Senior / Lead .NET Software Engineer / SRE DETAILS

Location:

Arlington, TX 76014 (hybrid onsite 2-days per week) Openings: 2 (1 Senior .NET / 1 Lead .NET) Position Type: 6M C2H Hourly / Salary: to $160K+ (based on experience level) JOB SUMMARY Vaco is currently seeking a Senior .NET Software Engineer / SRE for a 6M C2H opportunity that is located in Arlington, TX 76014 (hybrid onsite 2-days per week). About the Project:
This is an ongoing multi-year digital transformation initiative (now roughly 2+ years in) focused on modernizing financial services platforms, making them more scalable, reliable, automated, and cloud-native. The .NET Engineer / SRE will be building and extending tools / frameworks for SRE practices, including automation scripts, custom monitoring, CI/CD enhancements, reliability tooling, etc. The .NET Engineer / SRE will help bridge the gap between development teams (writing .NET)

and SREs (ensuring reliability at scale), especially within this strategic / tool building-focused SRE practice. This is not a traditional .NET Developer (no owning user-facing APIs or business logic for financial services), but rather applying .NET skills to SRE tasks, including building custom tools for automation, reliability, and release engineering, creating GITHub Copilot context files to embed SRE practices (security / performance checks) early in development cycles, debugging / refactoring code in production environments, performing root-cause analysis, and iterating post-deployment.

Additionally, there's no traditional on-call production monitoring / support, whereas the focus will be on design, architecture, automation, and enabling scalable Dev Ops / SRE practices for development teams, rather than day-to-day firefighting. Ideal Senior Candidate:
The ideal candidate will come with a Developer-First Mindset for full SDLC, Architecture Ownership, and Problem Solving (build the tool if it does not exist approach). Having .NET fluency enables strategic SRE in their .NET / Azure ecosystem, bridging gaps between development and operations without siloed roles. The Senior Engineer MUST be able to walk through their most recent projects, in depth, describing complex features, debugging, and development frameworks (why you'd choose one over the other for particular tasks, etc.).

Ideal LEAD Candidate (leading teams of 5+):
The ideal candidate will come with a Developer-First Mindset for full SDLC, Architecture Ownership, and Problem Solving (build the tool if it does not exist approach). Having .NET fluency enables strategic SRE in their .NET / Azure ecosystem, bridging gaps between development and operations without siloed roles. The Lead Engineer MUST be able to walk through their most recent projects, in depth, describing complex features, debugging, and development frameworks (why you'd choose one over the other for particular tasks, etc.).
