Full Job Description
Overview

Publicis Sapient is looking for a .NET senior developer to partner with federal health clients undertaking major digital engagement initiatives. You'll balance hands-on maintenance of mission-critical systems with opportunities to design and build new capabilities that further the mission of a large NIH institute. We are on a mission to transform the world, and you will be instrumental in shaping how we do it with your ideas, thoughts, and solutions.

Your Skills and Experience:
  • 4-7+ years' experience in .NET full stack development
  • Strong knowledge of the .NET ecosystem, including C#, .NET Core, .NET Framework, and Entity Framework (Code-First and stored-procedure hybrid patterns)
  • Frontend development experience with React, JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, and CSS, with the ability to work across both frontend and backend application layers
  • Experience with SQL Server: writing and maintaining stored procedures, understanding query performance, and working across dev/QA/stage/prod environments
  • Comfort operating within a layered architecture
  • Experience with Git-based version control and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or equivalent)
  • Demonstrated ability to read, diagnose, and safely modify unfamiliar or partially documented code; this role includes significant ongoing operations and maintenance work, not just new development
  • Strong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills across the full stack, including the ability to triage ambiguous, cross-cutting issues
  • Experience in writing automated unit tests
  • Ability to build technical remediations for Section 508/accessibility issues
  • Ability to work independently on assigned tasks while also collaborating closely with other developers, QA, and DBA when necessary
  • Professional communication skills suitable for client-facing scenarios
  • NET / MVC and Object-oriented design
  • Experience developing, consuming, and troubleshooting RESTful APIs using C#/.NET
  • Experience with Agile/Scrum development methodologies
  • Eligible for U.S. Government Clearance public trust


Set Yourself Apart:
  • Experience with Active Directory group-based access control and authentication/authorization patterns
  • Experience maintaining and troubleshooting Sitecore-based .NET applications hosted in Azure, including supporting existing applications through decommissioning or transition
  • Experience with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or similar CI/CD platforms
  • Exposure to Power Apps, Power Automate, or SharePoint Online
  • Experience integrating Azure OpenAI into a .NET or similar web application (genuinely a plus rather than a core expectation)
  • Experience with SyncFusion or similar reporting/export component libraries
  • Experience with SeriLog or structured application logging and error-tracking practices
  • Familiarity with CQRS, Repository, and Dependency Injection patterns
  • Experience contributing to legacy modernization or decommissioning efforts
  • Experience contributing to test automation strategy or execution
  • Familiarity with accessibility design philosophy and best practices for federal web applications
  • Prior experience in a federal/government contracting environment, especially NIH or HHS
  • Experience working in Jira or similar project management platform

Additional information

  • An inclusive workplace that promotes diversity and collaboration.
  • Access to ongoing learning and development opportunities.
  • Competitive compensation and benefits package.
  • Flexibility to support work-life balance.
  • Comprehensive health benefits for you and your family.
  • Generous paid leave and holidays.
  • Wellness program and employee assistance.

Pay Range: $115,000-$165,000
