J.S. Held is a global consulting firm that combines technical, scientific, financial, and strategic expertise to advise clients seeking to realize value and mitigate risk.

• Execute functional, regression, and integration testing, and support UAT cycles for application updates.

• Validate Azure deployments, configurations, and environment health in partnership with DevOps/Infrastructure teams.

• Deliver small enhancements, bug fixes, refactoring, and API debugging within the .NET codebase.

• Support release management activities, including pre‑ and post‑release validation and documentation.

• Identify opportunities for automation, monitoring improvements, and operational efficiency using Azure services.

Required Qualifications:

• Mid‑level experience (approximately 3–5 years) with .NET and C# in production environments.

• Hands‑on experience supporting applications on Microsoft Azure, including App Services, Azure Functions, and Logic Apps.

• Strong troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis skills across APIs, backend services, and SQL databases.

• Experience with Azure SQL / SQL Server and writing or analyzing T‑SQL queries.

• Familiarity with application monitoring and diagnostics using Application Insights, Log Analytics, and Azure Workbooks.

• Experience executing functional, regression, and integration testing, including support of UAT cycles.

• Ability to debug .NET applications using the IDE, logs, traces, and tools such as Postman or Fiddler.

• Strong documentation and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with end‑to‑end test automation using Playwright or Cypress.

• Familiarity with Azure API Management.

• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.

• Experience performing small enhancements, bug fixes, or refactoring within an existing .NET codebase.

• Ability to write or maintain operational scripts using PowerShell, C#, or similar automation utilities.

• Interest in automation, monitoring improvements, and operational efficiency initiatives within Azure environments.
