Position Overview
At Onsights, our engineers build and maintain high-performance software systems that enable real-time video analytics and smart surveillance for brick-and-mortar environments. As a Senior .NET Developer, you'll lead the development of robust Windows-based applications that power our edge and near-edge data collection systems. This role requires deep experience with the Microsoft .NET ecosystem, including WPF, WinForms, and UWP where applicable.
We're looking for an engineer with a strong background in building portable applications—systems that can operate in constrained, disconnected, or semi-connected environments—and implementing remote monitoring capabilities. Experience building Windows service applications is a must. You should also be comfortable integrating with Azure Entra, IoT hubs, and other cloud-based services that support on-premises components. Familiarity with .NET CI/CD pipelines is also required for maintaining high-velocity, reliable software delivery.
What You Will Work On
Build and maintain .NET desktop applications using WPF, WinForms, and UWP, supporting both full-scale and portable edge deployments
Design and implement Windows service applications for background operations such as ingestion, synchronization, and health monitoring
Develop portable, installable software that supports remote monitoring, diagnostics, and telemetry reporting across fielded systems
Integrate on-premise applications with Azure Entra ID, Azure IoT Hub, and other cloud-based platforms for authentication, configuration, and data streaming
Work with video management systems like Milestone XProtect, Genetec, and Avigilon to automate video export, analysis, and system state capture
Develop and maintain robust test coverage using NUnit, and ensure system stability through consistent test automation
Build and maintain deployment tools and pipelines, contributing to .NET-focused CI/CD workflows
Collaborate with infrastructure, backend, and hardware teams to ensure seamless integration and monitoring across distributed environments
Responsibilities
Lead design, development, and support of key desktop and background services across the .NET stack
Build software components that enable secure data flows between on-prem devices and the cloud
Implement integrations with and access services such as Azure Entra for authentication and authorization scenarios
Develop and support CI/CD pipelines tailored to Windows-based deployment targets and .NET service/app builds
Assist with deployment planning, troubleshooting, and optimization of on-site and remotely managed installations
Document technical designs, workflows, and system behaviors to support long-term maintainability and onboarding
