At Devx Staffing, we've spent years building deep expertise in Entity Framework recruiting. We understand the nuances between code-first engineers who design models, migrations and fluent‑API mappings; database‑first or legacy maintainers who scaffold DbContext, reverse‑engineer schemas and keep EF6 apps stable; and performance‑focused devs who optimize LINQ, control change tracking, batching and SQL generation. That lets us match companies with talent who know when to use eager vs lazy loading, how to manage DbContext lifetimes, implement safe migrations across environments, and pick the right provider (SQL Server, PostgreSQL/Npgsql, MySQL, SQLite) for production. We vet practical skills in migrations, concurrency handling, raw SQL/stored proc integration, testing strategies (in‑memory/SQLite), and profiling so hires can contribute immediately to your .NET data stack.
