About Puck 

Puck Enterprises started with a family, a few acres in Manning, Iowa, and a habit of building better tools than the ones on the market. Since then we've grown into a family of manufacturing brands serving agriculture, oil and gas, fire, and industrial markets — engineering equipment that's used hard, in the field, every day. We're Built to Lead, and that shows up in how we build products and how we build careers: we invest in people, push for continuous improvement, and don't cut corners.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Cloud Platforms to lead the design, development, and operation of distributed systems and cloud-native services using C#, .NET, and Microsoft Azure. This is a senior individual contributor role — you'll own architecture and technical direction for production systems at enterprise scale, stay hands-on with code and operations, and help set the bar for engineering practice across the team.

What You'll Do 

• Lead the design, implementation, and long-term evolution of backend services, APIs, and distributed application components using C# and .NET


• Own technical design for complex systems — service boundaries, data flow, resiliency patterns, fault tolerance, scalability, and performance


• Architect and deliver cloud solutions in Microsoft Azure, using platform services, messaging, storage, identity, monitoring, and automation appropriate for enterprise-scale systems


• Drive engineering quality through code reviews, design reviews, technical standards, and testing strategy


• Partner with product, program, QA, and engineering peers to turn business requirements into robust technical solutions


• Lead root-cause analysis on complex production issues across application, infrastructure, and data layers


• Improve reliability and operational maturity through observability, alerting, automation, and incident response


• Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines, release processes, and developer workflows


• Mentor engineers through technical guidance and design feedback, helping raise the engineering bar across the team


• Contribute to technical roadmaps, platform modernization efforts, and long-term architectural decisions

What You Bring 

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical field — or equivalent practical experience


• 6+ years of professional experience building and operating production-grade systems


• Deep proficiency in C# and the .NET ecosystem, including modern application architecture, asynchronous programming, dependency injection, and service-oriented design


• Strong hands-on experience designing, building, deploying, and supporting applications or services in Microsoft Azure


• Demonstrated experience designing scalable REST APIs, service integrations, and distributed systems with attention to reliability, security, and maintainability


• Strong understanding of relational databases, SQL, data modeling, query optimization, and ORM frameworks such as Entity Framework or Entity Framework Core


• Experience with CI/CD, source control, automated testing, and modern DevOps practices


• Comfort using AI-assisted development tools to improve design, coding, testing, and documentation without sacrificing code quality or judgment


• Experience leading technical design discussions and making architectural tradeoff decisions across multiple services


• Strong debugging, performance tuning, and production support skills across application and cloud environments


• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across engineering and non-engineering stakeholders

Nice to Have

• Experience with ASP.NET Core, microservices, event-driven systems, background processing, and enterprise integration patterns


• Hands-on experience with Azure services such as App Service, Functions, Azure SQL, Service Bus, Storage Accounts, Key Vault, Application Insights, Monitor, and Entra ID


• Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes


• Experience with infrastructure as code, environment automation, configuration management, and secure deployment practices


• Strong understanding of observability, distributed tracing, caching, messaging patterns, and performance engineering


• Experience modernizing legacy applications or migrating workloads to cloud-native architectures


• A track record of mentoring engineers and shaping coding standards across teams


• Microsoft Azure certifications or equivalent cloud architecture experience

Why Puck 

• Competitive pay and benefits, including health, dental and vision


• 401(k) with company match 


• Paid time off and holidays 


• A family-owned company where your work directly shapes machines used in the field - not just a slide deck.
