Responsibilities
Backend .NET Engineer
Job Summary
You’ll join the engineering group delivering across three of our most visible program areas: the Managed Enterprise Services (MES) suite — spanning CCT, CBPC, Document Center, and EAC — the CBA side of AIX, and our Digital Convergence initiative (CVG / MA360). These are interconnected, business-critical applications, so the backend work here is high-leverage and highly visible. What makes this role compelling is how we build, not just what we build. We’re an early adopter of Spec-Driven Development (SDD) using OpenSpec: every change begins from a clear, version-controlled specification that the team — and our AI coding assistants — agree on before a line of code is written. Engineers here shape the spec, not just the implementation, which means less rework, a traceable decision history, and consistent patterns across a large, evolving codebase. As a backend engineer, you’ll own .NET services end-to-end — from authoring the spec to shipping and operating production code — while mentoring teammates and helping mature our SDD practice. If you enjoy modern .NET at real scale, an AI-augmented workflow, and being able to point to systems that matter, this is a strong fit.Job Description
Responsibilities:
- Author and refine OpenSpec artifacts — proposals, requirement specs, design notes, and task breakdowns — and implement against them as the source of truth.
- Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs in C# / ASP.NET Core, including data access with SQL and Entity Framework Core.
- Use AI coding assistants effectively, driven by approved specs, to accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality.
- Write automated tests and ship through CI/CD pipelines; support deployment and operation of services in the cloud.
- Review peers’ specs and code, mentor less-experienced engineers, and help mature the team’s SDD practice.
- Collaborate with product, QA, and other engineering teams to translate ambiguous requirements into precise, buildable specifications.
- Collaborating with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and integrate innovative software solutions that align with business needs
- Conducting analysis of system requirements and the customization of applications to ensure optimal functionality
- Assisting with the software update process for existing applications and roll-outs of software releases
- Mentoring junior engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and shared knowledge within the team
- Engaging with Quality Assurance to verify that software meets technical specifications and delivering high-quality, reliable applications
- Troubleshooting and resolving complex technical issues in software applications and systems
- Synthesizing market research and industry trends to inform project strategies and enhance product offerings
- Conducting training sessions for operational staff to ensure effective use of internally developed applications
- Consistent exercise of independent judgment and discretion in matters of significance.
- Regular, consistent and punctual attendance.
- Other duties and responsibilities as assigned.

- Experience designing REST APIs and working with relational databases (SQL, EF Core).

- Comfort with — or strong aptitude for — spec-first / specification-driven workflows; direct OpenSpec or comparable SDD experience is a plus.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills. Able to effectively handle ambiguity well, provides thoughtful code feedback, and actively supports and mentors teammates to elevate overall team performance.
- Experience with AI-native development tools, such as OpenSpec or comparable frameworks (e.g., GitHub Spec Kit), with the ability to leverage these tools to drive efficient specification, development, and collaboration workflows.
