● Tooling and Automation: Use AI-enhanced tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude, and Cursor to boost productivity. Help adopt CI/CD pipelines and static analysis tools across the codebase.
● Collaboration: Partner with senior engineers, QA, support, and product managers to ship secure, performant, and user-centric features.
● Security and Compliance: Follow best practices for secure development, encryption, and HIPAA-aligned data handling.

Qualifications:

● Expert knowledge of the intricacies of WPF development. Has designed or refactored large-scale WPF applications. Fluent in MVVM, custom controls, data templating, styles and themes, dependency properties, and performance profiling.
● Strong grasp of modern architectural patterns including MVVM, async programming, dependency injection, and modular design.
● Demonstrated success working on large, legacy codebases and evolving them toward modern standards.
● Experience with SQL (MySQL/MariaDB preferred), connection pooling, and data access performance optimization.
● Familiarity with GitHub-based workflows, unit testing (xUnit/NUnit), and Agile/Scrum practices.
● Comfortable with tools like GitHub, SonarQube, dotnet format, and Semgrep.

Nice to Have:
● Experience with Electron, Mobile App Dev or web-based .NET apps.
● Familiarity with frontend technologies such as TypeScript, Vue.js, or React.
● Exposure to Redis, Docker, or Kubernetes in cloud-native environments.
● Healthcare or EHR system experience, especially with HIPAA-compliant software.
