Senior Backend Engineer (Remote in Portugal possible)

Are you passionate about software craftsmanship and love working with a team of like-minded techies? Do you enjoy working with highly scalable services and applications in the cloud? Do you prefer to work remotely following a schedule that fits your lifestyle? Then come join us in our quest to make translations easier for everyone!

The role you’ll play:

As our .NET Engineer, you will have the chance to help modernize our core application and develop valuable features for our translators, customers and internal experts. You will collaborate with several experienced engineering teams and contribute to bring new products and services to life using a cloud-native tech stack. Your focus will be on the implementation of new backend functionality, sometimes requiring frontend work as well.

The team you’ll be part of…

You will join the Core Platform tribe. You will work closely with the other teams in the tribe in a distributed and international setup.

The Core Platform team develops and maintains the customer and translator portal, the translation workflow orchestration engine, an internal API and much more. Our team handles both the Frontend (Razor templates + JavaScript and Typescript) and several backend services (.NET Core + Kubernetes/VMSS in Azure).

We strongly believe that the best way to create great products is to give the team ownership of the development lifecycle. All teams are cross-functional, work with the “you build it, you run it” paradigm and are responsible for running the services that they develop in production.

You’ll report to your Team Lead, and you’ll work closely with our Director of Core Platform.

If you want to make a difference:

• Building scalable cloud solutions with a focus on backend
• Working closely with our Product specialists to ensure our solutions work seamlessly and add tons of value to our users
• Writing and reviewing highly readable, clean, maintainable code
• Having high quality standards when delivering features and covering them with automated tests

What you’ll need to bring:

• 3+ years of work experience with C#, .Net Core, relational databases and web APIs
• Passionate about software craftsmanship and continuously growing your technical skills
• An agile mindset focused on outcome over output
• Fluent English

We encourage you to apply if you’re familiar with .NET but the bulk of your experience is with a different stack.

This will make you stand out

• Experience with containerized microservices in a cloud native setting
• Experience with SQL Server
• Proven coding skills with JavaScript and/or Typescript in a frontend context
• Experience with common frontend frameworks like jQuery, Vue or React
