Remote Senior Software Engineer — Azure​/.NET​/SQL

Position: (Remote) Senior Software Engineer — Azure /.NET / SQL
A division of Harris, Globys, we're looking for a Senior SDE to join a small, high-ownership engineering team and play a central role in modernizing our mission-critical platform — migrating and re-architecting legacy .NET/SQL Server systems to Azure. The technical challenge here is real: massive data scale, demanding performance requirements, and an opportunity to challenge conventional thinking about how cloud migration gets done.

You'll own the detailed design and development of entire projects — translating high-level architectural direction into concrete technical decisions, system designs, and working code. This is not a greenfield role: you'll work hands-on with existing codebases, decompose monolithic architectures, containerize workloads, and drive cloud adoption across a complex, data-intensive environment. We operate with a small-company mindset — autonomy, ownership, minimal hand-holding — but with the quality and performance standards of a much larger organization.

Salary: 135k-190k CAD 80k-140k USD This remote role welcomes candidates anywhere in Canada and Costa Rica. What your impact will be:
* Modernize our platform — Migrate our .NET Framework / ASP.NET / IIS platform to modern .NET and Azure, breaking monolithic architectures into microservices or modular designs.
* Architect and build — Design secure, scalable APIs and microservices across hybrid and Azure environments, leveraging PaaS and serverless capabilities.
* Own the data layer — Optimize multi-terabyte SQL Server databases on-prem and in Azure. Tune queries, manage indexing and partitioning, and plan large-scale data migrations.
* Build integrations & pipelines — Design and maintain complex data pipelines, migrating on-prem patterns to Azure using Data Factory, Integration Services, and Event Hubs.
* Containerize workloads — Move existing .NET workloads into Docker and Kubernetes (AKS), establishing patterns for the team.
* Leverage AI across the SDLC — Apply AI tools to accelerate requirements, code generation, testing, and code review.
* Elevate the team — As a senior IC, informally mentor peers on technical skills and career growth. Collaborate with Product Owners and cross-functional teams to shape technical direction. What we are looking for:
* 8+ years building complex software on the Microsoft stack (.NET / C#) with deep hands-on SQL Server experience at multi-terabyte scale — stored procedures, query plan analysis, index optimization, partitioning, and performance tuning. We're looking for someone who brings confidence and depth in these core technologies and can hit the ground running.
* Hands-on legacy modernization experience — migrating .NET Framework apps to modern .NET, refactoring monoliths, and re-platforming n-tier architectures.
* Strong Azure experience across compute, integration, data, security, and observability. We use or plan to use services such as App Service, Functions, API Management, Event Hubs, Service Bus, Data Factory, Azure SQL, Blob Storage, Key Vault, Entra , and Application Insights. You don't need deep expertise in all of them, but you shouldn't be starting from scratch either.
* Experience containerizing existing .NET applications with Docker and Kubernetes (AKS).
* Comfortable working in hybrid environments spanning on-prem and Azure.
* BS/MS in CS, Engineering, or related field — or equivalent experience. What would make you stand out:
* Understanding of LLM fundamentals, vector databases, and agentic system design (Azure OpenAI Service, AI Search, Semantic Kernel, etc.).
* Experience with data lakes/lakehouses, Databricks, Cosmos DB, Postgre

SQL on Azure, serverless architectures, or Redis Cache.
* Experience with modern SSO and federated identity — SAML, OAuth/OIDC, and integration with enterprise identity providers. What we can offer:
* 3 weeks' vacation and 5 personal days
* Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits starting from your first day of employment
* Employee stock ownership and RRSP/401k matching programs
* Lifestyle rewards
* Remote work and more! About Harris:
