Senior .NET API Developer
We are hiring a Senior .NET API Developer to join the team building REDS - Risk Exposure Data Store. REDS is Zurich's strategic global platform for risk accumulation management.

Your role
As Senior .NET API Developer, your main responsibilities will involve:
- Design, build and maintain .NET Core RESTful APIs that expose REDS capabilities to underwriting, modelling and reporting consumers.
- Contribute to architectural decisions for scalable, secure and cloud-native services on Azure.
- Integrate .NET services with Databricks, Azure SQL, PostGIS, message queues and internal Zurich platforms.
- Ensure high code quality through unit testing, code reviews, CI/CD, observability and secure coding practices.
- Collaborate with architects, product owners, modelers, data engineers and business stakeholders in an agile delivery model.
- Contribute to the modernization of legacy components and migration to the cloud native target architecture.
Your Skills and Experience
As Senior .NET API Developer, your skills and experience will ideally include:
- 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, ideally in international environments and in financial services, banking or insurance.

- Strong analytical mindset and ability to learn new technologies quickly.
- Attention to detail and a genuine passion for delivering high-quality, maintainable code.
