Role Summary

The single hands-on Sonata person sitting with the customer for the whole build. This person writes code, runs the AI-assisted workflow, and owns the day-to-day relationship with the customer's dev leads. This is not a coordinator role — the person must be hands-on from day one. An eight-week run has no ramp-up room, so the person must already live and breathe AI-based SDLC.

Must have

• 12+ years in software engineering, with recent hands-on delivery (not an architect who has stopped coding).
• Working command of AI-assisted SDLC: spec-driven development, context engineering, agent and skill authoring.
• Practical Claude Code experience — Client has standardized on it.
• Strong .NET 10 and Azure: App Services, Static Web Apps, containers and AKS.
• GitHub (target state) and Azure DevOps; Jira for backlog intake.
• Able to stand in front of a customer daily, take hard questions and keep an eight-week clock honest.

• Terraform and Kubernetes in a regulated or high-throughput logistics setting.

At Sonata, you´ll have an outstanding opportunity. The chance to use your skills and imagination to push the boundaries of what´s possible. To build never seen before solutions to some of the world’s toughest problems. You´ll be challenged, but you will not be alone. You´ll be joining a team of diverse innovators, all driven to go beyond the status quo to craft what comes next.
