• Orchestrate asynchronous event-driven communications between these microservices using Azure Service Bus, RabbitMQ or similar message broker systems.


• Decompose current monolithic applications and services into scalable, low-latency microservices that are containerized using Docker and deployed on Kubernetes clusters.


• Build and maintain application projects using Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Git repositories and deploy them to various environments using automated CI/CD pipelines and processes in TFS, Azure DevOps and GitHub.


• High level proficiency in writing unit-tests and integration-tests using xUnit (or a similar framework), writing and maintaining a healthy test-suite with a good amount of code coverage for all code that’s produced, at all times.


• Address cross-cutting concerns in the development efforts such as centralized logging, monitoring, alerting, and develop technical solutions to handle these efficiently within the application.


• Build application persistence layers using MongoDB (or a similar NoSQL datastore) for situations that require them.


• Participate in standups, code and design reviews, including testing to ensure adherence to the latest coding practices and industry/company standards.

• Real-world experience in building applications with technologies such as Docker (Linux containers), Kubernetes and deployment platforms such as AKS.


• Experience with CI/CD platforms/tools such as TFS, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions.
