Job description

We are looking for exceptionally smart people with strong development skills in C# and an avid interest in web development. You should be able to learn quickly and work independently - we'll help you as best as we can, but you must be tenacious and resourceful enough to figure out things you don't know how to do.

Our culture is results-driven, valuing execution and creativity. You'll get a lot of ownership over your deliverables, and we trust you to ship high-quality products on time. You will be part of a high-performing cross-functional team where you get to witness the direct impact of your work - seeing applications go live and real-world usage.

As a Software Engineering Lead, you will play a key role in providing technical and team leadership, mentoring engineers, and contributing to the team’s growth and performance, while ensuring alignment with business goals.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain mission-critical systems, delivering high-availability and performance.
• Own end-to-end delivery responsibility for modules, participate in Continuous Integration activities, automation frameworks for testing and deployments, and other related items in addition to contributing to core product code.
• Lead and mentor a team of software engineers, fostering a culture of high performance and collaboration.
• Design, document, and implement efficient API endpoints.
• Implement security and data-protection best practices.
• Drive key technical and architectural designs with a close eye on maintainability, performance, and security.
• Conduct code reviews.
• Interact with business and technical stakeholders to deliver high-quality products and services that meet business requirements and expectations.

You’ll get to work in a fast-paced environment, with a great team of full-stack engineers who have a lot of experience in building large software applications from scratch.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related fields.
• At least 8 years of experience in a software engineering role, including proven leadership experience.
• Solid programming ability and at least 4 years experience in building web applications using C#.
• Strong server-side programming experience in C#.
• Experience with RESTful APIs and microservices development.
• Good understanding of SQL and experience with databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.
• Knowledge and experience in developing software using agile methodologies.
• Passion for delivering zero-defect high-quality code, with a proactive mindset.
• Communicate effectively with team members and stakeholders in English, both verbally and in writing.
• Ability to work independently and structure timelines, take ownership and responsibility, and communicate clearly.
• Demonstrated experience in leading engineering teams, including mentoring engineers, guiding technical decisions, and fostering a collaborative development environment.
• Strong sense of ownership over both technical delivery and team performance.

Any experience in the one or more of the following is a definite plus:

• Experience with AWS, Azure, or any other cloud platforms;
• Worked on non-trivial Javascript applications (and experience in VueJS).

If you've built something in the past, do let us know. Github and/or StackOverflow profiles are welcome.

We seek your understanding that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
