Staff Software Engineer [.Net, MVC, AWS, AI]

We're looking for a Staff Engineer who can lead both product engineering and cloud infrastructure across a mature .NET platform running on AWS. Your immediate focus will be helping modernize and scale a business-critical application using C#, .NET, React, TypeScript, AWS, and CI/CD automation.

What's particularly interesting about this opportunity is where the platform is headed next.

As part of the long-term technology strategy, you'll play a key role in evaluating and driving the evolution of the platform toward a more modern architecture centered around React, Node.js, AWS Cloud Services, AI-powered capabilities, and cloud-native engineering practices. This means you'll not only help solve today's engineering challenges but also influence the future technical direction of the product.

For engineers who enjoy owning architecture, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and product delivery end-to-end-and who are excited by the opportunity to work with the technologies shaping the next generation of software platforms-this role offers the chance to have a significant impact at the Staff Engineer level.

What You'll Do

• Lead architecture and development across enterprise .NET applications using C#, ASP.NET MVC, and modern backend engineering practices
• Design and maintain AWS cloud infrastructure using AWS CDK in TypeScript across multi-environment deployments
• Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines using AWS CodePipeline and CodeBuild, including Windows-based build agents for .NET workloads
• Own infrastructure provisioning, deployment orchestration, release automation, and environment management strategies
• Develop and maintain React and TypeScript frontend applications integrated with .NET backend services
• Drive modernization initiatives including clean architecture adoption, refactoring, and technical debt reduction
• Design scalable PostgreSQL and MSSQL database solutions with strong focus on schema design, query optimization, and performance tuning
• Troubleshoot complex infrastructure, deployment, and platform issues across application and cloud environments
• Champion DevOps best practices including automation, operational excellence, monitoring, governance, and deployment reliability
• Monitor platform health, cloud costs, observability, and incident response processes across AWS environments
• Collaborate with engineering teams to improve developer workflows, reduce operational toil, and increase engineering efficiency
• Mentor engineers on cloud engineering, CI/CD, AWS best practices, software design, and scalable system architecture
• Contribute to future platform evolution initiatives including MERN stack modernization planning and cloud-native architecture adoption
