  • Analyze and maintain data/database designs and models across environments as needed for troubleshooting and support.
  • Follow architectural standards, security practices, and established methodologies.


What do you need to succeed?

Must-have:
  • 10+ years with C# (.NET Core), Visual Studio, web services, XML, and RESTful APIs; experience with Kafka and/or event-driven integration.

  • Knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Experience with design patterns (MVC, MVVM, etc.), SOA, and related architectural concepts.
  • Experience with AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot), SQL and/or NoSQL databases, and Agile delivery.
  • Strong problem-solving skills; able to explain technical issues to non-technical partners and work across business and engineering teams.
  • Curiosity, continuous learning, and comfort with new tools and platforms.
  • Understanding of financial services and lending/mortgage business models preferred.
