A .NET developer builds applications on Microsoft's .NET platform, usually in C#. They work on web APIs, internal business systems, desktop apps and cloud services, often on Azure and SQL Server.
A great .NET Developer does not just complete tasks. They own a function that directly frees you to grow. Here is what that looks like in a scaling business:
01Build web APIs and services in C# with ASP.NET Core
02Maintain and modernize older .NET Framework applications
03Design SQL Server databases and write efficient queries
04Deploy and run services on Azure
05Write unit and integration tests
How this hire moves your business forward: .NET runs many of the systems that keep established businesses operating. A strong .NET developer keeps those systems reliable and moves them forward, from .NET Framework to modern .NET and Azure.
Why LatAm
Why LatAm Produces Great .NET Developers.
