Senior C#/.NET Developer

Luxoft Poland; Kraków; Remote; PLN 307.000 - 395.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Luxoft Poland is seeking a senior backend engineer to own and evolve distributed .NET services across a nine-environment platform. The role is remote from within the EU time zone and may involve leading a small local team.

You will work with MassTransit sagas, RabbitMQ, and observability tools, collaborating with a NYC team, writing design docs, and driving reliable deployment practices.

Qualifikationen

• 8+ years of commercial software engineering in server-side .NET.
• Experience with RabbitMQ or comparable brokers (Kafka, Azure Service Bus).
• Deep understanding of distributed systems, reliability, ordering, and deduplication.
• Saga-style or long-running workflow experience.
• Writes meaningful tests: unit, integration, and contract tests.
• Comfort deploying .NET services on Windows Server.
• Mentored engineers and conducted code reviews.
• Clear technical writing for docs and PR descriptions.
• Self-directed and reliable in a remote, asynchronous context.

Aufgaben

• Design and implement backend features across .NET services, MassTransit sagas, and infrastructure layers.
• Own assigned subsystems: understand design rationale, identify improvements, drive implementation.
• Lead and mentor EU-based developers when needed.
• Collaborate asynchronously with NYC-based team lead and wider client team.
• Contribute to design discussions, docs, and architecture decisions as a full peer.
• Maintain observability, deployment practices, and platform reliability.

Jobbeschreibung

Client's application is a modern distributed application platform built on .NET and Windows, structured as a monorepo and operated across nine environments. It integrates a 30-year-old core financial system with modern consumers by providing event-driven processing, saga orchestration, API gateway, and observability infrastructure. The platform is maintained by a small, senior team. Engineers here own the full stack from architecture through production operations.

The problems the candidate will work on are fundamentally distributed systems and platform engineering problems. A representative sample of current and near-term workstreams:

• Blue/green deployment topology: zero-downtime service cutover using RabbitMQ exchange binding management, slot affinity middleware, and a topology reconciler. Stateless, eventually consistent, and operationally simple by design.
• Release and deployment pipeline: GitOps-style release management with strongly-typed release candidates, deployment profiles, and CalVer artifact versioning across a nine-environment promotion pipeline.
• Structured observability: Splunk Cloud log aggregation, structured log properties, distributed tracing via MassTransit/OpenTelemetry, and RabbitMQ queue metrics.
• Regression framework: an event-driven, eventually consistent, embarrassingly parallel regression system that compares PROD and UAT output streams per correlation ID using developer-written reconcilers.
• Saga-driven trade processing: multi-stream correlation, idempotent booking, ordered state machine transitions, and durable state across service restarts — all via MassTransit and MongoDB.

Responsibilities:

The successful candidate will join client's team as a senior engineer working remotely from within the EU time zone. They will work autonomously on large, critical subsystems of the platform, possibly lead a small local team (also in the EU), and serve as the primary engineering contact for that team's day-to-day execution. They are not a delivery manager — they are a hands-on engineer who also leads.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Design and implement backend features across Kepler's .NET/Windows services, MassTransit sagas, and infrastructure layers.
• Take technical ownership of assigned Kepler subsystems: understand their design rationale, identify improvement opportunities, and drive implementation.
• Possibly lead and mentor EU-based developers: code review, pairing, unblocking, and growing their capability over time.
• Collaborate asynchronously with the NYC-based team lead and wider client's team. Reliable written communication across a 5–6 hour time difference is essential.
• Contribute to design discussions, technical documentation, and architecture decisions as a full peer — not a ticket-taker.
• Maintain and improve observability, deployment practices, and platform reliability for the areas they own

Mandatory Skills Description:

• 8+ years of commercial software engineering experience, the majority in server-side .NET development in production environments.
• Hands‑on experience with RabbitMQ or a comparable broker (Kafka, Azure Service Bus). Understands exchanges/queues/bindings or equivalent topology concepts — not just 'I have used a queue'.
• Demonstrable distributed systems depth: has built things that had to be reliable, had to handle message ordering and deduplication, and had consequences when they were wrong.
• Experience with saga‑style or long‑running workflow patterns. Has implemented stateful multi‑step processing where steps arrive out of order, from multiple sources, or with long windows.
• Writes meaningful tests as part of normal development — not as an afterthought. Understands the difference between unit, integration, and contract tests and applies them appropriately.
• Comfortable deploying and running .NET services on Windows Server. Does not require a Linux/container environment to be productive.
• Has led or mentored engineers in some capacity — formal or informal. Can explain their approach to code review, feedback, and developing junior engineers.
• Reads and writes clear technical prose. Can produce a design document, a runbook entry, or a detailed pull request description without prompting.
• Asks the right questions about a new codebase rather than immediately reaching for rewrites. Respects existing design decisions until they understand them.
• Self‑directed and reliable in a remote, asynchronous context. Has done this before and can point to how they managed it.

Strongly Preferred

Candidates who bring several of these will be significantly stronger fits. None are individually disqualifying to be missing.

• Experience with HashiCorp Nomad or a comparable orchestrator (understanding of job scheduling, placement, health checks).
• Familiarity with Consul or a comparable service discovery and KV store.
• Experience with MassTransit specifically — its publish topology, saga persistence, outbox pattern, or transport configuration.
• MongoDB experience, particularly as a document store for structured state (not necessarily as a primary database).
• Exposure to YARP or other programmatic reverse proxy / API gateway frameworks.
• Experience with Splunk or a comparable log aggregation and search platform.
• Familiarity with OpenTelemetry and distributed tracing concepts.
• Experience operating services across multiple environments with a promotion pipeline (dev → staging → production or equivalent).

Nice-to-Have Skills Description:

• Experience with Next.js or TypeScript
• Familiarity with Jenkins or GitHub Actions CI pipelines.
• Exposure to JFrog Artifactory or similar artifact management.
• Any financial systems context — even adjacent (payments, order management, data pipelines) — as background, not a requirement.
