Role: Lead Full Stack .NET Developer
Duration: 6 month contract to hire
Location: Irvine, CA (5 days a week on-site)
- 7-8 years total experience - C#/.NET Core (versions 8-10)
- True full stack - front end and back end equally strong; candidates who are all BE or all FE are a no
- Microservices, SQL Server, business analyst partnership
- Cloud-native experience required - no cloud-native experience is a hard no (Azure preferred; still confirming if Azure specifically is required)
- Containers as primary deployment model
- React preferred; significant legacy Angular in the environment - strong Angular devs are acceptable, HM believes they'll transition to React (Flutter nice-to-have)
- Hands-on experience using AI coding tools - they run Claude Code and OpenCode today; Copilot also counts; goal is using AI tools, not building AI apps
- Must be smarter than the tool - knows when the AI got it wrong and course-corrects; produces with it and analyzes/fixes the output. HM tests this by going project by project: what tools were used, how the candidate judged the limits of the AI output, and what the app's features are
- Technical leadership in design, architecture, implementation, and deployment across both on-prem and cloud-native environments
- Adaptability
Scope:
- Hands-on coding (about 75% of the time) - full-stack work in .NET/C# on the back end and TypeScript/React/Angular on the front end
- Using AI coding tools (Claude Code, OpenCode, Copilot) to build, then reviewing and fixing what the AI produces
- Architecture and design (about 25%) - shaping how apps get migrated to the cloud and how new builds are put together
- Moving legacy apps from on-prem to cloud, and rebuilding parts of them as cloud-native
- Guiding other developers, both FTEs and onshore/offshore contractors, on technical direction and best practices
- Working with BAs to turn requirements into solutions
- Running 2-week sprints in Agile
- Presenting solutions at the weekly review with Bryan
- Supporting and improving the ~10 apps they own, including integrations with Anthology, Canvas, Core LMS and Salesforce
