What this job asks for AI summary

A hands-on consulting role for an experienced .NET architect and technical lead who will own end-to-end client delivery engagements — from discovery and solution design through post-launch support. The work spans enterprise .NET architecture (C#, ASP.NET Core, microservices, cloud-native), DevOps practices, and executive-level client advisory, with a secondary expectation of mentoring engineers and contributing to pre-sales efforts.

Why we read it this way (7)

Location is not stated anywhere in the posting; CBSA and state are left blank. The role mentions travel as needed in a multi-client consulting context, suggesting it may not be fully remote.

The 10+ years overall / 6+ years .NET requirement is stated in the Required Qualifications section. The 6-year figure is attached to the .NET focus specifically and is reflected on C# as the primary language; the overall years minimum is set to 10.

Docker and Kubernetes are listed together as 'containers (Docker/Kubernetes)' — both are named as a combined stack requirement rather than strict alternatives, so they are emitted as separate skills.

Azure Service Bus, Kafka, and RabbitMQ are presented as interchangeable message broker examples ('like Azure Service Bus/Kafka/RabbitMQ'); Azure Service Bus is used as the primary with the others as alternatives.

OAuth2 and OIDC are listed as a pair; OAuth2 is the primary with OIDC as an alternative since they serve the same authentication/authorization protocol role in this context.

The alternative occupation code runner-up (11-3021, Computer and Information Systems Managers) reflects the significant leadership, mentoring, pre-sales, and executive relationship management duties described — however, the posting explicitly emphasizes hands-on delivery and coding, so 15-1252 is the primary classification.

Despite the 'Principal' title, the actual scope — leading client engagements at a consultancy, mentoring teams, and writing production code — is consistent with a Senior individual contributor rather than a true org-wide Principal. The advertised seniority reflects the title; the assessed seniority reflects the requirements.
