C# Software Developer - Windows Console Programming

Job Description

We are seeking a C# Software Developer with expertise in implementing WMIC (Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line), SMB (Server Message Block) protocols, P2P (Peer-to-Peer) communication using UDP protocols, and remote host troubleshooting through a Windows Console Application. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, maintaining, and troubleshooting remote systems using these technologies.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and Develop Windows Console Applications : Work with a team to design and implement a console application in C# that uses WMIC, SMB, P2P communication with UDP protocols, and remote troubleshooting.
• WMIC Integration : Use WMIC commands within the C# application to query, configure, and manage Windows-based systems remotely.
• SMB Protocol Implementation : Develop features in the application to integrate with SMB, allowing file sharing, network communication, and access management.
• P2P Communication Using UDP : Implement Peer-to-Peer communication between Windows hosts using UDP protocols for lightweight, fast, and connectionless communication. Design reliable data exchange mechanisms despite the nature of UDP, which does not guarantee delivery.
• Remote Host Troubleshooting : Develop and integrate tools within the console application to remotely troubleshoot Windows hosts. This includes diagnosing system issues, monitoring performance, collecting system logs, and making necessary configurations via WMIC, SMB, or other available protocols.
• Policy Editor Development : Create a Policy Editor component to manage user policies, permissions, and system configurations directly within the console application.
• Security and Policy Configuration : Ensure security best practices are followed, including handling encryption, authentication, and policy enforcement through Windows Policy Management APIs.
• Troubleshooting and Debugging : Diagnose issues related to WMIC, SMB, P2P communication (UDP), and remote hosts. Provide effective solutions for system errors and network communication problems.
• Performance Optimization : Optimize the application for performance and scalability, especially when handling large-scale Windows environments, SMB communication, UDP-based peer-to-peer connections, and remote host troubleshooting tasks.
• Documentation : Write comprehensive technical documentation including user manuals, API documentation, and application flow.
• Testing & Maintenance : Collaborate in testing and ensuring that the application is reliable and maintainable. Provide ongoing maintenance and updates as necessary.
  
  

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Proven Experience in C# Development : Minimum 3-5 years of experience in developing Windows Console Applications using C#.
• Strong Knowledge of WMIC and WMI : Experience with Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and using WMIC commands to manage and troubleshoot Windows systems remotely.
• Experience with SMB Protocol : Knowledge of networking, file sharing, and security features of the SMB protocol.
• P2P Communication Expertise (UDP) : Experience in developing or integrating Peer-to-Peer communication between Windows hosts using UDP protocols. Understanding of the nuances of connectionless communication and implementing mechanisms to handle packet loss, retries, and latency.
• Remote Troubleshooting : Proven experience in remotely diagnosing and troubleshooting Windows hosts using console applications, WMIC, SMB, and P2P connections.
• Windows Policy Management : Experience in implementing or using the Windows Group Policy or Local Policy Editor via C# or APIs.
• Familiarity with Windows System Internals : A strong understanding of Windows OS architecture, system logs, and administration tools.
• Experience in Network Protocols : Good knowledge of TCP/IP, SMB, UDP, and other relevant networking protocols.
• Experience in Security : Experience working with encryption, authentication, and secure communications, especially in network environments.
• Problem Solving & Analytical Skills : Ability to troubleshoot complex systems, including remote hosts, and optimize application performance.
• Good Communication Skills : Ability to work well in a team and explain complex concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  
  

Preferred Skills

• Experience in scripting using PowerShell or batch scripts.
• Knowledge of Active Directory, LDAP, and other directory services.
• Familiarity with Azure Active Directory or Cloud-based policy management.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines for build automation.
• Familiarity with unit testing frameworks for .NET applications.
  
  

Why Join Us ?

• Innovative Work Environment : Work on cutting-edge technologies to develop tools that enhance Windows system management, communication, and remote troubleshooting.
• Growth Opportunities : Opportunity to learn and work with the latest Windows APIs, P2P communication (UDP), and networking protocols.
• Competitive Salary : Offering a competitive salary package and benefits.
