Job Description:

Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not. Sora Union changes that.

Sora Union is a globally distributed professional services company that specializes in Design, Software Engineering, QA. Our experienced talent comes from communities where there is displacement or risk of displacement due to conflict or climate change. We provide services to global companies and start-ups across various industries, including healthcare, financial services, technology, and education.

We are looking for a Senior .NET Developer with 5+ years of experience to join our distributed team of creative professionals. Your technical skills, passion for programming, and ability to navigate both front-end and back-end technologies will greatly enhance our team's ability to deliver innovative solutions. We look forward to having you on board!

You'll be responsible for:

• Design, develop, and implement front-end interfaces and backend solutions.
• Work closely with project managers and other team members to meet project requirements, deadlines, and schedules.
• Develop robust, scalable software that can handle high volumes of traffic.
• Collaborate in cross-functional teams to define, design, and implement new features.
• Participate in code reviews to uphold high-quality code and design standards.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience as a Full Stack Developer.
• A strong understanding of C#, its syntax, object-oriented programming (OOP) principles (encapsulation, inheritance, abstraction, polymorphism), and advanced features (async/await, LINQ) is crucial.
• .NET Framework/.NET Core/.NET: Understanding the different versions and their nuances is important. Many projects are now using .NET (formerly .NET Core) for its cross-platform capabilities and performance benefits.
• ASP.NET (MVC/Core) and Web Development: Familiarity with ASP.NET for building web APIs, web applications, or microservices is essential. Knowledge of client-side technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and frameworks like Angular, React, or Vue.js is also highly valuable for full-stack roles.

• Version Control: Proficiency with Git (and platforms like GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket) is standard for collaborative development.
• API Development: Understanding how to build and consume RESTful APIs is vital for integrating different systems.
• Unit Testing and Debugging: The ability to write and execute unit tests (using frameworks like NUnit, xUnit, MSTest) and effectively debug code is a sign of a quality-focused developer.
• Cloud Platforms (especially Azure): As cloud adoption grows, experience with Microsoft Azure services (Web Apps, Azure Functions, Azure Storage, Azure DevOps) is increasingly in demand.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work in a collaborative team environment.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
