About the Project: This is an ongoing multi-year digital transformation initiative (now roughly 2+ years in) focused on modernizing financial services platforms, making them more scalable, reliable, automated, and cloud-native. The .NET Engineer / SRE will be building and extending tools / frameworks for SRE practices, including automation scripts, custom monitoring, CI/CD enhancements, reliability tooling, etc. The .NET Engineer / SRE will help bridge the gap between development teams (writing .NET) and SREs (ensuring reliability at scale), especially within this strategic / tool building-focused SRE practice. This is not a traditional .NET Developer (no owning user-facing APIs or business logic for financial services), but rather applying .NET skills to SRE tasks, including building custom tools for automation, reliability, and release engineering, creating GITHub Copilot context files to embed SRE practices (security / performance checks) early in development cycles, debugging / refactoring code in production environments, performing root-cause analysis, and iterating post-deployment. Additionally, there's no traditional on-call production monitoring / support, whereas the focus will be on design, architecture, automation, and enabling scalable DevOps / SRE practices for development teams, rather than day-to-day firefighting. Ideal Senior Candidate: The ideal candidate will come with a Developer-First Mindset for full SDLC, Architecture Ownership, and Problem Solving (build the tool if it does not exist approach). Having .NET fluency enables strategic SRE in their .NET / Azure ecosystem, bridging gaps between development and operations without siloed roles.
