  • Clean Architecture patterns and modular service design
  • Job queues, background workers, batch processors
  • Logging, monitoring, and error tracking (Sentry, Cloud Logging)


What We’re Looking For

  • Solid knowledge of Node.js with TypeScript
  • Experience with C# and .NET Core, including building APIs and service layers
  • Strong understanding of REST principles and async programming
  • Experience designing and consuming external APIs
  • Good understanding of modern architecture patterns (Clean, SOLID)
  • Familiarity with SQL and NoSQL databases
  • Git + GitHub experience
  • Strong debugging skills and high attention to detail
  • Working knowledge of cloud platforms (GCP or AWS)

  • A chance to work on projects that make a real impact for recognisable names


If you meet the basics, we’ll set up a call. A short technical assessment will follow the first chat. We value team fit as much as technical skills—so bring your passion and let’s build something great together.
