About this role
AI-Native Software Engineer Role
We are hiring an AI-native software engineer who treats large language models, copilots, and agentic workflows as core parts of their development environment, not optional add-ons. You will design, build, and refactor production systems in .NET/C#, while using the latest AI tooling to dramatically increase speed, quality, and leverage. You are not just a developer. You are an architect, systems thinker, and automation builder.
What “AI-Native” Means Here
This is not just “comfortable with GitHub Copilot/Claude Code/Codex.” You:
Use AI daily to generate, refactor, test, document, and review code. Build internal AI agents and workflows to automate repetitive engineering tasks.Design systems assuming AI components will exist in the architecture. Know when AI is wrong - and can spot hallucinations instantly. Continuously experiment with new tools and replace old workflows aggressively.
Responsibilities
1. Architect and Build Scalable Systems
Design and implement high-quality backend systems in .NET and C#. Build modular, testable, maintainable architectures. Make sound trade-offs between performance, maintainability, and speed of delivery. Refactor legacy systems intelligently (not cosmetically).2. Leverage AI Across the SDLC
Use LLMs and code-generation tools to: o Draft and refactor production code
o Generate unit/integration tests
o Create migration scripts
o Perform static analysis and code reviews
o Produce technical documentation
Build internal AI assistants for: o Log analysis
o Support ticket triage
o Codebase navigation
o Technical debt discovery
Continuously optimize development workflows using AI.3. Own Architecture Decisions
Design APIs (REST, event-driven, microservices where appropriate). Work with cloud-native patterns (Azure preferred). Integrate AI services into production systems. Evaluate when to build vs. buy vs. automate.4. Raise the Bar
Set standards for AI-assisted development. Mentor other engineers in AI-native workflows. Push for measurable productivity gains. Eliminate manual processes wherever possible.Technical Requirements
Core Stack
Strong experience with:
.NETC#ASP.NET Core / .NET Web APIsSolid understanding of:
Entity Framework / ORM patternsSQL and database designClean architecture principlesDependency injectionTesting frameworks (xUnit, NUnit, etc.)Cloud & DevOps
Azure experience preferredCI/CD pipelinesInfrastructure as Code familiarityObservability (logging, tracing, monitoring)AI & Automation
Hands-on experience with:
LLM APIsCode copilots and AI IDE toolingPrompt engineering for engineering workflowsExperience building:
AI-assisted toolsInternal bots or automation agentsUnderstanding of:
Model limitationsCost-performance trade-offsGuardrails and reliabilityWhat We're Looking For
1. Technical Depth
You can:
Read a 200k+ LOC codebase and map it quicklyIdentify architectural rot fastMake systems simpler, not more complex2. Speed with Judgment
You move fast but you don't create messes others have to clean up.
3. AI Skeptic + Optimist
You:
Aggressively use AIBut never blindly trust itKnow how to validate outputsTreat AI as a junior developer that needs supervision4. Builder Mentality
You don't wait for perfect specs. You prototype, validate, iterate.
Nice to Have
Experience modernizing legacy .NET Framework systemsExperience integrating AI into enterprise workflowsBackground in regulated or compliance-heavy industriesFrontend experience (React/Blazor) a plus but not mandatoryHow We Measure Success
Within 6–12 months, you will:
Increase engineering throughput measurably using AI-assisted workflowsReduce technical debt through intelligent refactoringShip production-grade AI-enhanced featuresHelp build an engineering culture where AI is standard, not experimentalDeliver more output per engineer without compromising system integrityAbout the Team
