What Does a .NET Developer Do?
A .NET developer builds web APIs, services and business applications in C# on .NET, often alongside SQL Server and Azure. The stack is deeply embedded in enterprise environments, so the work tends to involve long-lived, business-critical systems.
Microsoft's ecosystem is fully cloud-capable, and .NET roles are widely offered remotely, particularly by established companies.
