Apply for this Position Position Overview
We're looking for a lead backend engineer to run a delivery workstream and the engineers in it. You will set technical direction for a set of services, stay hands-on in the code, and be accountable both for what the team ships and for how the people in it grow.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead a backend workstream: scope, sequencing, technical direction, and delivery commitments.
- Stay hands-on by writing and reviewing code on the hardest parts of the system.
- Own service boundaries, data ownership, and the contracts between your services and everyone else's.
- Run design reviews and make the call when the team cannot converge on its own.
- Set engineering standards for the team: testing, observability, migrations, and operational readiness.
- Grow the engineers in the team through one-to-ones, feedback, and deliberate work assignment.
- Work with product to turn a roadmap into a plan the team can actually deliver.
- Own the operational health of your services, including incident response and the follow-up afterwards.
Skills & Qualifications
- 7-10 years of backend engineering experience with strong .NET / C# depth.
- Experience leading a team's technical direction while remaining hands-on.
- Deep microservices experience: boundaries, messaging with Kafka, and failure handling.
- Strong PostgreSQL and Redis experience at production scale.
- Comfortable owning Kubernetes-deployed services and the pipelines that ship them.
- Experience giving direct feedback and helping engineers improve on the back of it.
- Ability to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders without losing the substance.
Nice to Have
- Experience hiring and onboarding backend engineers.
- Background in fintech, payments, or another domain with hard correctness requirements.
- Experience running an incident review that changed how the team works.
- Exposure to Go or Node.js services alongside .NET.
What You'll Gain
- Competitive salary.
- Fully remote — work from wherever you're most productive.
- Annual learning budget for books, courses, and conferences.
- Top-tier hardware and software tooling.
- Private health insurance and flexible time off.
