As a .NET engineer, you create applications using the .NET Framework. The .NET web application framework from Microsoft runs on the Windows operating system. The platform has an extensive library and provides a platform that allows language interoperability. A .NET engineer can use various programming languages to build applications and software. Microsoft introduced the .NET Framework for creating applications on Windows only, but the updated versions of .NET LIKE and .NET Core allow adaptability with MacOS and Linux.
The Microsoft Framework is useful in developing web applications, interactive artificial intelligence models and cloud applications. The daily tasks of a .NET engineer range from dealing with helpdesk tickets related to the .NET Framework to responding to emails. As a .NET engineer, you also programme .NET applications and create wireframes or virtual prototypes with front-end developers. Your job includes fixing bugs and troubleshooting cloud and web applications.
Aside from working with the front-end team, you also participate in back-end web development. Hence, you should be familiar with the software development cycle and how to use the programming languages and tools involved.
As a .NET engineer, you work for large technology companies or multinational firms that rely on .NET cloud and web applications. However, smaller companies that use the .NET Framework also hire .NET engineers to program applications.
