Lead Backend Engineer

As the Lead Backend Engineer at Telexistence, you will not only design, develop, and maintain the core backend services for our robotic operations management system but also lead and mentor a team of backend engineers. You will drive technical strategy and architectural decisions, ensuring that our backend systems are scalable, secure, and cost efficient for our subscription-based enterprise solution. You will work closely with frontend engineers, UX/UI designers, product managers, and operations teams to translate business requirements into effective technical solutions, while managing projects and collaborating with stakeholders across the organization.

We develop using C# and Unity/Blazor, enabling seamless collaboration between backend and frontend teams. This unified approach minimizes task fragmentation and enhances overall problem solving. Although our frontend has traditionally been built using Blazor and Unity, our backend remains the core engine for our operations and data processing, delivering secure communication through REST and gRPC APIs.
