The Role

We are seeking a Lead Backend Engineer who is passionate about database modernization, performance optimization, and strategic refactoring of mission-critical systems. You will be a key member of the DPS Core & Data Engine Squad, working on the system-of-record platform that powers both internal (DPS) and external (IES) claims management experiences supporting millions of transactions and billions of dollars in claims.

This is a modernization engineering role for someone who gets excited about: • Refactoring complex stored procedures and carving out domain logic into maintainable services • Optimizing SQL performance and improving system efficiency • Creating safe migration patterns that enable continuous modernization while maintaining business continuity • Working in .NET codebases and evolving them into clean, testable, domain-aligned modules

If you love the challenge of strategic system evolution and want to participate in evolving the technical architecture of a multi-year transformation from monolithic database logic to service-oriented architecture—this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities:

Database Engineering & Modernization (60%)

Stored procedure refactoring: Analyze, optimize, and decompose complex stored procedures into smaller, testable, well-documented units

  • Performance engineering: Query tuning, indexing strategy, execution plan analysis, optimizing data access patterns
  • Schema evolution: Design backward-compatible schema changes with safe rollout/rollback patterns
  • Migration seams: Create facades, wrappers, and anti-corruption layers around stored procedures to enable gradual extraction of business logic into services

Legacy .NET Modernization (30%)

  • Refactor .NET Framework code supporting DPS workflows into maintainable, testable modules
  • Implement strangler fig patterns to incrementally move logic from database service layer while maintaining production stability
  • Build domain-aligned modules/services with clear contracts that enable the Domain & Services Squad to extract capabilities
  • Establish patterns for dependency injection, observability, and error handling in established .NET codebases

Operational Excellence (10%)

  • Implement performance baselines, regression detection, and alerting for data-intensive workflows
  • Participate in incident response for data/performance-related production issues
  • Create diagnostic tooling and runbooks to reduce time-to-resolution
  • Collaborate with SRE/DevOps on deployment safety (blue/green, feature flags, canary releases for schema changes)

Requirements:

Technical Skills

  • 8+ years of professional software development experience in object-oriented languages (C#/.NET required)
  • Expert-level SQL Server knowledge (SQL Server 2019):
  • Advanced query optimization (execution plans, index tuning, query hints)
  • Stored procedure, function, and trigger development/refactoring
  • Database design and normalization
  • Performance tuning at scale (multi-million row tables, complex joins, aggregations)
  • Understanding of indexing strategies (clustered, non-clustered, filtered, columnstore)
  • SQL Agent jobs and automated workflow patterns
  • Transaction isolation levels, locking, and concurrency management
  • C# and .NET Framework/.NET Core (legacy and modern)
  • Experience refactoring established systems while maintaining production stability
  • SQL source control (migrations, version control for schema/stored procedures)

Highly Desired:

  • Experience with strangler fig, anti-corruption layer, and facade patterns in practice
  • Hands-on experience migrating logic from stored procedures → service layer in production systems
  • Familiarity with domain-driven design (DDD) concepts (bounded contexts, aggregates, repositories)
  • Azure SQL Database, Azure DevOps experience
  • Observability tools (Application Insights, SQL Profiler)
  • API design and versioning (REST, OpenAPI/Swagger)
  • Unit testing frameworks (xUnit, NUnit) and test data builder patterns
  • PowerShell for database scripting/automation
  • Experience with microservices architecture and event-driven patterns
  • Familiarity with Entity Framework Core, Dapper, or other ORMs (and knowing when to use native SQL)

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
