Senior .NET Lead Architect – Azure Performance Optimization (2-3 Month Initial Contract)

We build digital products that businesses and their customers can’t live without. From initial design through proactive maintenance and all the engineering in between, we work alongside technology leaders to build digital products with staying power. No two projects share a starting point, but the goal is the same: Mainstays for customers. Growth engines for clients.

As a Senior .NET Lead Architect at Foxbox Digital, you’ll lead the modernization and performance‑scaling of a healthcare‑focused Azure platform from 500 to 10,000 transactions per minute. This role blends hands‑on technical leadership, deep Azure expertise, and direct client engagement. You’ll diagnose system bottlenecks, architect scalable cloud solutions, and guide a small cross‑functional team through optimization and validation.
