C# engineers for systems the business depends on
Hire .NET Developers
Add senior, pre-vetted .NET developers to your team — ASP.NET Core services, Azure infrastructure and the migrations that get you off an unsupported framework. You manage them; Devs-Hive handles employment and retention.
How do you hire .NET developers?
To hire .NET developers, write the brief around the runtime and the estate — which .NET version, which database, which cloud, and whether there is legacy .NET Framework in the picture — then review pre-vetted candidates, interview your shortlist and onboard the ones you choose — typically within one to two weeks. A brief that says only “senior C# developer” produces a shortlist you will spend weeks filtering. With Devs-Hive the developers work exclusively on your systems and are managed by you, while we employ them and handle payroll, taxes and retention.
Where .NET developers earn their keep
.NET is rarely chosen for a weekend project. It shows up where the system has to be correct, auditable and still running in ten years — which shapes both the work and the kind of engineer who is good at it.
Back ends that carry the business
ASP.NET Core APIs, background workers and scheduled jobs behind order processing, billing, claims, logistics and reporting — the systems where an outage is a phone call from the CFO rather than a support ticket.
Domain modelling in C#
Entity Framework Core, clean separation between domain and infrastructure, and a data model that reflects how the business actually works. .NET rewards teams who take modelling seriously and punishes those who do not.
Azure, and the parts of it you actually use
App Service, Azure Functions, Service Bus, SQL Database, Key Vault, Application Insights and the pipelines that deploy to them. Most .NET estates we meet are on Azure, and knowing it is part of the job description.
Integration with everything else
SQL Server and Oracle, SAP and Dynamics, message queues, SOAP endpoints nobody wants to touch, and file drops that have been running since before the current team joined.
Legacy .NET Framework migration
Moving applications off .NET Framework and older .NET Core versions onto a supported release — incrementally, with the old and new running in parallel, rather than as a single high-risk cutover weekend.
Testing and observability
xUnit or NUnit coverage that means something, integration tests against a real database, structured logging and Application Insights traces that let you answer "what happened at 02:14" without guessing.
The migration nobody wants to start
A large share of .NET hiring is driven by one problem: an application on .NET Framework, or on a .NET version that has fallen out of support, which still runs a meaningful part of the business. The security argument for moving is easy to make and the engineering argument is easy to lose, because the work is unglamorous and the failure modes are expensive. So the project gets deferred, and each year of deferral makes the eventual jump larger.
The version that works is incremental. Inventory the dependencies first and identify the ones with no supported successor — that list, not the application code, is usually what decides the timeline. Put an entry point in front of the legacy application so traffic can be routed per route rather than per deployment. Extract one bounded piece at a time onto current .NET, run it in parallel, compare outputs against the old path, then move the traffic. Repeat until the legacy application has nothing left to serve. The old system keeps working throughout, which is what makes the plan defensible to the people who have to approve it.
The other reason to hire is capacity for a fixed push: an integration programme, a reporting platform, a compliance deadline. That is what team extension and outstaffing are built for — extra senior C# developers for the duration, then back to a steady team. Where there is no internal lead to run the work, a dedicated team brings its own. And if the estate has a front end as well, we staff React developers alongside the C# engineers rather than stretching one person across both.
