OVERVIEW
Cayenta is seeking a talented intermediate-level .NET Backend Developer to join our Customer Information System (CIS) development team. In this role, you will focus on implementing robust, scalable application business logic for our next-generation Customer Information Systems (CIS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms.
This role begins with hands-on development in our enterprise-grade CIS application built using the Uniface low-code platform. You’ll work directly on core business functionality and gain a deep understanding of the platform and product domain. Meanwhile, you will work with lead developers, architects and R&D Directors to plan and architect the implementation of .NET/C# for the modernization initiative. Over time, you will transition to the initiative development team at a full time capacity. Your experience with the existing product will provide valuable insight as we design and implement new services.
While this role is primarily backend-focused, experience with React or Go is highly valuable. Prior experience working on software for Utilities is a significant plus.
You will report to the Director of Research & Development, with a preference for candidates based in Canada.

- Familiarity with designing and implementing RESTful APIs and working with GraphQL.

- Familiarity with React or Go development, showcasing your ability to collaborate effectively with frontend teams or transition into full-stack projects.

- Contributions to open-source projects or active participation in tech communities.
- Experience building scalable microservices architectures and optimizing backend performance.
