What You’ll Be Up To:

• Designing scalable, reliable systems with a clear focus on maintainability and long-term sustainability.
• Driving architectural decisions, collaborating across teams to ensure solid system design and technical consistency.
• Guiding and mentoring other engineers by working through them and prioritizing team success over individual delivery.
• Proactively identifying technical improvements, system optimizations, and architectural opportunities—without waiting for someone to ask.
• Supporting engineering teams with self-service infrastructure and automation (AWS, Terraform).
• Ensuring platform reliability through best practices in monitoring, logging, and operational excellence.
• Participating in on-call rotations and supporting the team in resolving production issues with a calm, collaborative approach.

What You’ll Bring to the Team :

• 8+ years of experience in backend engineering, including at least a few years of technical leadership.
• Expert-level knowledge of C# (.NET) development and solid experience with PostgreSQL (or strong SQL proficiency).
• Deep understanding of cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS (or other major cloud platforms).
• Strong background in designing and building distributed systems and scalable architectures.
• A practical, balanced mindset: you care deeply about quality but know when it's time to ship.
• Clear, concise communication skills—able to collaborate cross-functionally and explain complex ideas in simple terms.
• A proactive attitude: you don’t wait for permission to improve things.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform), and containerization (Docker, ECS, or Kubernetes).
• Bonus: Familiarity with event-driven architectures (Kafka is a plus, not a must).

What We Offer:

• A Diverse & International Team – Work alongside passionate experts from various disciplines and backgrounds, fostering a truly global perspective.
• Flat Hierarchy & Flexible Structure – Enjoy autonomy and ownership in an environment that values collaboration over rigid hierarchies.
