The ideal candidate has a willingness to learn new technologies and stay updated with industry trends and has a strong attention to detail, excellent time management skills and the ability to handle multiple projects and deadlines at the same time.

RESPONSIBILITIES
  • System Architecture, Development:
    • Design, implement, and maintain new features for the power scheduling application, adhering to established Clean Architecture and Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles. Build and maintain data models and mapping relationships between several systems to support power flow studies and other automation efforts, aligning models where practical.
    • Back-End Development: Build and maintain CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) command and query handlers in the application layer. Implement and manage domain event propagation and integrate scheduled jobs.
  • Front-End Development:
    • Develop and extend Angular components and services for sophisticated, operator-facing and customer-facing web portals used for data entry and operational monitoring.
  • Databases:
    • Write and optimize complex SQL Server queries, stored procedures, and schema migrations within a multi-schema database environment. Facilitate data integrity and performance for high-volume transactional workloads.
  • Business Analysis and Collaboration:
    • Participate in requirements analysis sessions with domain experts. Translate complex power scheduling business rules from functional specifications into a robust and maintainable domain model. Work collaboratively with users and technical staff to design streamlined user interfaces. Interpret design requirements and assist in technical design on related projects.
  • Code Quality and Testing:
    • Contribute to rigorous peer code reviews with a focus on correctness, performance, and adherence to architectural patterns. Maintain and extend the comprehensive unit and integration test suites. Design, develop, test and deploy n-tier C# .Net applications utilizing the .Net 10 framework
  • Scripting and Automation:
    • Use scripting languages like PowerShell for tool automation and efficient task management.
  • System Integration and Support:
    • Debug production and pre-production issues across the full stack (API, application layer, data layer, SQL Server). Provide technical assistance to effectively resolve issues. Collaborate with integration teams on REST and WCF service contracts for data exchange. Analyze, test, and apply changes to the application environment under the prevailing change management procedures and requirements. Identify or resolve problems in applications at all system tiers (Application, Server, Database, and Network). Analyze data, identify quality assurance/quality control issues, and identify failure or maintenance trends, including issues that may have origins in upstream systems. Plan, coordinate, and implement system security measures to protect data, software, and hardware. Monitor system performance to determine whether adjustments need to be made, and to determine where changes will need to be made in the future.
