About Valsoft:

Valsoft specialises in acquiring and growing vertical market software companies. Our mission is to provide a permanent home for software businesses, preserving the legacy of their founders while investing in the long-term growth and success of the companies we acquire. We operate and manage a global portfolio of wholly owned software companies, delivering mission-critical solutions across multiple verticals. By implementing industry best practices, Valsoft ensures a time-sensitive integration process and operates a decentralised model, fostering rapid growth through reinvestment in its portfolio.

About the Role:

We are seeking an AI Solutions Engineer with a strong focus on the .NET stack. You will own the entire solution delivery lifecycle-from collaborating with product managers, internal stakeholders, and cross-functional teams on requirements, to leveraging AI productivity tools for rapid development and deployment. You'll be hands-on across the stack-front-end, back-end, and database-and have a strong grasp of DevOps best practices to deliver secure, cost-effective solutions in the Cloud.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Requirements Definition & Stakeholder Collaboration: Engage with product managers, internal stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to understand business needs. Translate stakeholder requirements into actionable technical tasks and product milestones.
2. AI-Driven Development: Use AI-based productivity tools (e.g., code generation, automated testing frameworks) to accelerate .NET software development. Remain current with AI techniques, integrating them into workflows to boost speed, quality, and innovation.
3. .NET Full-Stack Implementation: Design and build high-quality, scalable back-end solutions using .NET Core. Optionally utilize frameworks like .NET MAUI (for cross-platform applications) and integrate modern front-end technologies (e.g., React, Vue.js) if needed. Ensure responsiveness, performance, and maintainability throughout the codebase.
4. Database Expertise: Work with at least one relational database (Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, or MariaDB) to store, manage, and optimize data. Implement best practices for performance and reliability.
5. DevOps & Cloud Deployment: Implement DevOps best practices (CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code, monitoring) to streamline delivery. Deploy solutions in a cost-effective and secure way, leveraging the most suitable Cloud services.
6. Technical Leadership & Continuous Improvement: Serve as a subject matter expert in AI-driven .NET development. Promote a culture of innovation by researching emerging tools, technologies, and practices.

Required Skills & Experience:

1. .NET Proficiency: Solid experience with .NET Core (C#), plus familiarity with front-end frameworks (e.g., React, Vue.js) is a bonus.
2. AI/ML Tools Familiarity: Hands-on experience leveraging AI-driven tools for code generation, testing, and/or analytics.
3. Database Management: Proficiency in at least one major relational database (preference for open-source where applicable).
4. Cloud & DevOps Knowledge: Understanding of modern cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and CI/CD workflows, containerization, and security best practices.
5. Problem-Solving Mindset: Ability to translate ambiguous challenges into tangible prototypes and products, iterating based on stakeholder input.

What We Offer:

1. Remote-First Culture: Freedom to work from anywhere, with periodic team sessions in person.
2. Cutting-Edge Projects: Develop AI-powered .NET solutions that help define the next generation of software products.
3. Collaborative Environment: A supportive, knowledgeable team that values learning and innovation.
4. Competitive Compensation: Tailored to your experience and the impact you bring.
