With extensive experience in .NET and Azure, I have built scalable, event-driven microservices and actively integrate AI tools like GitHub Copilot and Azure OpenAI into my daily workflow. My background includes leading platform features from design to deployment, mentoring peers, and driving AI-augmented development practices. I am eager to bring my technical judgment and passion for clean code to your team. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to discussing how I can contribute to the DTP+ platform. Sincerely, [Your Name] Copy ### Sample Interview Questions Describe a time you integrated an LLM API into a production feature. What challenges did you face and how did you address them?In my previous role, I integrated Azure OpenAI to automate customer support ticket categorization. Challenges included latency and cost management. I implemented caching for common queries and used prompt engineering to reduce token usage, achieving a 40% improvement in response time.How do you ensure code quality in an AI-augmented development workflow?I use AI tools for initial code generation but always review and test the output. I enforce unit tests and conduct peer reviews, focusing on edge cases and security. I also leverage AI to generate test suites and then refine them manually.Walk me through how you would design a new microservice for the DTP+ platform. What considerations are key?I would start by understanding the domain and event flow, then define bounded contexts. Key considerations include statelessness, asynchronous communication via events, data partitioning for scalability, and idempotency for fault tolerance. I'd also incorporate observability with logging and metrics.How do you stay updated with AI advancements and apply them to your engineering work?I follow AI research blogs and attend webinars. I experiment with new tools like Cursor and evaluate them for productivity gains. For example, I adopted Windsurf for its multi-file refactoring capabilities, which I now use daily.Describe your approach to mentoring a junior developer on AI-native practices.I would pair with them on a task, demonstrating how to use AI tools for code generation and debugging. I'd encourage them to ask 'why' and review AI suggestions critically. We'd discuss best practices like prompt specificity and verifying outputs. Dayforce is a global human capital management (HCM) company headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, with operations across North America, Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA), and the Asia Pacific Japan (APJ) region.Our award-winning Cloud HCM platform offers a unified solution database and continuous calculation engine, driving efficiency, productivity and compliance for the global workforce.Our brand promise – Makes Work Life Better™ – Reflects our commitment to employees, customers, partners and communities globally.About the opportunityThe Dayforce Tax and Payments (DTP+) Product Engineering team is building the industry’s next generation of Tax and Financial Services — a cloud-native, microservices-based platform on Azure that is replacing a decade-old monolithic system and handling hundreds of billions of dollars in tax liability and fund movement annually.This is not a role for someone planning to adopt AI tooling someday. We are looking for engineers who are already working AI-natively — developers who reach for Copilot, Claude, or an LLM API the same way they reach for a compiler. You use AI to write, review, test, and reason about code every day. That is the baseline. What we want to build on top of that baseline is deep platform engineering skill, strong fundamentals, and the kind of technical judgment that comes from having shipped real things.As a Senior Software Developer on a DTP+ scrum team, you will design and deliver platform features across the Collections, Payments, Customer Profile, Agency Compliance, and eFile services. You will work directly with Architects, Product Managers, and peer developers to shape technically sound, well-engineered solutions for a platform that North American employers and regulators depend on.If you are a senior or lead engineer who takes pride in clean code, thinks carefully about system design, and is genuinely excited about the shift to AI-augmented software delivery — we want to talk.What you’ll get to do • Design and deliver highly scalable, event-driven microservices features across the DTP+ platform — from data ingestion through fund movement and compliance filing • Work AI-natively every day — use AI coding tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, or equivalent) as a primary productivity layer for feature development, code review, and debugging • Integrate LLM APIs and AI patterns where they add genuine product value — including calling Azure OpenAI or equivalent APIs, building prompt chains, and applying RAG patterns to real features • Contribute to the team’s AI practices — share what works, help teammates level up on AI-assisted testing and code review, and bring new patterns to the scrum team’s workflow • Drive design and code reviews, ensuring solutions are clean, testable, performant, and consistent with platform conventions • Write high-quality unit, integration, and regression tests — including AI-generated test suites where appropriate • Mentor fellow developers on software engineering fundamentals, clean code principles, and AI-augmented development practices • Build working proof-of-concepts and make concrete technology recommendations to improve scalability, maintainability, and quality • Participate in Product discussions to advise on and influence the DTP+ roadmap • Take ownership of development initiatives end-to-end — design, implement, test, ship, and supportSkills and experience we valueAI-Native Development — Must HaveThese are not aspirational.
