The Role

We are seeking a Lead Backend Engineer who is passionate about database modernization, performance optimization, and strategic refactoring of mission-critical systems. You will be a key member of the DPS Core & Data Engine Squad, working on the system-of-record platform that powers both internal (DPS) and external (IES) claims management experiences supporting millions of transactions and billions of dollars in claims.

This is a modernization engineering role for someone who gets excited about:
• Refactoring complex stored procedures and carving out domain logic into maintainable services
• Optimizing SQL performance and improving system efficiency
• Creating safe migration patterns that enable continuous modernization while maintaining business continuity
• Working in .NET codebases and evolving them into clean, testable, domain-aligned modules

If you love the challenge of strategic system evolution and want to participate in evolving the technical architecture of a multi-year transformation from monolithic database logic to service-oriented architecture—this role is for you.


 

Key Responsibilities:

Database Engineering & Modernization (60%)

Stored procedure refactoring: Analyze, optimize, and decompose complex stored procedures into smaller, testable, well-documented units

  • Performance engineering: Query tuning, indexing strategy, execution plan analysis, optimizing data access patterns

  • Schema evolution: Design backward-compatible schema changes with safe rollout/rollback patterns

  • Migration seams: Create facades, wrappers, and anti-corruption layers around stored procedures to enable gradual extraction of business logic into services

Legacy .NET Modernization (30%)

  • Refactor .NET Framework code supporting DPS workflows into maintainable, testable modules

  • Implement strangler fig patterns to incrementally move logic from database service layer while maintaining production stability

  • Build domain-aligned modules/services with clear contracts that enable the Domain & Services Squad to extract capabilities

  • Establish patterns for dependency injection, observability, and error handling in established .NET codebases

Operational Excellence (10%)

  • Implement performance baselines, regression detection, and alerting for data-intensive workflows

  • Participate in incident response for data/performance-related production issues

  • Create diagnostic tooling and runbooks to reduce time-to-resolution

  • Collaborate with SRE/DevOps on deployment safety (blue/green, feature flags, canary releases for schema changes)


     

    Requirements:

    Technical Skills

    • 8+ years of professional software development experience in object-oriented languages (C#/.NET required)

    • Expert-level SQL Server knowledge (SQL Server 2019):

    • Advanced query optimization (execution plans, index tuning, query hints)

    • Stored procedure, function, and trigger development/refactoring

    • Database design and normalization

    • Performance tuning at scale (multi-million row tables, complex joins, aggregations)

    • Understanding of indexing strategies (clustered, non-clustered, filtered, columnstore)

    • SQL Agent jobs and automated workflow patterns

    • Transaction isolation levels, locking, and concurrency management

    • C# and .NET Framework/.NET Core (legacy and modern)

    • Experience refactoring established systems while maintaining production stability

    • SQL source control (migrations, version control for schema/stored procedures)

    Highly Desired:

    • Experience with strangler fig, anti-corruption layer, and facade patterns in practice

    • Hands-on experience migrating logic from stored procedures → service layer in production systems

    • Familiarity with domain-driven design (DDD) concepts (bounded contexts, aggregates, repositories)

    • Azure SQL Database, Azure DevOps experience

    • Observability tools (Application Insights, SQL Profiler)

    • API design and versioning (REST, OpenAPI/Swagger)

    • Unit testing frameworks (xUnit, NUnit) and test data builder patterns

    • PowerShell for database scripting/automation

    • Experience with microservices architecture and event-driven patterns

    • Familiarity with Entity Framework Core, Dapper, or other ORMs (and knowing when to use native SQL)
