About the Role
As a .NET Developer on our Lottery Solutions team, you’ll build and maintain the reliable web-based solutions our lottery clients and the people who use their digital platforms depend on. You’ll own application modules end to end, from technical definition through development, testing and release, working alongside back-end, front-end, mobile, QA, business analysis, architecture and IT teammates to turn client needs into secure, maintainable and scalable applications.
This is an individual contributor role. It’s a strong fit if you like solving practical business problems, learning from senior technical teammates, and shipping production-quality work in a collaborative agency environment. You’ll deepen your .NET expertise, strengthen your understanding of modern delivery practices, and contribute to solutions running in highly visible, regulated client environments where reliability and security really matter.
Key Responsibilities
- Implement application modules based on provided specifications, and contribute to maintaining product quality through code reviews and self-assessment.
- Analyze and estimate small technical tasks, and perform updates and maintenance on existing code.
- Support nontechnical staff in understanding straightforward client requirements, and help them see what is and is not feasible.
- Develop, integrate and consume APIs, and build against relational databases with an eye on performance.
- Build technical expertise through work experience and training, collaborating with senior team members to deliver reliable and efficient solutions.
- Work within a multidisciplinary team made up of technical and nontechnical members.
- Participate in solution brainstorming and help identify the best approach to delivering against client needs and requirements.
- Support DevOps and deployment work, including GitLab repositories, merge requests, CI/CD pipelines and controlled production releases.
- Write and maintain technical documentation, including solution specifications, API documentation, deployment procedures and code documentation that supports long-term maintainability.
- Assist with project estimation, planning and milestone tracking, providing accurate effort estimates so projects are delivered on time and within scope.
- Research emerging technologies, AI-assisted development techniques and industry trends, sharing what you learn and recommending improvements to our development practices.
