.NET Architect

Job Title: .NET Technical Architect Location: Austin, TX

We are looking for an experienced .NET Technical Architect to lead the modernization projects, migrating from a legacy .NET Framework architecture to a modern, cloud‑native solution.

• Conduct architecture and code reviews, providing actionable guidance to development teams
• Identify and mitigate technical risks throughout the modernization lifecycle
• Champion Dev Ops practices including CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and infrastructure as code

  , versioning, and security best practices
• Good understanding of React and micro-frontend architectures
  , with the ability to design and govern API contracts and backend services that support modern frontend experiences
