We are seeking a highly experienced Senior
Backend Engineer with 10+ years of professional software development
experience to lead the design, development, and evolution of our core
backend systems.
You will architect and maintain scalable
.NET Core and .NET Framework services, design high-performance SQL Server
solutions, and contribute to ETL pipelines and reporting processes. You will
play a key role in defining backend standards, ensuring system reliability, and
guiding the technical direction of our platform.
While this role is primarily
backend-focused, you will collaborate closely with frontend engineers building
Vue.js applications and will be encouraged to expand your influence across the
application stack over time. The role offers a clear pathway to broader full-stack
ownership, contributing to end-to-end solution design and frontend–backend
alignment as part of your continued growth.
This position requires strong architectural
judgment, production-grade system design expertise, and the ability to mentor
engineers while upholding technical standards and long-term maintainability.
The ideal candidate is a strategic
technical leader who remains hands-on while shaping system reliability,
scalability, and engineering best practices.
