founders — and navigating tough conversations when needed
Value clarity, consistency, and direct communication
Assertive, thick-skinned, and proactive — not afraid to push back, but always solution-oriented
Must live in the Philadelphia area
Must be a U.S. Citizen or Greencard holder
