Staff Software Developer - ShareGate Backup

Responsibilities

• Lead the technical design, architecture, and delivery of the Backup feature, ensuring scalability, security, and long-term maintainability.
• Design and develop a new backup system that is reliable, automated, and easy to use, capable of meeting operational needs and recovery requirements.
• Define and champion a spec-driven development workflow, where features are designed upfront through detailed technical specifications before any code is written, enabling agentic AI-assisted development, faster reviews, and higher quality delivery.
• Collaborate with Product, Design, and directly with customers to validate our solutions, and align our technical direction to our product goals.
• Mentor developers, grow the team, and influence technical decisions across ShareGate's engineering organization.
• Act as a visible technical leader, advocating for scalable design decisions, driving technical discussions, and influencing ShareGate's broader engineering practices.
• A typical week?
• In parallel, you'll be shaping the long-term team in partnership with your Software Development Manager by participating in hiring, onboarding, and mentoring as the team grows.
• What does your future team look like?
• You'll be the first developer on this new team, taking full technical leadership from the start.
• What are the next challenges awaiting your team?
• Your team's first challenge is to deliver a secure, production-ready MVP to select customers. You'll then iterate rapidly toward general availability while scaling the team to support the long-term growth of a feature area that'll play a progressively larger role in ShareGate's broader strategy.
• All of this on which technical stack?
• You'll be working within a mature .NET (C#) codebase supported by established tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and strong engineering standards.

Requirements

• 10+ years of software development experience, with a significant portion in technical leadership roles.
• Advanced proficiency in C# and the .NET ecosystem, with familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, React, and ideally hybrid or desktop application environments.
• Hands-on experience with agentic development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot Agents, or equivalent) and comfort actively integrating them into your daily workflow.
• Proven technical leadership in large-scale enterprise system development, from design to delivery, with a sharp sense of user experience and empathy for customer needs.
• Strong knowledge of the Microsoft 365 ecosystem (SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, Teams) and experience with SaaS security and compliance practices.
• Experience in data backup and restoration, including recovery planning and the implementation of recovery strategies, is an asset.
• Good understanding of Disaster Recovery use cases and real-world scenarios where backup tools are critical.
• Excellent communication and influence skills, able to align technical and non-technical stakeholders, collaborate with Product and Design teams, and develop and mentor fellow developers.
