*The role *
We’ve recently welcomed a fast-growing software company into our group, which brings with it a rich variety of technologies and approaches. In order to streamline, harmonize, and build the next generation of our SaaS platform, we're looking for someone who doesn’t just want to maintain systems, but who’s excited by such opportunity. It’s a unique chance to leave a lasting mark by shaping a stronger, more scalable foundation for the future.
This is a role for someone who thrives in complex environments, can cut through noise, and wants the satisfaction of leaving something cleaner and stronger than they found it. If you’re the type who enjoys real technical challenges and wants to set a product on the right long-term path, keep reading.
*Your main responsibilities*
Architect for the future: Help us migrate from a patchwork of stacks to a lean, modern, and maintainable back-end.
Build real impact: Design and implement APIs that serve millions of users, ensuring reliability and scalability.
Hands-on contribution: Write production-grade code, not just diagrams.
Raise the bar: Lead by example in code reviews, testing, monitoring, and operational excellence.
Make tough calls: Influence key technical decisions and own them.
*What we’re looking for*
We’re looking for someone who:
- Brings senior-level expertise in at least two of our core stacks (PHP, C# .NET, Python).
- Has a strong track record of hands-on contributions (e.g., GitHub or equivalent) that demonstrates genuine engagement with building and problem-solving.
- Approaches challenges with both an engineering mindset and a product perspective: pragmatic, resourceful, and comfortable delivering end-to-end.
- Demonstrates solid software fundamentals: clean, maintainable, and scalable code, with a focus on testing and quality.
- Values collaboration and inclusivity, while being able to work autonomously when needed.
- Communicates effectively in professional English, both written and spoken.
- Cloud-native chops (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Containers & orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Some front-end awareness (React, Angular).
*Our tech environment*
Back-end: PHP, C# .NET, Python
Front-end: React, Angular
Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL
Hosting: GCP & Azure
Freedom of choice: OS & IDE
*Why Join?*
This isn’t just about maintaining what already exists — you’ll play a key role in transforming a fragmented system into a world-class platform.
It’s a rare opportunity to make a meaningful impact on technology used by millions of people.
If you’re looking for a role where every day is predictable, this may not be the right fit.
But if you’re motivated by complex technical challenges, enjoy building cleaner architecture and better systems, and want your work to have a lasting legacy, you’ll thrive here.
We aim to celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences.
