About Us
Here’s a chance for you to join forces with the team that builds and maintains core systems, clean APIs and business logic for services our customers rely on.
What You'll Do
- Design robust data models, write efficient database queries and own migrations and schema evolution
- Keep systems fast, resilient and easy to operate (think: performance tuning, retries, timeouts and sane defaults)
- Ship features end-to-end by collaborating closely with frontend, QA and product teams
- You’ll also help us implement background jobs and message-driven workflows, integrate with third‑party services and auth providers, and contribute to platform health.
What We're Looking For
- 3–5 years’ experience in backend software development
- strong software engineering fundamentals (algorithms, data modelling, reliability)
- confidence to reason through problems and write code independently, without relying on AI
- a pragmatic, product-focused approach to engineering and ownership
Must-have experiences:
- C# and ASP. NET Core (building APIs, middleware, routing)
- SQL Server and solid relational database design
- Designing and versioning APIs (contract‑first thinking)
- Data access patterns
- Authentication and authorization patterns (JWT, OAuth, session management)
- Git workflows and collaborative code review
- Cloud platforms and infrastructure‑as‑code
- Caching, message queues and Pub/Sub systems
- Containerization and orchestration
- Observability and error monitoring
- Event‑driven architecture and CQRS patterns
- Familiarity with frontend/full‑stack concepts to help shape APIs
- Background processing (scheduled jobs, worker services) and graceful error handling
- Regulated industries (fintech, igaming)
