Backend Engineer

You will join an autonomous Agile team and work closely with the Product Owner, Scrum Master, Quality Assurance Engineer and other Software Engineers to create a competitive advantage for Kaizen and offer a unique online experience to our customers.

Software engineers in Kaizen are responsible for a multitude of projects, from our customer-facing websites and mobile applications to our admin and internal tools and backend services, most of them withstanding high volume / traffic.

• Create new solutions and see them through, from conception to production;
• Turn requirements into simple and sophisticated technological systems. Our large scale, highly available infrastructure is at the core of that challenge;
• Design, build, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable code;
• Research new technologies to find new and efficient ways to solve day to day challenges;
• Ship high-value features quickly;
• Challenge the status quo and improve the team and product.

Most of our sites and services are written in C# / ASP.NET and new services are written in .NET Core. New applications use vue.js in the front-end while older ones use server-rendered (Razor) views in combination with jQuery & Knockout.js. MS SQL Server is used for most of our storage needs, but also uses Redis and ElasticSearch when it makes sense to do so. RabbitMQ is our go-to message broker. We use Gitlab for code versioning and CI, and the Atlassian stack for tickets and documentation.

We are looking for a Software Engineer who is a team player and eager to take initiatives with a can-do attitude.

• At least 2 years of experience developing production-level software using Microsoft .NET (full framework or .NET Core);
• Proficient in C# and MVC;
• Good understanding of basic web technologies, such as HTTP, REST, etc.;
• Practical understanding of algorithms and design patterns;
• Passionate about delivering high-quality code;
• Fluent in English, both oral and written.

• Expertise in concurrency, multi-threading, and event-driven architecture;
• Exposure to distributed applications that are secure, can scale and are highly available.
