What you'll do
- Develop and maintain UKI web applications (VB.NET / ASP.NET WebForms)
- Deliver enhancements, bug fixes, and performance improvements
- Support live production systems and troubleshoot issues end-to-end
- Work with SQL Server (queries, views, stored procedures, data analysis)
- Contribute to modernization of legacy components (.NET / Azure)
- Improve application performance, security, and reliability
- Support integrations, background jobs, and data processes (imports/exports)
- Assist with security fixes and remediation on existing systems
- Collaborate with developers, tech leads, and support teams
Skills
- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
- Ability to troubleshoot across code, data, and integrations
- Comfortable working in a hands-on, support-focused environment
- Able to deliver safe changes to live systems
- Collaborative team player with clear communication
