Dot NET Cloud Native AI-Augmented Application Lead

Full Stack Developers - JD: Must have: • C# on modern .NET (8 or later) with <ASP.NET> Core Web APIs. The RFP says new components should be modern .NET unless a documented constraint says otherwise, so this is the primary skill. • Working comfort in legacy .NET Framework 4.x. The VAX booking engine mixes .NET Core and .NET Framework. Itinerary Builder and Smart Recommendations sit on booking-engine pages, so developers will need to read that code and make integration changes, even if new work stays on modern .NET. • Azure application services: App Service or Container Apps, Functions, Azure Cache for Redis, Key Vault, and Azure SQL or Cosmos DB. The solution runs inside ALGV/Trisept's hub-and-spoke Azure setup, so experience with private networking and managed identity helps. • Strong TypeScript plus React • Hands-on LLM application work: calling Azure OpenAI or similar, structured outputs, tool/function calling, and retrieval (RAG) with something like Azure AI Search. Each pod builds an agent (FindDeals, BuildItinerary, Recommend), so this isn't optional. • Unit and API testing as part of their own work, and CI/CD pipeline experience. Nice to have: • Optimizely CMS development. The Deal Finder page lives on the Optimizely content site, so at least one or two developers in the Deal Finder pod should have it. • Microsoft Agent Framework or Semantic Kernel (consistent with the Technical Architect JD). • Embedding a shared UI component into multiple host applications (web components, micro-frontends). • Accessibility (WCAG) implementation experience. • Travel, booking, or pricing domain background.
