Requirements

  • Experience: 8+ years building and shipping production services/features end-to-end (design delivery support).
  • Hands-on leadership: Leads through the codebase—estimation, solution design, implementation, reviews, and troubleshooting for complex work.
  • Core stack: Strong C#/.NET (ASP.NET Core, Web API) + SQL Server; solid Git/PR workflow discipline.
  • Quality-through-code: Regularly ships with unit/integration/contract tests; expects the same from others; comfortable defining/enforcing quality gates.
  • Delivery automation: Has personally automated multiple parts of a real codebase (CI/CD, tests, code quality, deploy scripts, DB migrations, scaffolding/code-gen).
  • Collaboration: Clear communicator who partners well with Product/QA/Ops and can drive technical decisions to closure.
  • Operating model: Can work effectively across a distributed India + North America team while aligning with US working hours.
  • Preferred: Modernization: Experience modernizing a mature system while introducing newer tech (e.g., React portals, new services) without destabilizing production.
  • Cloud: Hands-on cloud experience in Azure (preferred) or AWS/GCP (monitoring/alerting, pipelines, basic IaC concepts).
  • API/integrations: Strong API design and documentation; integration experience in production.
  • AI / agentic workflows: Practical experience using AI/agentic dev tooling to accelerate delivery safely (ground-truthing outputs, repeatable workflows, privacy/IP hygiene).
  • Nice to have: AI in product/platform: Experience integrating AI/LLM capabilities into products or internal platforms (evaluation, monitoring, guardrails). Front-end / adjacent languages: React depth; Node.js and/or Python for tooling/automation/integrations. SOAP familiarity. Insurance domain exposure: policy/billing/claims/underwriting.
