Senior Technical Lead, C# ​/.NET

Role: Senior Technical Lead, C# / .NET

Location: Greater Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Hybrid

Type: Full Time

We’re looking for a Senior Technical Lead to become the technical owner of The Customer’s point-of-sale codebase, a mature, business-critical system running in stores every day.

This is not a rewrite role. The right person improves the code steadily and deliberately while protecting the store floor from regressions. You’ll modernize incrementally, raise the quality bar across the team, and bring forward practical ideas for new capabilities.

As a Senior Technical Lead, you’ll go beyond guiding a single team. You’ll own the hardest technical problems in the platform, coordinate technical decisions across onshore and offshore developers, mentor senior engineers, and work directly with The Customer’s stakeholders to turn business goals into realistic technical plans. You’ll still write code, but much of your impact will come from design reviews, technical planning, and making the right calls about risk.

The platform is built in three layers:

• Own the technical direction of the POS codebase and be accountable for its health, stability, and evolution
• Lead incremental modernization from .NET Framework toward modern .NET without a big-bang rewrite
• Protect production by reviewing changes for risk, anticipating how things can break, and ensuring safe releases
• Coordinate technical decisions across onshore and offshore developers so work stays consistent and aligned
• Mentor senior engineers and set engineering standards for code, documentation, and process
• Work directly with The Customer, including onsite visits, to understand needs, push back on unrealistic designs or timelines, and propose improvements
• Leave the code, documentation, and processes in better shape than you found them

• Deep expertise in C# and .NET Framework 4.x
• Hands‑on experience migrating to .NET 6/8/10, including multi‑targeting, net standard
  2.0, and resolving package conflicts
• Strong WCF skills: reading bindings, configurations, and contracts, and debugging services
• SQL Server and , including comfort reading stored procedures and working with Data Sets
• MSBuild, NuGet, and Power Shell build scripting, with Azure Dev Ops pipelines
• A proven track record of shipping safely to production
• Clear written communication with onshore and offshore teams and directly with client stakeholders
• Willingness to be onsite with The Customer in Richfield, MN as needed

• Windows Workflow Foundation 4 (XAML)
• Retail POS or payments experience: EMV, tender, store‑and‑forward, and PCI DSS awareness
• Enough Angular to read and understand client‑side code
• CoreWCF, ASP.NET Core, and OpenID Connect authentication
• Checkmarx remediation, Team City, and similar tooling

• A clear, proactive communicator who’s looking for a long‑term role where youi can grow with the platform and the team
• You’ve modernized a .NET Framework system incrementally, not through a big‑bang rewrite
• You ask the right questions and think carefully about how changes can break things
• You care about leaving systems better than you found them, from code to documentation to process
• You’re comfortable owning outcomes and being the person others rely on for technical judgment
