About hiring .NET engineers
Everything to know before you hire .NET talent
Hire .NET developers for business-critical systems that need strong typing, solid tooling and a clear path to the cloud. Speqto engineers build with C#, ASP.NET Core and Azure, and migrate older .NET Framework applications, serving CTOs and operations leaders who want maintainable enterprise software and steady, visible delivery.
Modern .NET is cross-platform, fast and well documented. ASP.NET Core serves high-throughput APIs on Linux containers as comfortably as on Windows servers. Entity Framework Core, minimal APIs, background services and gRPC cover most back-end needs without hunting for third-party glue. That fit shortens the path from requirement to working feature, and it reduces the number of custom components your team must maintain.
It is especially strong inside organizations already using Microsoft technology: Active Directory or Entra ID for sign-in, SQL Server, Azure services, Office integrations and Power Platform. Developers who know the surrounding ecosystem save weeks on authentication, deployment and reporting that generic back-end engineers would have to learn. Questions about hosting, configuration and secrets are included too, because a service that works locally but cannot be deployed repeatably does not help the business.
How we vet .NET developers
We test C# properly: async and await, LINQ and its performance traps, generics, nullable reference types, records and dependency injection. Candidates explain how they would structure an ASP.NET Core solution, handle configuration and secrets, and write integration tests with a real database in a container. We also look at how candidates discuss legacy code, since many .NET engagements involve older solutions where careful, test-first change matters more than clever design.
For senior roles we add architecture topics such as clean or vertical-slice design, CQRS where it genuinely helps, messaging with Azure Service Bus or RabbitMQ, and Entity Framework pitfalls like tracking overhead and migrations. Those who have moved .NET Framework code to current .NET get extra weight on upgrade projects. Good candidates are comfortable saying what they would not build, for example avoiding heavy abstractions for a small service, which keeps costs and complexity down.
How the engagement works
Tell us your stack, hosting and goals, and we will send suitable profiles within about two business days. Developers join your repositories, pipelines and planning, and demonstrate working software every week. The first weeks cover environment setup, a code and dependency review, and a small production change, so you can judge quality, communication and speed from real work and not interview answers.
You can add a single senior engineer or a team with QA and DevOps. We ask for 30 days notice when scaling. NDAs are available on request, and all code and IP is assigned to you. Developers use AI assistants for boilerplate and unit tests, with human review before anything merges. We can also match engineers who have worked with Microsoft identity, SQL Server tuning or reporting tools when your project depends on them.
Why teams hire from Speqto
A bench, not a single freelancer
If an engineer is unavailable or the fit is wrong, a replacement comes from the same bench, with knowledge handed over.
Versioned REST and gRPC services with authentication, validation, health checks and OpenAPI documentation, ready to run in containers or App Service.
Azure cloud solutions
Applications using App Service, Functions, Service Bus, Key Vault and Azure SQL, deployed through Bicep or Terraform with monitoring in Application Insights.
Enterprise line-of-business apps
Workflow-heavy systems with role-based access, audit trails, reporting and integration with ERPs, identity providers and document stores. Integrations are tested against realistic data.
Framework to modern .NET migration
Moving .NET Framework and WCF applications to current .NET in stages, using the upgrade assistant and tests that protect behavior.
Blazor and web front ends
Interactive web interfaces in Blazor or paired with a JavaScript front end, built with component reuse and accessibility in mind.
Performance and diagnostics
Profiling memory and CPU, fixing slow queries and allocations, and adding structured logging and tracing for faster incident response.

How to hire
Hire .NET talent in four steps
A short, low-risk path from your brief to a working engineer. If the first engineer is not right, we replace them.
1
Share your brief
Tell us the role, stack, hours overlap and how long you need the engineer. A 20-minute call is usually enough.
2
Get vetted profiles
In about two business days you receive candidates with assessment notes, code samples and availability.
3
Interview and trial
Speak to the engineers yourself. Start with a short paid trial and continue only if the fit is right.
4
Onboard and ship
Your engineer joins stand-ups and repositories, demos weekly and is backed by a delivery lead.
Included
Every engineer comes with
No hidden extras: the basics of a safe, managed engagement are part of the package.

FAQ
Hire .NET Developers FAQs
Straight answers on cost, timelines, IP ownership, team setup and how we work. Cannot find yours? Ask a solutions architect directly.
Should we move from .NET Framework to modern .NET?
Usually yes, because .NET Framework receives little new development and modern .NET offers better performance, containers and long-term support. The path depends on dependencies such as WCF or Web Forms, so we assess the codebase first.
Can .NET run on Linux and in containers?
Yes. Modern .NET runs on Linux, macOS and Windows, and ASP.NET Core works well in Docker and Kubernetes. Many teams cut hosting complexity by moving to containers on Azure, AWS or on-premise clusters. Containers also simplify local development and testing.
Do your .NET developers work with Azure DevOps?
Yes, along with GitHub Actions and other CI tools. They can set up build and release pipelines, environments and approvals, and they follow your existing branching and review rules. We document pipelines so your team can maintain them.
Can you extend an application built by another vendor?
Yes. We begin with a code review and a short stabilization phase to understand structure, risks and test coverage, then plan changes. Full documentation and handover notes are produced as part of the work. Findings are shared openly with your team.
