.NET Technical Lead

About the Project
Join our ambitious effort to revolutionize battery recycling. This is a modern, microservice-based system developed on Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) using Dapr actors, Minimal APIs ( .NET), and Vue.js for front-end. The MES platform integrates real-time hardware like barcodescanners, smart scales, and thermal/OAK-D cameras to automate and streamline lithium-ion battery sorting and repurposing.
We are looking for a hands-on .NET Technical Lead to take architectural ownership, mentor a small
engineering team, and ensure smooth technical execution across the backend and infrastructure.

What You Will Do

Technical Leadership

• Own and evolve system architecture, ensuring modularity, scalability, and clean separation of concerns;
• (Domain vs DTO, actor isolation);
• Design and implement backend services using Minimal APIs, Entity Framework Core, and Dapr actors;
• Drive architectural documentation (e.g., HLD, component diagrams, README for Helm/Bicep);
• Review and refactor existing codebases, enforce formatting and testability;
• Create and maintain architecture validation tests (e.g., NetArchTest rules).

Product Owner Support

• Work closely with the client (Product Owner) to gather, clarify, and refine requirements;
• Translate business needs into technical tasks and ensure alignment with the team;
• Help prioritize backlog items and suggest trade-offs between scope, time, and resources;
• Support user story writing, acceptance criteria definition, and release planning;
• Act as the main point of contact between the business side and the development team;
• Support testing, participate in UAT, and ensure that delivered functionality meets business goals.

DevOps & Infrastructure Oversight

• Collaborate on Helm charts and Azure Bicep IaC scripts;
• Set up and maintain CI/CD pipelines for code and infrastructure deployments;
• Monitor application health using Prometheus and Grafana, and expand alerting rules;
• Ensure services are ready for production (HPA, secrets management, autoscaling).

Testing and Code Quality

• Define unit and integration testing strategies;
• Establish test coverage metrics and integrate them into CI pipelines;
• Ensure actor logic is covered by unit tests;
• Support E2E and mock-based frontend testing.

Stakeholder & Product Collaboration

• Work closely with the Product Owner and domain experts to understand user workflows;
• Translate business requirements into technical tasks and user stories;
• Help prioritize backlog and clarify acceptance criteria;
• Participate in UAT and validate that features meet stakeholder goals.

What We’re Looking For

• 6+ years of professional experience with .NET (C#)

Strong experience in:

• Dapr actors and service-to-service messaging;
• .NET 6+/Minimal APIs;
• Entity Framework Core + PostgreSQL;
• Azure Cloud + Kubernetes + Helm;
• DevOps practices (CI/CD pipelines, IaC);
• Solid understanding of distributed system design and system observability;
• Experience with modular monorepo or multi-service structuring;
• Familiar with frontend/backend API integration and micro-frontend architecture (Vue.js familiarity is a bonus);
• Strong testing culture (unit, integration, E2E);
• Excellent English communication skills, both written and verbal.

Nice to Have

• Experience with hardware interaction (e.g., USB/COM peripherals, smart scales, cameras);
• Familiarity with Python for scripting/test automation;
• Awareness of secure development practices and zero trust principles;
• Knowledge of Octopus Deploy or similar for environment-specific service provisioning;
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies is a plus.

What You’ll Get

• Private health insurance;
• Gym/sports subscription reimbursement;
• Education budget (certifications, courses, hardware);
• Weekly 1-hour self-development time ("5 PM Club");
• Flexible working hours.
