Full-Stack Engineer (High-Performance Web Systems)
Summary
Full-stack engineer building a high-performance real-time web platform: reverse-engineering legacy C# WPF systems into modern web apps, optimizing WebSocket data pipelines (Protobuf, message routing), and rendering high-frequency UI grids handling thousands of updates per second. Core stack: .NET/ASP.NET Core, MSSQL, Redis, Vue 3, TypeScript.
What You Will Do
- Legacy Transformation: Reverse-engineer complex business logic from C# WPF systems and architect modern, scalable equivalents in a web-native environment.
- Data Pipeline Engineering: Architect and optimize the end-to-end WebSocket pipeline, implementing advanced techniques like binary serialization (Protobuf), message routing, and bounded channel queuing.
- High-Frequency UI: Develop real-time data visualizations and grids that handle thousands of updates per second with zero UI lag using Web Workers and custom rendering strategies.
- Infrastructure Collaboration: Partner with trading and infra teams to bridge the gap between low-latency backend services and the end-user experience.
- Quality & Resilience: Establish automated testing frameworks for real-time systems and provide tier-2 production support to ensure 24/7 system reliability.
Requirements
-
Backend Expertise:
- 5+ years of professional experience in .NET / C# development, specifically with ASP.NET Core Web API.
- Strong proficiency with Entity Framework Core and MSSQL (or similar relational databases).
