About the Opportunity 

The .NET Developer is responsible for designing, developing, deploying, and supporting modern, cloud-native .NET applications and serverless services across VicRoads' digital platforms and delivery projects.

Working within an Agile delivery team, this role applies modern engineering standards, Infrastructure as Code(IaC), and automated CI/CD practices to build scalable, resilient, and secure APIs and backend workflows hosted on AWS. The .NET Developer collaborates closely with Tech Leads, architects, testers, and product owners to ensure reliable delivery, maintain application documentation, and drive operational excellence.

• Software Development & API Engineering: Design, build, test, and maintain robust, high-performance backend services and serverless APIs using C# and .NET 8+, while implementing and integrating RESTful APIs through Amazon API Gateway and GraphQL services via AWS AppSync, ensuring alignment with architectural best practices and scalable, reliable solution delivery. 

• Delivery & Agile Collaboration: Actively participate in Agile delivery practices, including sprint planning, estimation sessions, daily stand-ups, showcases, and retrospectives, while collaborating closely with Product Owners, Scrum Masters, and Quality Assurance teams to define acceptance criteria, support testing activities, and ensure successful validation of delivered solutions.

• Quality, Security & Support: Write and maintain automated unit and integration tests, perform static code analysis, and participate in peer code reviews to ensure high standards of code quality, reliability, and maintainability, while proactively monitoring, troubleshooting, and resolving incidents across staging and production environments. Adhere to least-privilege IAM principles and data protection standards, ensuring secure access management and that sensitive or personally identifiable information (PII) is never captured in application logs.

• Documentation & Continuous Improvement: Maintain clear, accurate, and up-to-date technical documentation, architecture artefacts, and operational runbooks to support knowledge sharing, system support, and ongoing platform sustainability, while proactively identifying and recommending improvements to processes, tools, and development frameworks to enhance team efficiency, delivery quality, and overall velocity.

You bring hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code, using tools such as CloudFormation, SAM and AWS CDK, and are comfortable managing the full application lifecycle from development through to deployment. You have experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps and are passionate about automation, code quality and continuous improvement.

You have a solid understanding of cloud security best practices, including IAM, secret management and protecting sensitive data, and can effectively troubleshoot and resolve issues across complex cloud environments. You enjoy working collaboratively within Agile teams, contributing to technical design, delivery and mentoring while partnering closely with Product Owners, QA and fellow engineers.
