Pacific Programming and Tech Inc., is a leading software development firm specializing in the development of complex systems and web applications. We are seeking an experienced Senior Backend Developer to become a fundamental part of our team in our Vancouver office location. The successful candidate must not only have a deep understanding of C# and .NET, but also be capable of designing and implementing entire systems. We are at an exciting time here at PPT, and we are looking to build out our west coast team.

Our Tech Stack

We lean heavily into the Microsoft stack, with a few supporting technologies that you will get stuck in with too. For the most part, we host ASP.NET Razor Pages sites containing a number of embedded React components interacting with Web API backends, all of which sit above a number of MS SQL Server databases. We are at the beginning of a long-term project to migrate existing Razor Pages sites to React SPAs/Web API, so strong familiarity with RESTful API design is a plus! We keep our code in Git on Azure Repos and deploy to our environments using Azure Pipelines. Applications are hosted on IIS and we use Datadog for most of our monitoring needs.
