Senior .NET Software Engineer – Centralized Orchestration, Monitoring & Management

About the role

We are looking for a Senior .NET Engineer to design, implement and maintain centralized backend services that orchestrate, monitor and manage a quantum network. The role involves tracking network topology and device state, executing configuration workflows, exposing operator and integration APIs, and extending business capabilities through a stable plugin platform.

Key responsibilities

• Implement core orchestration services for topology, node lifecycle, configuration rollout and path computation, integrating with external device‑management APIs.
• Develop the plugin hosting model, including registration, capability discovery, lifecycle management and isolation, and provide a clean SDK for third‑party developers.
• Build observability‑first services using OpenTelemetry to emit metrics, logs, traces and meaningful events for dashboards and reliability workflows.
• Harden identity and access integration (e.g., Keycloak with OpenID Connect), managing token scopes, multitenant boundaries and mutual TLS between services.
• Ensure production‑grade quality through unit, contract and integration testing, performance and resiliency testing, and CI/CD quality gates.

Required profile

• 8+ years of experience in .NET backend development, with strong knowledge of distributed systems and event‑driven or asynchronous patterns.
• Proven expertise in ASP.NET Core and C# for building and operating production services.
• Experience creating SDKs or frameworks that enable third‑party plugins.
• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes is a plus.

Required skills

• .NET, ASP.NET Core, C#
• Distributed systems and event‑driven architectures
• Docker, Kubernetes (optional)
• OpenTelemetry for metrics, logging and tracing
• Keycloak, OpenID Connect, token scopes/roles
• Mutual TLS and multitenant security concepts
• Unit, contract and integration testing
• Performance and resiliency testing
• CI/CD pipelines and quality gates
