At TF Bank and Avarda, you will have the chance to be part of an exciting journey as we build a state-of-the-art platform that is transforming how e-commerce merchants manage payments. As a Tech Lead, you will play a pivotal role in guiding the design and development of our backend systems, ensuring scalability, performance, and technical excellence across the platform.

Why should you join us?

We offer more than just a technical challenge. You will become part of a team building the payment solutions of the future with modern and unified technology. With us, you can grow both technically and culturally as we shape stronger work processes and develop innovative solutions for future products. We are building a modern platform that supports both existing and upcoming products, and you will help shape a stronger company culture and more effective ways of working.

Our backend platform is based on .NET microservices, primarily hosted in Azure. At the core of our system is Corniche, an API-driven core banking system that handles all financial transactions.

We have a distributed tech team with members in Borås, Stockholm, Gdansk, Malaga, and a partner in the Czech Republic. Travel may occur.

Your responsibilities:

• Lead the design and development of microservices and their architecture using .NET Core.
• Drive cloud-based solution design and ensure robust, scalable, and reliable services using Azure Cloud Native.
• Oversee continuous integration, delivery, and deployment using Kubernetes, Docker, and Azure Pipelines.
• Optimize systems and applications for high performance, reliability, and maintainability.
• Implement and improve logging and observability using OpenTelemetry.
• Mentor and guide developers of varying seniority, contributing actively to technical and architectural decisions.
• Collaborate across distributed teams and ensure alignment on technical strategy and best practices.

We believe you have:

• Extensive experience in software engineering, typically 8–10 years, with strong expertise in C#, .NET Core, and Azure.
• Several years of experience in senior, lead, or architect-level roles, ideally as a Tech Lead today.
• Proven experience working with transaction-intensive systems and agile development processes.
• Deep understanding of system architecture and hands-on experience designing and maintaining microservices.
• Experience leading engineering teams or technical initiatives in distributed environments.
• Experience in e-commerce, payment solutions, or finance is a plus, as well as familiarity with systems like Corniche, Mambu, or similar.
