What You'll Tackle- Technical strategy: Define architecture, tooling, security, and scaling for SqlDBM v2, then turn "we should" into "it's in prod."
- ASP.NET to .NET Core transition: Own the migration path, ensure zero downtime, and retire our legacy code.
- AI enablement: Formalize an AI toolchain (Cursor/Copilot, etc.), set prompt patterns, guardrails, and velocity metrics.
- Team leadership: Hire, coach, and unblock a squad of full-stack engineers.
- Delivery & DevOps: Set up and maintain CI pipelines, automated testing, deployment workflows, observability, feature flags, etc.
- Frontend coordination: Keep our React codebase clean
Tech Environment- Backend: ASP.NET (legacy) 12 .NET Core (future)
- Frontend: React
- Infrastructure: AWS
- LLM framework: Amazon Bedrock
What You Bring- Proven engineering leadership (supported 10-30 devs across multiple squads).
- Hands-on full-stack depth: You can still sketch a migration or debug a stale cache without Slack-splaining.
- Deep experience with ASP.NET and .NET Core.
- Database intuition: Understand normalization, indexing, and warehouse semantics.
- Familiarity with Amazon Bedrock and other Gen-AI platforms; routine use of coding copilots, LLM-powered code review, and automated test generation.
- Expertise in designing and operating CI/CD, automated testing pipelines, and smooth deployment flows - experience deploying to prod multiple times a day.
- Bias towards action. Clear metrics.
Perks- Fully remote, async-first team.
- Annual bonus opportunity: Up to 10% of base salary tied to delivery and uptime targets.
- Equity: meaningful slice-sized for department lead.
