Overview
We’re looking for a focused and experienced Software Developer to help maintain and evolve a mature, math- and data-intensive Windows application built on .NET Framework 4.8. The current product is a Windows client backed by a cloud-hosted SQL Server database (AWS), and we’re planning a strategic migration to a future web-based architecture. This role requires deep C# expertise, an eye for performance, and strong software engineering fundamentals—not a jack-of-all-trades, but a disciplined practitioner.
Key Responsibilities
- Maintain and enhance a .NET Framework 4.8 WinForms desktop application.
- Windows Communication Foundation.
- Optimize performance of MS SQL Server database.
- Hosting services on AWS.
- Ensure software meets GDPR compliance and cybersecurity best practices.
- Design and implement modern authentication approaches (OAuth2, OpenID Connect, etc.).
- Lead architectural planning and migration strategy for a future web-based application.
- Build or extend a CI/CD pipeline to improve testing and delivery workflows.
- Develop and maintain reusable code modules serving similar workflows across multiple user types.
- Produce clear, high-quality graphical outputs and data visualizations.
- Apply A/B testing and user feedback mechanisms to simplify and refine user workflows.
- Integrate AI-assisted tools to improve developer productivity.
- Utilize OpenCV or similar tools for image processing tasks as needed.
- Experience in Material UI, React or similar providing a modern web app experience.

Tech Fit Considerations
This role is ideal for a developer who brings a clear vision for continuous innovation and improvement. You should be comfortable working within a well-defined tech stack while identifying long-term opportunities to modernize and scale the product.
