[Hiring] Backend Software Developer @CAI Software, LLC

Role Description

We are seeking a backend developer experienced with .NET Core to design, build, and operate microservice-based systems for ShopVue Cloud (Manufacturing Execution System). The role emphasizes reliable, observable services using event sourcing, containerization, and modern deployment practices.

• Location: Remote, United States
• Total Experience Required: 4+ years building backend systems with .NET Core (ASP.NET Core) in production.

Qualifications

• Proven experience designing microservice architectures and applying domain-driven design.
• Hands-on experience with event sourcing and CQRS; familiarity with event stores or streaming platforms (RabbitMQ, etc.).
• Practical experience with Dapr and containerized applications (Docker); familiarity with Kubernetes.
• Strong skills with SQL and NoSQL databases and distributed data patterns (sagas, compensating transactions).
• Experience designing reliable APIs and integration patterns.
• Strong testing discipline and experience with CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience in MES, industrial, or SaaS products is highly desirable.

Requirements

• Experience with EventStoreDB, Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar streaming/event systems.
• Knowledge of identity/auth (OAuth2/OIDC), API gateways, and service mesh concepts.
• Experience profiling, tuning, and scaling backend services.
• Familiarity with ML/AI platforms and tooling.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and operate scalable microservices using .NET Core and C#.
• Apply domain-driven design; implement event sourcing and CQRS to model domain events and workflows.
• Define and implement REST APIs and collaborate on integration contracts.
• Containerize services with Docker, build optimized images, and integrate containers into CI/CD and orchestration platforms (Kubernetes preferred).
• Leverage Dapr where appropriate to simplify pub/sub, state management, bindings, and resiliency patterns.
• Implement observability and resilience: structured logging, metrics, distributed tracing, retries, and alerting.
• Ensure data consistency across services; implement sagas or compensating actions when needed.
• Write automated unit, integration, and contract tests; support performance and load testing.
• Participate in architecture and design reviews, mentor teammates, and improve deployment practices.
• Follow Git best practices: branching strategies, feature branches, pull requests, and CI integration.
