Job-specific introduction
Do you think of life as an infinite set of microservices? Do you envision a serverless future? Where scale and performance are only limited by our imagination? Then we suspect you might want to read on.

As a Back-End Engineer, you will be working on cloud-native applications that support user-facing applications, integrate with various systems, and enable data intelligence. In a world where technology is evolving at an unprecedented (and ever-increasing) rate, it is crucial to have a modular, scalable, extendable cloud platform where updates can be deployed in minutes. It will be the responsibility of you and your team to build such a platform, using the most appropriate combination of cloud, application, and database technologies.

What you will do?
As a part of the team, you will be taking part in the continuous development of the products that are in the care of your team. Day to day, this means developing new user stories, fixing bugs, creating & reviewing pull requests, documenting your work (code comments, readme, confluence,..), performing research, making suggestions for product improvements and communicating clearly about your progress. Together with your colleagues, you will be making sure the product meets all functional and non-functional requirements. As an engineer, you understand that producing clean, readable, and testable code is always a priority.

Who you are?

You have a solid grasp of common software engineering practices, like OOP principles, modern design patterns, test-driven development, continuous integration and continuous deployment. You are a big fan of clean code and clean architecture, and you apply those principles to produce clean, readable and testable code. You are always keen to learn new things, share your knowledge, adapt to change and learn from past experiences. You are able to work in a team and are always open for feedback from your teammates. You understand the importance of application security and data security, and know how that affects your job. Excellent knowledge of C# and .NET 6+ (8 years minimum). Excellent knowledge of Docker. Excellent knowledge of Azure or Google Cloud Platform/Amazon Web Services. Knowledge of database technologies such as Redis, MongoDB, InfluxDB.
