You’re curious, collaborative, and driven by continuous improvement. You are comfortable moving seamlessly between hands‑on coding and high‑level architectural vision. You thrive where hands‑on development meets emerging technology, bringing a passion for elegant engineering that solves real business problems while empowering teams to build sustainable, scalable, modern solutions. Energized by the possibilities of AI‑enhanced engineering, you’re ready to lead the adoption of next‑generation tools across the Microsoft stack and guide teams into the future of AI‑driven development, always innovating, always pushing what’s possible.

If this sounds like you, please read on!

As a key member of our Engineering and Architecture Group, you’ll play a pivotal role in how we design, build, and deliver software. This is a hands-on architecture role, where you’ll spend at least half your time coding, prototyping, and building .NET and Azure solutions shoulder‑to‑shoulder with the team.

• Define architecture roadmaps, reference patterns, and practical solutions across Azure, .NET, and the broader Microsoft technology ecosystem.
• Collaborate with Engineering, QA, and Support leadership to evolve best practices for design, development, testing, deployment, code quality, automation, and overall maintainability.
• Contribute directly to application design and development, building prototypes, shaping architecture decisions, and guiding engineers through technical reviews and best practices.
• Partner with business stakeholders to scope new opportunities, evaluate risks, estimate effort, and translate ideas into clear, achievable solutions aligned with budget and strategy.
• Lead our adoption of AI-driven tools, including Claude Code, setting standards and identifying opportunities to streamline workflows, improve quality, and boost productivity.
• Explore new and emerging technologies, conduct proofs‑of‑concept, recommend adoption paths, and establish engineering standards across the enterprise.
• Maintain high-quality documentation, including architecture designs, integration plans, testing procedures, and operational guidelines.

Travel:

• Up to 5 days per year

Salary Range: $102,000-$105,000, depending on qualifications and experience.
