Solution Architect/Tech Lead

Our CMS Portal Ecosystem is a sophisticated, distributed platform where a high-performance .NET 8 BFF orchestrates an array of specialized microservices. We treat Infrastructure as Code (IaC) as a first-class citizen and employ a Polyglot Persistence strategy to handle complex tenant relationships and high-volume data streams. In this role, you aren't just a developer or an architect; you are the owner of the entire technical lifecycle.Your Equal Pillars of Responsibility: 1. The Logic: Advanced .NET & Security • Own the evolution of our .NET 8 BFF and microservices architecture. • Lead the identity layer, navigating the complexities of Entra ID (Azure AD) to ensure secure, seamless communication between frontends, the BFF, and internal services. • Standardize clean code patterns, from FluentValidation logic to custom serialization and localization. 2. The Cloud: Bicep & Automation • Architect and maintain the Bicep templates that define our entire infrastructure, ensuring total environment parity between Dev and Prod. • Evolve our multi-stage YAML pipelines to ensure deployments are fast, secure, and fully automated. • Enforce "Secure by Default" infrastructure using Managed Identities and Key Vault secret injection. 3. The Data: Relational & NoSQL Strategy • Lead the design of our hybrid storage layer, choosing the right tool (SQL Server, Azure Table Storage, or Blob Storage) for the right problem. • Design high-performance messaging patterns using Azure Service Bus to orchestrate data flow across the ecosystem. • Ensure data security and durability are baked into the infrastructure through automated provisioning and access policies. What We Are Looking For: • The Hybrid Expert: You are equally comfortable writing a complex .NET Controller, debugging a Bicep deployment error, or designing a NoSQL partition strategy. • The Identity Pro: You have navigated the "dark corners" of MSAL and Entra ID and can explain the difference between WebApp and WebAPI authentication flows. • The Automation Advocate: You believe that any manual change in the Azure Portal is a "bug" and should be corrected in Bicep. • Technical Stack Highlights: • Languages/Frameworks: .NET 8, Web API, EF Core. • Infrastructure: Azure Bicep, Azure Pipelines (YAML), PowerShell. • Security: Entra ID, Managed Identities, Key Vault. • Data/Messaging: SQL Server, Azure Table Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Azure Service Bus. What We Offer: • A truly "Architecture-First" environment where you have full control over both the code and the infrastructure it runs on. • The opportunity to build a modern, multi-tenant system using a best-in-class tech stack. • A culture that values technical depth across the entire stack—from the first line of C# to the last line of Bicep.
