Extranet Developer

A Quebec-based insurance company is expanding its Extranet teams and is looking for developers to fix modernize and enhance portals for its clients brokers and partners in a Microsoft cloud environment that blends modern technologies with outdated systems.

The work is hands-on: delving into a large codebase delivering fixes and small features and contributing to the ongoing modernization.

What were looking for:

• 5 years of experience in C# .NET back-end development
  
• Experience with secure web portals or public-facing applications
  
• Experience with Microsoft and cloud environments including Azure DevOps
  
• Proficiency with general front-end architectures MVC HTML CSS and JavaScript
  
• Daily use of AI and GitHub Copilot for code exploration and development
  
• Autonomy resourcefulness and a passion for delving into existing systems
  
• Technologies such as Kafka Kong React or MongoDB are assets not prerequisites.
  

• Client is strengthening its Extranet teams as part of a priority security initiative focused in the short term on vulnerability management and reducing obsolescence with the occasional addition of features to the portals for customers brokers and dealers.
  
• The work is primarily execution-oriented: fixing existing issues delivering small features and working within a large codebase.
  
• The ideal candidate will have strong back-end development experience in C# .NET with at least 5 years of experience ideally gained on secure public-facing web portals (government banking insurance or similar sectors).
  
• The environment is Microsoft and cloud-based (Azure DevOps Services) with a modern containerized infrastructure (Docker Kubernetes) and some legacy components ( versions) currently being modernized.
  
• The framework is Scrum with three-week sprints. The front-end is general-purpose (MVC HTML CSS JavaScript) with React being a valuable asset. Daily use of AI (GitHub Copilot) for code exploration and development is non-negotiable.
  
• The integration stack (Kafka Kong BizTalk) MongoDB and token management are skills that can be learned and are considered assets; token experience is desired in at least one team member but not required of all. Different profiles should not be confused: front-end-only developer middleware specialist without a .NET foundation junior profile.
