We’re hiring a Staff Developer to lead the technical delivery of Share Gate’s most ambitious new feature, Backup, one of our customers’ top requests. This marks a first for Share Gate in the migration space.

In this hands‑on technical leadership role, you’ll own the architecture, define the long‑term technical vision, and help build the team that will bring this highly requested capability to life.

• Lead the technical design, architecture, and delivery of the Backup feature, ensuring scalability, security, and long‑term maintainability.
• Design and develop a new backup system that is reliable, automated, and easy to use, capable of meeting operational needs and recovery requirements.
• Define and champion a spec‑driven development workflow, where features are designed upfront through detailed technical specifications before any code is written, enabling agentic AI‑assisted development, faster reviews, and higher quality delivery.
• Collaborate with Product, Design, and directly with customers to validate our solutions, and align our technical direction to our product goals.
• Mentor developers, grow the team, and influence technical decisions across Share Gate’s engineering organization.
• Act as a visible technical leader, advocating for scalable design decisions, driving technical discussions, and influencing Share Gate’s broader engineering practices.

A typical week involves writing detailed specifications that serve as a contract between intent and implementation, leveraging agentic AI development tools to accelerate delivery, reviewing code and designs, facilitating design discussions, writing code, and solving complex Backup challenges. You’ll also spend time shaping the long‑term team in partnership with your Software Development Manager by participating in hiring, onboarding, and mentoring as the team grows.

• 10+ years of software development experience, with a significant portion in technical leadership roles.
• Advanced proficiency in C# and the .NET ecosystem, with familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, React, and ideally hybrid or desktop application environments.
• Hands‑on experience with agentic development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot Agents, or equivalent) and comfort actively integrating them into your daily workflow.
• Proven technical leadership in large‑scale enterprise system development, from design to delivery, with a sharp sense of user experience and empathy for customer needs.
• Strong knowledge of the Microsoft 365 ecosystem (SharePoint, One Drive, Exchange, Teams) and experience with SaaS security and compliance practices.
• Experience in data backup and restoration, including recovery planning and the implementation of recovery strategies, is an asset.
• Good understanding of Disaster Recovery use cases and real‑world scenarios where backup tools are critical.
• Excellent communication and influence skills, able to align technical and non‑technical stakeholders, collaborate with Product and Design teams, and develop and mentor fellow developers.
