About the role

We are looking for a Senior .NET Backend Developer who combines strong system design skills with a passion for engineering excellence. In this role, you will take end-to-end ownership of core backend services - driving solutions from initial architecture through deployment and production across our cloud platforms.

Beyond shipping high-quality code, you will play a key role in raising the engineering bar across the team. You’ll mentor mid-level and junior developers, establish best practices around testability and clean architecture, and foster a collaborative environment. We also encourage our engineers to utilize modern AI developer tools (like Cursor, Claude code) to accelerate daily workflows and problem-solving.

Requirements

Responsibilities

• Mentorship & Team Leadership: Coach and mentor junior and mid-level developers, conduct constructive code reviews, and help elevate engineering standards across the team.

• System Design & Architecture: Help define architectural patterns, design scalable microservices, and ensure our event-driven integration flows are resilient and decoupled.

• Hands-on Service Development: Write clean, modular, and maintainable C# code targeting modern .NET Core runtimes.

• Messaging & Workflows: Build robust asynchronous integrations using Azure Service Bus and MassTransit.

• Quality & Performance: Champion automated unit testing, continuous integration, and proactive performance profiling.

• AI-Assisted Engineering: Utilize AI coding tools to boost daily productivity and streamline system troubleshooting.

What You Bring (Mandatory)

• 5+ years of hands-on backend software engineering experience with C# and .NET Core.

• Mentorship Experience: A proven track record of guiding junior/mid-level engineers, sharing knowledge, and fostering best practices (TDD, clean code, peer reviews).

• End-to-End Feature Ownership: Demonstrated experience designing and delivering backend features from initial idea to production deployment.

• Event-Driven Mastery: Solid understanding of microservices patterns and event-driven messaging (Azure Service Bus, MassTransit, RabbitMQ, Kafka, etc.).

• Azure Cloud Experience: Practical experience working with core Microsoft Azure infrastructure and cloud components.

• Testing Mindset: Deep appreciation for testable architecture and unit testing best practices.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration.

• Knowledge of SQL Server relational database design and optimization.

• Familiarity with modern CI/CD pipelines and DevOps workflows (Azure DevOps / GitHub Actions).

• Hands-on experience with MassTransit specifically.

• Experience with legacy system migration (.NET Framework to modern .NET).

• Familiarity with developer AI tooling (e.g., Cursor, Claude code).
