• Design and develop large scale distributed software services and solutions.
• Drive best practices, and an understanding of why those are the best practices, across the team.
• Implement modern architecture - Help refactor a legacy .NET Framework codebase into a config-driven, eventdriven microservices system. You'll write services that publish and subscribe to event signals, enabling decoupled integration between billing and partner teams (Tax, Payments, Invoicing, etc.)
• Collaborate on building the orchestration engine that drives billing workflows as declarative configs rather than hard-coded logic. You'll learn to manage distributed transactions (defining steps, handling failures with compensation) - a state-of-the-art approach for reliability.
• Evangelize Domain-Driven Design - Apply DDD principles by helping define clear domain boundaries and interfaces for each billing component.
• Develop telemetry into every feature you build. Help build the Insights component and similar tools to log events with rich metadata (correlation IDs, timestamps, etc.) to provide end-to-end insights into how financial scenarios are flowing throughout the stack.
• Participate in On Call and Site Reliability rotations to support live-site and drive engineered solutions to improve customer experience.
• Drive for results and impact through ownership, collaboration, and communication skills.
• Continuously improve - As part of a fast-moving team, you'll participate in design discussions, code reviews, and experiment with new Azure services. This project is iterative - you'll get to ship in increments, gather feedback, and see your contributions quickly make a difference.
