Blazor Tech Lead

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & Technical Leadership
• Own the Blazor front-end architecture – define the project structure, folder conventions, and module boundaries aligned with the bounded contexts (Policy, Risk, Workflow, Member, Rating, Claims, Reporting, Governance). • Select and standardize the hosting model (Blazor Server, WebAssembly, or Hybrid) based on latency, scalability, and offline-access requirements. • Design the client-side service layer that consumes all RESTful microservices through the Ocelot/YARP API Gateway, including HTTP client configuration, retry/circuit-breaker policies (Polly), and response caching via Redis. • Establish state management strategy using Fluxor or a comparable Flux/Redux pattern for managing complex cross-module state across 163+ pages. • Define the authentication and authorization flow on the client side, integrating with Entra On prem Identity Server (OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect) and enforcing role-based UI rendering.

Hands-On Development
• Build core shared components: data grids, form templates, modal dialogs, notification toasts, search/filter panels, and navigation shells. • Implement complex UI flows such as policy creation wizards, risk rating dashboards, workflow task boards, claims data entry, and reporting/export screens. • Develop the cross-service aggregation views that call multiple API endpoints (e.g., Policy Details page aggregating Policy, Risk, Claims, and Workflow data). • Integrate client-side validation with FluentValidation DTOs returned from the backend, ensuring consistent server/client validation parity. • Build real-time features (SignalR) where needed, such as live workflow notifications and dashboard data refresh.

Quality & Performance • Define and enforce front-end testing strategy: unit tests (bUnit), component tests, and end-to-end tests (Playwright). • Establish performance budgets for page load times, bundle sizes, and rendering performance across all modules. • Implement lazy loading, virtualization (for large data grids), and efficient change detection patterns. • Configure client-side logging and telemetry integration with Datadog and Serilog. • Conduct and lead code reviews for all front-end pull requests, maintaining code quality and design consistency.

Team Leadership & Collaboration • Mentor and guide a team of 3–5 Blazor developers, conducting pair programming sessions and technical knowledge transfers. • Collaborate closely with backend tech leads to align API contracts (DTOs, endpoints, error formats) across all 8 services. • Partner with UX designers to translate wireframes and design specs into pixel-accurate, accessible Blazor components. • Coordinate with DevOps to define CI/CD pipelines for the Blazor project (Azure DevOps), including build, test, Docker containerization, and deployment to Kubernetes Apps. • Participate in sprint planning, architecture reviews, and cross-team ceremonies with backend, QA, and infrastructure teams.

Required Qualifications

• Experience 8+ years of professional software development experience with C# and the .NET ecosystem.
