Job description

Our platform runs on .NET microservices. How those services are cut, how data flows between them, and how they reach production is decided by the people who build them - and we’d like you to be one of them.

You’ll work closely with our software architects, product owners, and fellow developers: code reviews, pair programming, and the technical decisions that stick around.

Your mission

  • You design and build microservices in C# and .NET Core 10 that carry our core business processes.
  • You own the data model: schemas in Postgres, caching in Redis where it pays off, reliable messaging over RabbitMQ.
  • You take services to production and keep the CI/CD pipeline fast enough that nobody avoids it.
  • You catch bottlenecks, security risks, and failure modes before users do.
  • You push for clean code and automated testing, and you share what you know instead of sitting on it.
  • You use coding agents as part of your daily workflow - directing their work, reviewing their output, and fixing what doesn’t hold up. Writing code matters; knowing what good code looks like matters more.

Requirements

  • You’ve spent several years building backend services in C# and .NET.
  • You’ve worked with microservice architectures and run Postgres, Redis, and RabbitMQ in production.
  • You know your way around architecture principles, performance optimization, and secure scalability.
  • You work well in agile teams (Scrum/Kanban), you write clearly, and you’re comfortable in English.
  • You have a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field - or the experience that makes one unnecessary., * You’ve worked with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform. We’re not in the cloud yet, so this is a plus, not a requirement.

About the company

We’re fully remote, so you work from wherever you do your best thinking. Agentic coding is part of our day-to-day, not a side experiment: we work with Claude Code across the team, and we’d want you to have an opinion about where it helps, where it doesn’t, and how to review what it produces. If that’s already your workflow, you’ll feel at home. If it isn’t yet, you’ll pick it up here., journaway is not a typical travel tech company. We’re the Anti-Holiday platform. We want our users to design and experience their bucket list dreams, to travel in a sustainable and social way, to get to know and fall in love with our beautiful world and its many hidden gems. To achieve this, we aim to revolutionize how people plan and book their trips. By seamlessly combining flights, hotels, excursions, rental cars, and more, we empower travelers to build customized travel experiences with ease. Our technology removes complexity to allow the user to focus on what truly matters - the journey itself.
