3. Collaborate on scalable data access approaches for multi-tenant scenarios
We are looking for a **Senior .NET Engineer** to join the migration team, working on the decomposition of a .NET Framework 4\.8 / VB.NET desktop application into ASP.NET Core (Current) backend services on Kubernetes. The engagement starts with the highest\-risk item in the project — characterising and replacing a 14,518\-line VB.NET data layer with EF Core repositories against a multi\-tenant PostgreSQL schema with Row\-Level Security — then continues across backend services depending on team allocation.
All services follow the same patterns throughout: ASP.NET Core, EF Core, PostgreSQL, JWT tenant middleware, Docker, Kubernetes manifests.
**Responsibilities**
* Contribute to the decomposition of a legacy desktop application into modern backend services
* Design and implement backend components aligned with the target architecture and established patterns
* Collaborate with team members to define scalable data access approaches for multi\-tenant scenarios
* Participate in code reviews and share technical insights to raise overall code quality
* Analyze legacy business logic to ensure functional parity across newly built services
* Take part in architectural discussions and help refine technical direction across workstreams
* Investigate and resolve issues encountered throughout the migration lifecycle
* Support deployment activities and help ensure services run reliably in containerised environments
**Requirements**
* At least 3 years of professional relevant experience in backend .NET engineering on production systems
* Hands\-on delivery of REST APIs consumed by a real frontend within a team environment
* Familiarity with containerised deployments, including shipping services running in Docker
* Confident, production\-level command of C\# and ASP.NET Core (Current)
* Practical experience with Entity Framework Core, including migrations, global query filters, and optimistic concurrency
* Applied knowledge of OAuth 2\.0 and OIDC server\-side flows using Microsoft.Identity.Web, along with JWT validation and tenant middleware
* Experience with Docker covering multi\-stage builds, secrets handling, and CI image gates
* Hands\-on background with xUnit and Testcontainers, with the ability to write meaningful integration tests against a real database
* Strong VB.NET reading comprehension, with the ability to follow and reason about legacy VB.NET code without needing to write it
* Confident English communication at B2 level or higher, in both written and spoken forms
**Nice to have**
* Experience with PostgreSQL covering schema design, indexing, and multi\-tenant data patterns
* Familiarity with Helm for managing Kubernetes application deployments
* Working knowledge of Kubernetes for container orchestration and service operations
* Applied understanding of OAuth2 for securing modern web applications and APIs
* Exposure to Visual Basic .NET for interpreting or maintaining legacy components
* Awareness of XBRL for structured business reporting scenarios
**We offer**
