What a .NET developer does on our teams
A .NET developer on our team builds and maintains business systems in C#: ASP.NET Core APIs, background services, integrations with ERPs and payment providers, and the SQL Server or PostgreSQL databases behind them. Much of our .NET work is modernisation, so our engineers are comfortable opening a ten-year-old .NET Framework solution, adding tests around the risky parts and moving it to modern .NET and Azure one project at a time.
How we assess .NET developers
- API design in ASP.NET Core: versioning, validation, authentication and error handling
- Data access: Entity Framework Core performance, migrations, transactions and raw SQL where it matters
- Modernisation: planning a .NET Framework to .NET migration with tests and a rollback path
- Sample task: build a small API with background processing and Azure deployment in four hours

SolasEnterprise · OperationsHiring .NET developers, answered.
Can your .NET developers work on legacy .NET Framework code?
Yes. Many engagements start with a .NET Framework 4.x application; we stabilise it, add tests and migrate it to modern .NET in stages.
Do they know Azure?
Yes. App Service, Functions, Service Bus, Azure SQL and Azure DevOps pipelines are everyday tools for our senior .NET engineers.
Can they build front ends too?
Our .NET developers work with Blazor and Razor, and pair with our React or Angular engineers for richer front ends.
