What a .NET Developer does

A .NET developer builds and maintains C#/.NET applications alongside your team — features, fixes and integrations, to your standards.

Every StaffingSolutions.io .net developer is recruited, hired and managed by us — reference-checked for your tools, working your business hours, and backed by our zero-risk promise: no placement fee, money-back first week, and a free replacement if the fit isn't right.

What they handle

  • .NET development — C# and ASP.NET.
  • APIs — built and integrated.
  • Maintenance — bugs and upgrades.
  • Database work — SQL Server.
  • Testing — unit and integration.
  • CI/CD — pipelines supported.
The actual work

A week in the role

Works inside your existing C# codebase rather than starting from a blank solution — feature tickets, defect fixes and integration work across ASP.NET Core APIs, MVC or Blazor front-ends and the SQL Server behind them. Often includes the slow job of dragging a .NET Framework application onto a supported runtime.

The taskWhat that actually involves
Pick up sprint tickets

Takes stories from the Azure Boards or Jira sprint, works within the established layering of controllers, services and repositories, writes C# to the team's existing conventions, and raises the pull request with the ticket linked and tests included.

Build and version REST endpoints

Adds ASP.NET Core controllers or minimal API endpoints with model validation, correct status codes and DTOs that do not leak entity models, updates the OpenAPI definition, and versions the route instead of breaking existing consumers.

Write EF Core migrations carefully

Adds Entity Framework Core migrations, reads the generated SQL before committing it, splits destructive column changes into add-backfill-drop steps, and checks the resulting query is not a Cartesian join hiding behind a lazily loaded navigation property.

Fix slow endpoints and N+1 queries

Profiles slow requests through Application Insights or MiniProfiler, finds the LINQ pulling an entire table into memory, applies projection, AsNoTracking and split queries where they help, and re-measures before declaring it fixed.

Write xUnit and integration tests

Covers new logic with xUnit tests using Moq for dependencies, plus integration tests through WebApplicationFactory against a containerised database, so the build pipeline catches the regression rather than your customers finding it after release.

Review pull requests in Azure DevOps

Reads teammates' changes for null handling, async-over-sync deadlocks, missing cancellation tokens, swallowed exceptions and connection strings committed into appsettings — leaving review comments that explain why the change matters, not just what to alter.

Keep the CI pipeline green

Maintains the Azure Pipelines or GitHub Actions YAML through restore, build, test, artifact publish and deployment to the App Service slot, and chases down the flaky test or expired service connection blocking everyone else's merges.

Wire up background and scheduled work

Implements hosted services, Hangfire jobs or Azure Functions for work that should not sit inside a web request — invoice generation, overnight file imports, webhook retries — with idempotency and structured logging so a re-run does not double-post.

Integrate third-party APIs

Builds typed HttpClient wrappers with Polly retry and circuit-breaker policies for the services you depend on — payment gateways, Xero, courier and address validation APIs — handling token refresh and their non-standard error payloads properly.

Modernise .NET Framework code

Works through legacy WebForms or ASP.NET MVC applications: runs the upgrade assistant, replaces web.config configuration and HttpContext dependencies, swaps out abandoned NuGet packages, and moves one module at a time so the application keeps running throughout.

Investigate production defects

Reproduces the reported fault from Application Insights traces and exception telemetry, isolates it in a failing test first, fixes it and documents the cause on the ticket. Release into production is authorised by your team, not the developer.

Handle configuration and secrets properly

Moves connection strings and API keys into Azure Key Vault or user secrets, keeps environment-specific settings out of source control, and makes sure a new developer can run the solution from a clean checkout using documented setup steps.

Questions

Frequently asked

How much does a .net developer cost?
From $14/hr + GST for a full-time, dedicated team member — roughly $29K a year against $95K–$115K all-in for the local equivalent once you add super, leave, payroll tax, software and a desk. No placement fee, no setup fee, no recruitment retainer: you pay from the day they start, for hours worked, and interviewing candidates costs nothing. Specialist roles sit a little higher. Run your numbers →
How fast can they start?
Typically 14 days from your discovery call to day one. In the first week we source and screen against your brief; you get three matched profiles and interview whoever you like. Once you choose, we handle the offer, the contract, equipment and connectivity checks, and induct them on our side before they reach you. Specialist roles — developers, NDIS claims, anything needing niche software — can take a week longer, because we won't pad a shortlist just to hit a date.
What if the fit isn't right?
You're covered twice over. If it's clearly wrong by day five, your first week is refunded in full. After that, a free replacement any time — new shortlist, new interviews, no second fee, because there was never a first one. Before it gets that far, talk to us: our HR manager will work through it with you and the team member, since most problems turn out to be an unclear process rather than the wrong person, and a fortnight of coaching usually fixes it. Replacing someone is the last resort, not the first move.
Is there a minimum term?
Three months, then month to month. It's the same runway you'd give a new local hire to learn your systems, your clients and your standards — and the team members who get a fair run are the ones who stay for years. There are no exit penalties at any point, and if the issue is the person rather than the role, the first-week refund and free replacement cover that separately.
How do you handle confidentiality?
The same way you'd treat any remote team member. Every placement signs an NDA and a confidentiality clause before day one, and they work inside your systems — your email, your CRM, your file storage — so you control what they can see and can revoke access instantly. No client data is stored on our side.
What stays with you, and what goes to them?
They take the recurring, process-driven part of the .NET Developer role — the work that happens the same way every week and eats your day. Judgement calls, client relationships, anything requiring your licence, sign-off or authority stay with you. The clients who get the most out of a .NET Developer hand over a defined process and keep the decisions, rather than handing over the whole function and hoping. On the discovery call we'll map which tasks fall on which side of that line before you commit to anything.
How do I hand the work over without losing weeks to training?
Record yourself doing the task once and talk through it as you go — a fifteen-minute screen recording beats a written manual every time, and your .NET Developer will turn it into a documented process you both work from. Expect the first fortnight to be shadowing and checking, then steadily less. If you have nothing documented, that's normal and it's not a blocker: we'll help you decide what to record first, and your account manager checks in through the whole ramp-up.
