Forte Group is looking for a .NET Tech Lead, who will lead the end-to-end technical design and execution of re-platforming a product from on-premise to AWS Cloud.

You will lead the technical design and execution of a large-scale replatforming initiative, migrating an enterprise .NET-based system from on-premise to a secure cloud environment.

The focus is on infrastructure automation, cloud architecture, telemetry integration, and modernization enablement — without requiring immediate code changes to the core application

Your mission will be to ensure that the team consistently delivers secure, scalable, and maintainable solutions aligned with business goals while maintaining a healthy and productive team environment.

About the Product:

The platform is an enterprise-grade .NET-based system currently operating in multiple customer environments.

The modernization roadmap involves replatforming to the cloud using a lift-and-shift model — introducing cloud automation, secure connectivity, and telemetry while preserving existing functionality.

Future phases will focus on progressive decoupling and transition toward cloud-native components.

Key features include:

• Large-scale .NET platform transitioning from on-premise to cloud.
• Mix of legacy and modern components: .NET Framework, .NET Core, SQL Server, and Windows-based services.
• Infrastructure automation and monitoring through Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and telemetry.
• Secure reverse proxying, role-based access, and identity federation.
• API integrations with external enterprise systems.
• Modernization roadmap introducing containerization, observability, and refactoring opportunities.

Technologies and Tools:

• Frontend: HTML5, CSS, JavaScript (modern modules), ASP.NET Web Forms / MVC
• Backend: C#, .NET Core / .NET 8+ (modern services), Microsoft .NET Framework, Microsoft IIS, T-SQL, SOAP, REST Web Services, Microsoft AD / AD LDS / (OIDC, Kerberos, LDAP)
• Databases: Microsoft SQL Server
• CI/CD: GitHub, Azure Reports, Terraform
• Tools: Microsoft Visual Studio, VS Code, MS Teams, Slack, SharePoint, Playwright, xUnit

Team structure and Workflow:

The engineering organization operates across India, the UK, and LATAM, following Agile Scrum principles.

Teams are cross-functional and include Backend Engineers, SDETs, Product Owners, AWS Cloud Engineers, and Engineering Managers.

Work is coordinated via Azure DevOps and GitHub, with daily collaboration supported by Slack, Microsoft Teams, and SharePoint.

As a Tech Lead, you will:

• Provide technical direction and architectural guidance across teams and components
• Coordinate engineering efforts to ensure alignment on design decisions, standards, and implementation approaches
• Support developers and DevOps engineers by clarifying technical requirements, patterns, and best practices
• Collaborate with Delivery and Product stakeholders to ensure technical feasibility, risks, and dependencies are well understood
• Help break down complex initiatives into clear technical workstreams
• Review designs, code, and infrastructure changes to ensure quality, scalability, and consistency
• Facilitate cross-team communication, ensuring the right technical decisions are made at the right time
• Act as an escalation point for complex technical issues, guiding teams toward effective solutions
• Contribute to architectural documentation, decision-making, and modernization planning

Responsibility:

Technical Leadership & Delivery:

• Lead technical direction across teams, ensuring architectural alignment and consistent engineering practices
• Coordinate technical workstreams, clarifying dependencies, risks, and design considerations
• Drive engineering quality through design reviews, code reviews, and infrastructure validation
• Ensure CI/CD pipelines, testing strategies, and environment configurations follow best practices
• Collaborate closely with Delivery and Product teams to evaluate feasibility, define technical scope, and anticipate implementation challenges
• Identify technical risks early and guide teams toward effective mitigation strategies
• Promote documentation of architecture, operational procedures, and technical decisions
• Support smooth delivery by ensuring teams have clear technical guidance, patterns, and standards

Architecture & Engineering:

• Provide architectural leadership for the replatforming of a large .NET-based system from on-premise to cloud
• Define technical patterns and standards for infrastructure, deployment automation, reverse proxying, security, and observability
• Guide teams through design decisions involving legacy .NET Framework components, Windows-based services, and modern .NET
• Ensure cloud environments are secure, scalable, repeatable, and aligned with Infrastructure-as-Code practices
• Review and validate Terraform modules, CI/CD pipelines, configuration changes, and infrastructure updates
• Support gradual modernization by identifying opportunities for decoupling, service extraction, performance improvements, and technical debt reduction
• Collaborate with DevOps and Cloud Engineering to standardize networking, VM images, environment layouts, and telemetry integration
• Promote best practices across logging, monitoring, alerting, and operational readiness
• Ensure architectural decisions are documented clearly and communicated effectively across teams
• Ensure secure and scalable integration with SOAP, REST, and HL7 FHIR services.

Stakeholder Collaboration:

• Communicate project status, risks, and recommendations clearly to Product and Delivery stakeholders
• Participate in roadmap planning and define technical goals aligned with business objectives
• Balance technical innovation with delivery timelines and resource constraints

Mindset & Accountability:

• Stay up to date with the latest features, libraries, and best practices.
• Take ownership of outcomes, not just output.
• Be proactive and propose reasonable decisions
• Be flexible in aligning with shifting business priorities.
• Propose reasonable, pragmatic solutions while balancing business and technical needs.

Software Engineering Practices:

• Write maintainable, testable, secure, and idiomatic code in C#.
• Evaluate trade-offs when adopting frameworks, libraries, and tools.
