Senior .NET Developer

📍 Coimbatore 🏷️ Software Development 💰 ₹124,000 / month

Saravanampatti in Coimbatore has a Senior .NET Developer opening, full time, on site, with a software team maintaining and extending a mature enterprise application. Eight years of experience is the expectation, and the team is specifically looking for someone comfortable inheriting a codebase with real history rather than only building greenfield features from a blank slate.

The work covers designing and building software components, working closely with product and QA teams, reviewing code to maintain quality standards, and troubleshooting issues reported by users, some of whom have been using this application long enough to remember exactly how it used to behave before a given change. A senior developer here needs to balance new feature delivery against the very real risk of breaking a workflow some long-standing user depends on daily.

What you'll be doing

  • Design and build backend components using C# and ASP.NET Core
  • Work closely with product and QA teams throughout each release
  • Review code from other developers to maintain quality standards
  • Troubleshoot issues reported by long-standing enterprise users

Required skills are C#, ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework, SQL Server, Git, and debugging skills sharp enough to trace an issue through layers of an application that's grown organically over years. A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with practical, hands-on project experience and proven proficiency in the relevant languages and frameworks.

Good to have

  • Experience migrating legacy .NET Framework applications to .NET Core
  • Familiarity with performance profiling tools for diagnosing slow queries or endpoints
  • Any background working directly with long-term enterprise clients on feature requests

Saravanampatti has grown into a real software hub within Coimbatore over the past several years, and the application this team maintains has been in active use by enterprise clients for close to a decade, which means a fair amount of institutional knowledge lives in the current team rather than in documentation alone.

Naukri Mitra has listed a few software roles from this employer, and senior developers who've joined recently describe the codebase itself as the real interview, in a sense; the practical exercise during hiring uses an anonymized slice of the actual application, since a candidate's reaction to genuinely older code tells the team more than a clean take-home project would.

Interviews include that codebase-based exercise plus a conversation about a legacy system you've worked in previously. Candidates who ask about the history behind a strange piece of code, rather than assuming it's simply bad, tend to interview well.

The broader Software Development team this role sits within has grown modestly over the past year, and a fair number of current mid-level staff started in a role similar to this one. That internal mobility is one of the more consistently mentioned reasons past hires give for staying beyond the first year rather than moving on once they've built up experience.

A quick fix to old .NET code can sometimes introduce a subtle regression in a workflow nobody thought to test, since the application has enough undocumented behavior baked in from years of incremental changes that even experienced developers occasionally get surprised by what breaks when they touch something seemingly unrelated.

Release cycles for this application run roughly monthly, slower than a lot of modern software teams, largely because the enterprise client base here values stability over rapid iteration, and senior developers are expected to weigh that tradeoff explicitly when deciding how aggressively to refactor older parts of the codebase.

Client feature requests here go through a lightweight impact assessment before being scheduled, specifically checking which older parts of the application a change might touch, a step the team added after a seemingly isolated fix once broke a reporting feature that shared a database table nobody had realized was connected.

Benefits

  • Health insurance covering the employee and immediate family
  • Paid time off
  • Performance-linked bonuses
  • Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates moving to Coimbatore

This role is based at Saravanampatti, Coimbatore, pin code 641035, five days a week on site. Pay runs up to ₹1,24,000 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within six weeks.
