## About the Role

* 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.

## 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.
