• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical design sessions.
• Troubleshoot application issues, perform root cause analysis, and deliver timely resolutions.
• Contribute to sprint planning, technical estimations, and Agile delivery ceremonies.
• Maintain thorough technical documentation for new and existing systems.

Requirements

Microsoft Full Stack

• Strong hands-on experience with .NET 6.x to 10.x.
• MVC architecture and Entity Framework / EF Core.
• WebAPI and REST Services development.
• Microservices architecture — design, communication patterns; containerization knowledge is a plus.
• LINQ, asynchronous programming (async/await), and dependency injection.
• SQL Server — stored procedures, indexing, and performance tuning.
• Hangfire — background jobs, task scheduling, retries, and monitoring.

Frontend Skills

• JavaScript (native), jQuery, and AngularJS.
• HTML5, CSS3, and Bootstrap.
• Blazor (Server and WebAssembly) — component-driven frontend development.

Nice to Haves

• Experience with containerization platforms such as Docker or Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with Azure services and cloud-based deployments.
• Background in public safety, government technology, or ATE systems.
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.

Educational Qualification

• Bachelor’s in Engineering / Master’s in Computer Science.

Non-Technical Skills

• Excellent written and verbal communication.
• Analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Exude a strong sense of teamwork while working with internal and external teams.
• Demonstrated ability to work on multiple projects at one time in a fast-paced, demanding environment.
• Work with management and implementation teams to understand business requirements.

AI & Technology

AI-assisted development is a core expectation for this role. Elovate's engineering team actively integrates AI tools into daily development practice to accelerate delivery, improve code quality, and reduce technical debt.

• Integrate AI-assisted development workflows using GitHub Copilot and Claude Code as part of daily development practice.
• Use AI tools to accelerate code generation, refactoring, unit test creation, and documentation.
• Apply prompt engineering techniques to get more accurate and useful outputs from AI coding assistants.
• Use AI-powered code review and analysis tools to identify performance issues, security vulnerabilities, and code quality improvements.
• Stay current on AI developments in the .NET and full stack ecosystem, bringing relevant tools and practices to the team.
• Apply critical engineering judgment to all AI-generated code — always reviewing, testing, and validating outputs before merging to production.
