Full Job Description
Job Summary
You'll join the engineering group delivering across three of our most visible program areas: the Managed Enterprise Services (MES) suite - spanning CCT, CBPC, Document Center, and EAC - the CBA side of AIX, and our Digital Convergence initiative (CVG / MA360). These are interconnected, business-critical applications, so the backend work here is high-leverage and highly visible.
What makes this role compelling is how we build, not just what we build. We're an early adopter of Spec-Driven Development (SDD) using OpenSpec: every change begins from a clear, version-controlled specification that the team - and our AI coding assistants - agree on before a line of code is written. Engineers here shape the spec, not just the implementation, which means less rework, a traceable decision history, and consistent patterns across a large, evolving codebase.

As a backend engineer, you'll own .NET services end-to-end - from authoring the spec to shipping and operating production code - while mentoring teammates and helping mature our SDD practice. If you enjoy modern .NET at real scale, an AI-augmented workflow, and being able to point to systems that matter, this is a strong fit.

Job Description

Responsibilities:
  • Author and refine OpenSpec artifacts - proposals, requirement specs, design notes, and task breakdowns - and implement against them as the source of truth.
  • Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs in C# / ASP.NET Core, including data access with SQL and Entity Framework Core.
  • Use AI coding assistants effectively, driven by approved specs, to accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality.
  • Write automated tests and ship through CI/CD pipelines; support deployment and operation of services in the cloud.
  • Review peers' specs and code, mentor less-experienced engineers, and help mature the team's SDD practice.
  • Collaborate with product, QA, and other engineering teams to translate ambiguous requirements into precise, buildable specifications.
  • Collaborating with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and integrate innovative software solutions that align with business needs
  • Conducting analysis of system requirements and the customization of applications to ensure optimal functionality
  • Assisting with the software update process for existing applications and roll-outs of software releases
  • Mentoring junior engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and shared knowledge within the team
  • Engaging with Quality Assurance to verify that software meets technical specifications and delivering high-quality, reliable applications
  • Troubleshooting and resolving complex technical issues in software applications and systems
  • Synthesizing market research and industry trends to inform project strategies and enhance product offerings
  • Conducting training sessions for operational staff to ensure effective use of internally developed applications
  • Consistent exercise of independent judgment and discretion in matters of significance.
  • Regular, consistent and punctual attendance.
  • Other duties and responsibilities as assigned.


Required qualifications
  • 5-7 years of professional backend software development.
  • Strong, demonstrable proficiency in C# and the .NET stack (ASP.NET Core Web API).
  • Experience designing REST APIs and working with relational databases (SQL, EF Core).
  • Working knowledge of CI/CD, automated testing, version control (Git), and at least one cloud platform (Azure preferred).
  • Comfort with - or strong aptitude for - spec-first / specification-driven workflows; direct OpenSpec or comparable SDD experience is a plus.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills. Able to effectively handle ambiguity well, provides thoughtful code feedback, and actively supports and mentors teammates to elevate overall team performance.
  • Experience with AI-native development tools, such as OpenSpec or comparable frameworks (e.g., GitHub Spec Kit), with the ability to leverage these tools to drive efficient specification, development, and collaboration workflows.
