In this role you will be responsible for designing and implementing user interfaces for our SaaS product, in the research and development ELSE division in the United States ensuring robust performance and reliability for our customers.

You will partner with cross-functional teams to build responsive, user-centric web applications, optimize front-end code for scalability, and seamlessly integrate APIs to deliver an exceptional and engaging customer experience.

This position is a hybrid role based in Cleveland, OH or Cary, NC, requiring approximately 10% total office time per year. Please note that this role does not offer relocation assistance; the successful candidate will be expected to reside in one of these locations or relocate at their own expense.

Your Responsibilities:

• Design and develop responsive user interfaces for ABB's cloud-native SaaS platform using React, while building and maintaining robust back-end services and APIs within the .NET ecosystem on Azure.
• Collaborate with UX/UI designers, product managers, and fellow engineers to translate requirements into scalable, full-stack solutions - from database schema through to polished front-end components.
• Design, develop, and optimize SQL database schemas, stored procedures, and queries to support high-performance, data-driven application features.
• Develop and maintain data access layers using Entity Framework as the primary ORM, ensuring clean separation between business logic and data persistence.
• Build and maintain RESTful APIs and back-end services using .NET (C#), ensuring secure, efficient integration between front-end interfaces and data layers.
• Develop, deploy, and maintain containerized microservices using Docker and Azure Container Apps, supporting consistent and secure environments across development, staging, and production.
• Optimize web applications for performance, accessibility, security, and cross-browser compatibility, following secure coding practices to protect against common vulnerabilities such as XSS, CSRF, and SQL injection.
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and debugging across the full stack to maintain high standards of quality and reliability.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of development processes, tooling, and best practices for both front-end and back-end workflows.

Your Background:

• 5+ years of experience in full-stack development, with demonstrated proficiency in modern JavaScript frameworks (React), .NET/C#, and SQL-based backends.
• Hands-on experience building and consuming RESTful APIs, with a solid understanding of how front-end and back-end systems integrate in cloud-native SaaS environments (e.g., Azure).
• Strong SQL skills, including schema design, query optimization, and stored procedure development, with awareness of data security and injection prevention best practices.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, including end-to-end test authoring using tools such as Playwright or similar frameworks.
• Proficiency with API development and testing tools (e.g., Postman, Swagger) and a strong understanding of API design principles, including authentication and authorization patterns such as OAuth and JWT.
• Familiarity with secure coding principles, including input validation, least-privilege access, secrets management, and adherence to OWASP guidelines across both front-end and back-end code.
• Sound knowledge of UI/UX principles and front-end best practices, with experience maintaining design systems and component libraries.
• Exceptional collaboration, problem-solving, and communication skills, with a passion for building end-to-end features in a fast-paced, cross-functional team environment.
• A Bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field is preferred.
• Fluency in English with strong written and verbal communication skills; additional proficiency in Spanish or other languages is a plus to support global customer interactions.
