** About the Role
** We're looking for a Technical Lead to drive the design, development, and delivery of full stack applications across our engineering organization. In this role, you'll combine hands-on development with technical leadership — setting architectural direction, mentoring developers, and ensuring our teams ship high-quality software with confidence. You'll own technical decisions across the stack and champion modern engineering practices including continuous delivery, automated testing, and infrastructure as code.  

##
** Responsibilities
* ** Lead the design and implementation of full stack applications using .NET (C#) and Blazor, ensuring solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with business objectives.
* Define and evolve the technical architecture across frontend and backend systems, making pragmatic trade-offs between speed, quality, and complexity.
* Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Git Hub Actions, enabling teams to deploy frequently and safely with automated build, test, and release workflows.
* Champion automated testing at all levels — unit, integration, and end-to-end — embedding quality into the development process rather than treating it as a gate.
* Design and manage cloud infrastructure on Microsoft Azure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tooling such as Bicep, Terraform, or ARM templates, ensuring environments are reproducible, version-controlled, and secure.
* Implement and manage feature flagging strategies using Launch Darkly to support progressive rollouts, experimentation, and safe deployments.
* Conduct code reviews, provide technical guidance, and mentor engineers across the team to raise the bar on engineering standards and practices.
* Collaborate with product managers, designers, and stakeholders to translate requirements into well-scoped technical plans and delivery milestones.
* Evaluate and introduce new tools, frameworks, and patterns where they provide meaningful improvement, while managing technical debt pragmatically.
* Contribute to incident response, production support, and post-incident reviews, fostering a culture of reliability and continuous improvement.  ##
** Required Qualifications
*** 7+ years of professional software development experience, with at least 2 years in a technical lead or senior architecture role.
* Strong proficiency in .NET (C#), including ASP.NET Core, Web APIs, and server-side application development.
* Hands-on experience building interactive web applications with Blazor (Server and/or Web Assembly).
* Deep working knowledge of Microsoft Azure services (App Services, Azure SQL, Azure Functions, Service Bus, Entra , Key Vault, and related).
* Proven experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines in Git Hub Actions, including branch strategies, environment promotion, and automated quality gates.
* Practical experience with Infrastructure as Code using Bicep, Terraform, or ARM templates in Azure environments.
* Experience implementing feature management and progressive delivery using Launch Darkly or comparable feature flagging platforms.
* Strong commitment to automated testing practices and experience with testing frameworks such as xUnit, NUnit, bUnit, Playwright, or similar.
* Solid understanding of relational databases (SQL Server, Azure SQL) and data access patterns (Entity Framework Core, Dapper).  ##
** Preferred Qualifications
*** Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration platforms (Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Container Apps).
* Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools such as Application Insights, Azure Monitor, Grafana, or Datadog.
* Experience with event-driven architectures,…
