In connection with your candidacy, you will be asked to carefully review "The Tetra Way", authored by our CEO, Patrick Grady; it is impossible to overstate the importance of this document, and you should take it literally as you decide whether our mission, culture, and expectations are right for you.

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior .NET Engineer to join our dynamic team. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in designing and developing high-performance, scalable applications using C#, the .NET Framework, and Type Script. The role involves implementing automated testing and leveraging Git Hub Actions for CI/CD pipelines. The candidate should also be proficient in production debugging and possess excellent communication skills.

Knowledge and experience with AWS cloud services are also essential.

• High-Performance, Distributed, and Scalable Application Design:
  • Architect, design, and maintain distributed applications, ensuring high performance, scalability, and security.
• Full-Stack Development:
  • Develop backend services (primarily C#/.NET and Type Script) and cloud APIs, as well as modern, responsive front-end applications using Type Script/React.
• Microservices Architecture:
  • Design and implement loosely coupled, independently deployable services using AWS services such as DynamoDB, RDS, SQS, Lambda, API Gateway, and others.
• Automated Testing:
  • Create and maintain automated unit, integration, contract, and end-to-end tests across microservices and UI layers.
• CI/CD Pipelines:
  • Use Git Hub Actions to implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines for both backend services and front-end applications.
• Production Debugging & Optimization:
  • Diagnose and resolve production issues in distributed systems, including service-to-service communication, CPU/memory/network bottlenecks, and AWS service performance.
• Observability & Operational Excellence:
  • Instrument services using Open Telemetry (or equivalent) to enable earlier fault detection, clearer alerting, and stronger operational visibility. Contribute to SLO definition and MTTR reduction efforts across the platform.
• Collaboration & Communication:
  • Work closely with product managers, tech leads, and other engineers to deliver reliable, maintainable, and scalable solutions. Communicate technical decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Required Skills

• Strong proficiency in backend service development using C#/.NET.
• Strong proficiency in Type Script and React for front-end UI.
• Experience building and operating software in both on-premises/customer-hosted environments and cloud-native multi-tenant environments, with an understanding of how debugging, deployment, and scaling differ between the two.
• Hands-on experience with AWS DynamoDB, RDS, SQS (or an equivalent cloud provider) in production environments.
• Experience with microservices patterns (service discovery, API gateway, messaging/queueing, data partitioning).
• Experience with automated testing at multiple levels.
• Strong Git skills and hands-on experience with Git Hub Actions for CI/CD.
• Strong troubleshooting skills for distributed systems in production.
• Solid understanding of cloud-native architecture and AWS best practices.
• Familiarity with observability tooling and practices (Open…
