Learn more at Sitecore.com About the Team Common Platform: Provisioning (CP: Provisioning) underpins Sitecore’s SaaS and AI ecosystem. We own and operate the Unified Provisioning (UniP) platform and Content Services (CS) Provisioning APIs, responsible for multi-tenant lifecycle management, automated infrastructure orchestration, environment setup, and seamless product onboarding across Sitecore’s cloud portfolio. Our mission is to make tenant and service provisioning lightning-fast, fully automated, resilient, and completely invisible to end-users. We deliver mission-critical, highly available cloud services that support enterprise customers worldwide. About the Role/ The Opportunity: As a core member of CP: Provisioning, you will design, build, and operate distributed orchestration engines and backend APIs that automate complex multi-step provisioning workflows across cloud infrastructure. You will tackle challenging distributed systems problems around idempotency, workflow orchestration, eventual consistency, automated recovery, and multi-tenant resource isolation. Currently, our services run on modern .NET (.NET 8) with ongoing initiatives to adopt the latest performance, caching, and runtime optimizations (.NET 10). What you’ll Do: Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services and APIs using C#/.NET, delivering high‑quality code that adheres to Sitecore engineering standards. Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to ensure reliable, consistent, and frequent deployments using GitHub Actions or equivalent systems. Develop comprehensive automated tests (unit, integration, E2E) to ensure robustness and maintainability across services. Work with cloud‑native technologies including Azure, Docker/Kubernetes, and distributed messaging (Kafka) to support multi‑tenant, high‑performance architectures. Collaborate closely with Engineering Manager, Product Owner, Lead Developer, QA, and cross‑functional teams to refine user stories, acceptance criteria, and technical design. What You Need to Succeed: Deep Expertise in Modern C# / .NET for Resilient Backend Services Advanced asynchronous programming, dependency injection, high-throughput REST APIs, minimal APIs, and clean architectural design. Distributed Workflows, Orchestration & Idempotency Experience building stateful or saga-style orchestration workflows, resilient background workers, event-driven pipelines, and handling transient failures, rollbacks, and recovery. Cloud-Native & Containerized Architecture (Azure + Kubernetes) Practical experience with Azure cloud services (App Services, Cosmos DB, Service Bus/Event Hubs, Key Vault) and container workloads (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm). DevOps & Infrastructure as Code Mindset Strong CI/CD engineering practices (e.g., GitHub Actions), pipeline hardening, and automated testing (unit, integration, smoke and contract tests). Additional Skills that Could set you apart: Resilience & Idempotency by Design (Thinking in Systems & Failure Domains) Designing workflows where step failures are expected, retried safely, or cleanly rolled back without leaving orphaned resources or inconsistent tenant state. Cross-Platform Collaboration & Technical Ownership Proactively driving technical clarity and partnering with downstream product teams, SRE, and security to ensure frictionless product onboarding and smooth tenant rollouts. Operational & Reliability Excellence (SRE Mindset) Embedding telemetry from day one (APM, distributed tracing, structured logging, metrics), authoring crisp operational runbooks, and treating failure triages as learning opportunities.
