A prestigious company is looking for a highly skilled C# developer. So you think you can code? Sure you can, but do you know how to develop or craft software that has practical impacts on people’s lives? Are you ready to join a strong team in a fun environment with high-quality projects? You will be working with developers as passionate about development as you are. The client is building a new product with multiple moving parts &and is heavily funded by one of the Banks. The Head of Dev has come on board to scale the MVP and he needs a couple of strong developers to come design & build new platforms with him.

Requirements

Why look at this:

• The head of dev is one of the best techies in the SAFA market & more so, he’s the kind of guy that prefers delivery overclock watching.
• The tech is bleeding edge.
• There’s no legacy. This is all new, from the ground up (well from the MVP up).

What you need to have is:

• Intermediate/senior C# developer
• ASP.NET Core
• C#.NET Core
• XP in Git
• DDD
• Azure
• HTML
• SQL Sever
• UI Angular
• You’re not a senior greybeard yet; you’ve probably been coding for somewhere between three to seven years
• You are a C# developer you know the stack well enough to handle everything but the most complex development
• You’ve at least done a couple of tutorials on .NET Core/ASP.NET Core

The sorts of skills that are going to make him want to buy you a beer are:

• You didn’t start coding yesterday. Yes you’re talented but you’ve eaten elephants before and know what to watch for.
• You’re curious – we’ve got a blank slate for you; at these rates you’ll be expected to back the HOD up when conceptualising, tech decision making and in the actual code itself.
• C# is your playground.
• You’re full-stack and have produced B2C UI before – ideally in Angular but they’ll talk if you bring UI JavaScript/Typescript or React with at least a little Angular.
• Web Api/Restful services.

The other stuff that would help me negotiate an offer for you:

• Azure with CosmoDB.
• Taken an MVP to market before.
• Financial Services or Fintech experience.
• B2C product experience.
