What does a .NET developer do?
A .NET developer builds backend APIs, web apps, services, and desktop or cross-platform apps using C# and the .NET runtime. Strong .NET developers work fluently in modern C# (records, pattern matching, async/await), ASP.NET Core for web/APIs, EF Core or Dapper for data access, and deploy to Azure, AWS, or on-prem.
Why .NET is a strong choice for modern engineering teams
- •Cross-platform, high-performance runtime — .NET 8 and 9 rival Go and Java in throughput.
- •Tight Azure integration for enterprises on Microsoft infrastructure.
- •Excellent tooling: Visual Studio, Rider, JetBrains ReSharper, dotnet CLI.
- •Blazor expands C# into the browser, reducing context-switching for .NET teams.
- •Stable, long-term-supported releases keep enterprise systems maintainable.
Skills to look for when you hire .NET developers
Modern C#
Records, pattern matching, nullable reference types, async streams.
ASP.NET Core
Minimal APIs, MVC, middleware, auth, SignalR; knows when to use which.
EF Core / data access
LINQ, query performance, migrations, change tracking, and Dapper for performance-critical paths.
Cloud (Azure)
App Service, Functions, Service Bus, Cosmos DB, Azure SQL, Application Insights.
Testing
xUnit or NUnit, Moq or NSubstitute, integration tests against Testcontainers or in-memory DB.
Security
Identity, JWT, OAuth2, OWASP top 10 — and knows what Data Protection API does.
Performance
Comfortable with BenchmarkDotNet, async best practices, and diagnosing high-allocation paths.
CI/CD
Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, Dockerised builds, blue-green or slot-based deploys.

- How do you handle long-running work in ASP.NET Core without blocking request threads?
- Explain EF Core change tracking and a bug you've fixed that was caused by it.
- What's your approach to caching in a .NET API (in-memory vs distributed)?
- How do you structure a solution that has multiple services plus shared libraries?
- Walk me through a performance issue you diagnosed in .NET. What tools did you use?

- How do you secure a multi-tenant ASP.NET Core API?
Frequently asked questions
Do you support GDPR and EU data-residency requirements?▾
Yes. We work under GDPR-compliant contracts with clauses for EU data residency where required. Each engagement is assessed against the client's data-processing needs before onboarding.
How fast can I hire a .NET developer through SquadXP?▾
You'll get the first pre-vetted candidate CV within 24 hours of the intake call. Most clients finalise a .NET hire within 48 hours and onboard within the same week.
What if the first hire doesn't work out?▾
You have a 7-day replacement window, no questions asked. We'll start sending replacements the moment you flag it — no invoices, no friction.
Can I hire .NET developers across US, UK and EU timezones?▾
Yes. Our network spans multiple regions, so we can match any timezone overlap requirement — from full US hours to split UK/EU coverage.
Is this contract, full-time, or project-based?▾
All three. We support short-term projects, long-term contracts, and contract-to-hire. Most clients start with a 3-month engagement and extend.
