.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.
