Junior 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.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build and maintain efficient, reusable and reliable code;
• Develop interfaces between components of heterogeneous subsystems running in a high-volume transaction-oriented production environment;
• Ensure the best possible performance, quality, and responsiveness of applications;
• Identify bottlenecks and bugs, and devise solutions to complex problems.

Most of our sites and services are written in C# / ASP.NET. Newer 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 Junior Software Engineer who is a team player with a can-do attitude.

Must have:

• At least 1 year of development experience using C# / ASP.NET / MVC (full framework or .NET Core);
• Basic understanding of basic web technologies, such as HTTP, etc.;
• Experience with data access (databases / APIs).

Nice to have:

•  Exposure to unit testing.
