As a Senior .NET Developer for SBSD, you'll design and develop business components and services according to business requirements and technical specifications.

This role offers significant ownership over backend systems. You'll tackle open-ended technical challenges, contribute to architectural decisions, and drive improvements to team practices—not just execute predefined tickets.
