Position Overview
As a Senior Staff Software Engineer, you will serve as a key technical authority within the engineering team. You will be instrumental in shaping the architecture and technical direction of our cutting-edge Data Security SaaS Platform, driving excellence from front-end interfaces to backend services and databases.

This role demands a deep technical background in C# and the .NET ecosystem, coupled with expertise in modern front-end technologies and APIs. You will be responsible for leading complex technical initiatives, coordinating implementation research and design, and ensuring the highest quality of code produced by the team. You'll partner closely with Product Management to refine functional and non-functional requirements, translating them into robust, scalable technical solutions that align with the company's strategic vision. This is an excellent opportunity for a forward-thinking individual who thrives on solving problems, mentoring peers, and driving significant technical impact in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Architectural Leadership & Design:

  • Lead and drive complex architectural and system design discussions for our SaaS platform, ensuring solutions are scalable, resilient, secure, and align with the long-term technical vision.

  • Architect and guide the development of applications using C# and .NET, with modern front-end interfaces built with JavaScript/TypeScript and React.
  • Design robust, extensible RESTful APIs and oversee their integration with internal and third-party services.

  • Technical Strategy & Innovation:

  • Translate high-level business objectives and product vision into clear technical strategies and actionable roadmaps.

  • Lead and coordinate technical research, spikes, and proof-of-concepts for new technologies, architectural patterns, and agentic AI capabilities, guiding the team towards innovative and impactful solutions.
  • Actively manage technical debt and advocate for strategic engineering investments that enhance the long-term velocity, reliability, and security of the SaaS platform.
  • Foster technical alignment and collaboration across multiple engineering teams, identifying and driving initiatives that improve inter-team dependencies and overall platform cohesion.
  • Serve as a technical mentor and coach within the engineering organization, actively developing the skills and capabilities of senior and staff-level engineers.

  • Quality & Operational Excellence:

  • Serve as a champion for code quality and consistency across engineering teams, establishing and promoting best practices, and providing constructive, growth-oriented feedback through rigorous code reviews.

  • Drive continuous improvement in deployment processes, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps practices, advocating for automation and operational excellence across the platform.
  • Act as a technical escalation point for the most complex production issues, leading root cause analysis and driving the implementation of robust, long-term solutions.

  • Hands-on Contribution:

  • Contribute hands-on to critical path development, foundational components, and strategic proof-of-concepts, ensuring adherence to the highest standards of clean, maintainable, and testable code.

Qualifications

  • Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience
  • Deep experience with Microsoft Azure cloud services (App Services, AKS, Azure Functions, Cosmos DB, Service Bus, etc.).
  • Strong expertise in .NET Core / .NET 6+, C#, and related frameworks.
  • In-depth knowledge and hands-on experience with microservices design patterns, API gateways, service mesh, and container orchestration (preferably Kubernetes / AKS).
  • Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code (Terraform), and DevOps practices.
  • Proficiency in designing multi-tenant SaaS applications with considerations for security, cost, and performance.
  • Strong background in RESTful APIs, event-driven architectures, message queues (e.g., Azure Service Bus, Kafka), and distributed systems.
  • Experience with observability tools like Application Insights, Prometheus, Grafana, or Azure Monitor.
  • Proven track record of designing, building, and maintaining scalable, high-performance, and secure cloud-based SaaS products.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Azure Solutions Architect certification (AZ-305 or AZ-303/304).
  • Experience with other cloud providers (AWS, GCP) is a plus, but Azure is primary.
  • Prior experience with enterprise-grade security, compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA), and multi-tenant architecture.
  • Familiarity or experience with AI/ML concepts, particularly agentic AI or natural language processing, and their application in software products.
  • Familiarity with front-end frameworks (e.g., React) is a bonus.
  • Contributions to open source projects or active GitHub presence.
