• The application environment includes C#, modern .NET, React, Azure App Services, micro-frontends, REST APIs, integrations, and event-driven architecture. The role’s primary focus is bug fixing and small feature development, followed by production investigation and troubleshooting.

Responsibilities

• Investigate production application issues using application logs and approved diagnostic tools.
• Analyze exceptions, REST APIs, service integrations, micro-frontends, asynchronous events, and unexpected application behavior.
• Trace application behavior across React front-end components, .NET services, APIs, Azure App Services, and event-driven components.
• Develop evidence-based findings and identify the appropriate owning team.
• Distinguish between application, configuration, integration, infrastructure, and data-related issues.
• Reproduce software defects and develop safe, focused code corrections.
• Create source-code branches and pull requests, add appropriate unit tests, and participate in code reviews.
• Implement small, well-defined enhancements with documented acceptance criteria and approval from the owning product or domain team.
• Provide completed code changes to the Individual Marketplace domain team for functional testing, release approval, and production deployment.
• Participate primarily in lower-severity incident investigations and provide application-engineering escalation support when needed.
• Assist with higher-severity investigations when requested, while the owning domain and incident-management teams retain leadership responsibility.
• Document investigation findings, probable cause, code changes, testing considerations, risks, and handoff information.
• Collaborate with IT Operations, Product, and Engineering colleagues in India and the United States.
• Use approved AI-assisted development tools to improve investigation, coding, and testing productivity while maintaining security, quality, testing, and code-review standards.

Requirements

• 7+ years of software development, production application support, or a combination of both.
• Strong software-development experience using C# and modern .NET.
• Experience developing and supporting modern .NET applications, REST APIs, application services, and distributed integrations.
• Experience developing or supporting applications deployed through Azure App Services.
• Understanding of event-driven architecture, including asynchronous processing, event consumers, failure handling, and troubleshooting across distributed components.
• Strong understanding of object-oriented design and software-engineering principles.
• Strong application-investigation and problem-solving skills.
• Experience analyzing application logs, exceptions, error messages, and service behavior.
• Ability to trace application behavior across multiple services and develop an evidence-based probable cause.
• Ability to reproduce software defects and translate investigation findings into safe, focused code changes.
• Experience writing and maintaining unit tests.
• Experience with Git-based source control, branches, pull requests, and code reviews.
• Familiarity with SQL and relational database concepts.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
