About The Position

We are seeking a Software Engineer to develop, test, and maintain backend services using .NET (C#; F# experience or willingness to learn). You will implement and document APIs (REST/gRPC) with guidance on versioning and security. You will work on event-driven pipelines using Kafka (produce/consume messages, handle basic consumer groups, and retries). You will assist in building systems for higher volume, near real-time event processing; implement batching, retry/backoff, and monitoring patterns. You will implement or collaborate on front-end tasks as needed (JavaScript/TypeScript, React/Angular basics). You will participate in CI/CD, automated testing (unit/integration), and observability (logs, metrics, tracing). You will collaborate with product, QA, and DevOps; participate in code reviews and follow engineering best practices. You will learn and apply domain-driven and functional programming patterns where appropriate. You will document integration workflows, partner configurations, and solution patterns.

• Azure or AWS experience (deploying, monitoring and operating cloud services using native SDKs and management consoles)
• Working knowledge of API design and documentation like Swagger.
• Some front-end development experience (JavaScript/TypeScript and a modern framework such as React/Angular).
