The Role

We’re looking for an experienced developer who thrives on autonomy and wants to make a real impact. You’ll join our TMT Technology team at Trip Arc, where you’ll modernize a mature travel platform—decomposing legacy .NET systems into Azure-native microservices while keeping the business running smoothly.

This role involves owning problems end-to-end: digging into complex business logic in existing codebases, designing solutions that bridge old and new, and shipping code that serves thousands of travel professionals daily. You may untangle decade-old stored procedures or architect event-driven services on Azure. We seek someone who finds that variety energizing.

You’ll work within our Agile framework—two-week sprints, daily stand-ups, and the usual ceremonies—but you’ll drive your own work. You’ll collaborate directly with QA, Product, and stakeholders to clarify requirements, push back when timelines don’t make sense, and help teammates when they’re stuck. Documentation matters: we use JIRA and Confluence extensively, and your tickets and design docs should be clear enough for anyone to pick up where you left off.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and deploy features across our stack—from legacy Web Forms applications to modern .NET Core microservices running on Kubernetes.
• Lead migration efforts, breaking down monolithic components into loosely-coupled services while maintaining system reliability.
• Write and optimize complex SQL queries and stored procedures; work with Mongo
  
  DB for document storage where appropriate.
• Build and maintain event-driven integrations using NService
  
  Bus and Azure Service Bus.
• Collaborate with Product and QA to scope work, estimate effort, and balance competing priorities within sprint commitments.
• Own your deliverables through the full lifecycle: design, implementation, testing, deployment via Azure Pipelines, and production support.
• Contribute to architectural decisions and help establish patterns that the broader team can follow.
• Support fellow developers through code reviews, pair programming, and knowledge sharing—elevating the whole team's capabilities.
• Maintain clear documentation in Confluence and keep JIRA tickets updated so the team has visibility into progress and blockers.

What We’re Looking For

Technical Skills

• 5+ years working with C# and the .NET ecosystem, with hands-on experience in both .NET Framework and .NET Core.
• Strong SQL Server skills—comfortable writing complex queries, optimizing performance, and working with large, intricate database schemas.
• Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs and working with Entity Framework or similar ORMs.

Nice to have

• Mongo
  
  DB experience
• Familiarity with message-based architectures; NService
  
  Bus or Azure Service Bus experience is preferred.
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines, ideally Azure Pipelines or similar tools.
• Working knowledge of containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) in a cloud environment.
• Angular experience is a plus if you’re interested in occasional front-end work, but this role is primarily backend-focused.

How You Work

• You take initiative. When you see a problem, you investigate it. When requirements are ambiguous, you ask the right questions or make reasonable assumptions and move forward.
• You communicate clearly—whether explaining a technical tradeoff to a Product Manager, documenting a design decision, or helping a junior developer understand a concept.
• You’re comfortable with ambiguity and can make progress without every detail spelled out.
• You balance speed with quality, knowing when to…
