Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer with strong .NET Core, Python backend/web development, and Microsoft Azure experience for a client engagement with Cognizant.

This is not a Python Data Engineering or Data Science position. The Python requirement is specifically focused on web/backend application development, APIs, services, and microservices.

The ideal candidate will be a hands-on software engineer who can design, develop, enhance, and support enterprise applications using .NET Core and Python, deploy solutions within Azure environments, and work with modern DevOps and CI/CD practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and maintain enterprise applications using .NET Core and Python.
  
• Develop scalable backend services, REST APIs, web services, and microservices.
  
• Build and support Azure-based microservices and cloud-native applications.
  
• Design and integrate RESTful APIs between applications and enterprise platforms.
  
• Work with SQL Server and Azure SQL for application data access, database development, queries, stored procedures, and performance optimization.
  
• Participate in application architecture, technical design, code reviews, and development standards.
  
• Develop unit and automated tests to maintain application quality.
  
• Use Azure DevOps for source-code management, work tracking, automated testing, CI builds, and deployment/release pipelines.
  
• Use Git for version control, branching, merging, and collaborative development.
  
• Troubleshoot application, API, database, integration, and production issues.
  
• Work closely with architects, product teams, QA, DevOps, and other engineering teams.
  
• Participate in Agile development activities including sprint planning, backlog refinement, stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives.
  
• Produce clean, maintainable, secure, and well-documented code.

Candidates should have:

• 7+ years of software development experience with .NET / .NET Core
  
• 4+ years of Python application development experience
  
• 4+ years of experience with Azure-based microservices
  
• 5+ years of experience with SQL Server and/or Azure SQL
  
• 5+ years of experience using Azure DevOps, including:
