.NET Solution Architect (Hands-On)
Experience: 9+ years
Location : Trivandrum, Kochi, Chennai, Bangalore
Job Summary
Own the end-to-end technical architecture of our enterprise .NET applications while remaining hands-on in development. The role combines architectural ownership with practical engineering, requiring proven experience in distributed systems design, cloud platforms, and applying AI technologies in production software.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and own end-to-end architecture: service boundaries, data models, integration patterns, deployment topology.
- Stay hands-on — reference implementations, technical spikes, critical-path code, and cross-team code reviews.
- Set and enforce non-functional requirements: performance, scalability, availability, security, and operating cost.
- Drive AI-assisted development across the team and guide how AI/LLM services are integrated into applications.
- Lead cloud adoption and modernisation, including migration of legacy .NET Framework workloads.
- Produce architecture decision records, technical documentation, and engineering standards.
- Mentor senior engineers and raise the standard of technical design across engineering.
Technical Skills (Mandatory)
- Languages/Frameworks: C#, .NET 8/9, Entity Framework Core.
- Architecture: Microservices, modular monolith, DDD, event-driven, CQRS, REST, gRPC, resilience patterns (circuit breaker, retry, bulkhead).
- Cloud: Azure (App Service, Functions, Container Apps, AKS, Storage, Key Vault, API Management) or equivalent depth in AWS/GCP.
- Messaging: Deep knowledge of one platform — Service Bus, Kafka, or RabbitMQ.
- Databases/Caching: One relational + non-relational store (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Cosmos DB), Redis, query optimisation.
- AI/ML: Azure OpenAI, Semantic Kernel, RAG, vector search (Azure AI Search/pgvector), prompt engineering, agentic workflows, tool/function calling, MCP.
- DevOps: Docker, CI/CD (Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions), IaC concepts (Bicep/Terraform).
- Security: OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, JWT, secrets management, OWASP Top 10.
Experience Requirements
- Proven ownership of end-to-end architecture for production systems at scale.
- Substantial hands-on development experience — this is not a documentation-only role.
- Demonstrated use of AI tools in daily development and building/integrating AI/LLM-enabled features.
- In-depth production experience with at least one major cloud platform (Azure preferred).
- Experience mentoring senior engineers and leading technical design reviews.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills for both technical and business stakeholders.
