Senior Backend Engineer
Role Overview
We’re a software company at the start of building a brand-new, highly visible SaaS application. This is a rare opportunity to help shape the technical foundation: you’ll help set technical direction, establish engineering standards, and ship foundational capabilities that will shape the product for years. We’re looking for a motivated senior engineer who thinks and builds with an AI-first mindset —someone excited about agentic AI workflows, automation, and using modern AI tooling to accelerate delivery without compromising quality. This project will be using AI-Development Life Cycle (AI-DLC) to drive the creation, testing and deployment of this application. This is a tremendous opportunity to be fully supported in an AI first approach.
In this role, you’ll design and implement core backend systems using.NET/C# and proven architectural patterns such as Event Sourcing, CQRS, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and Vertical Slice (vertical event-sourced) architectures. You’ll work in a cloud-native environment leveraging AWS, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, and Docker, contributing to a platform built for scale, reliability, and rapid iteration. You’ll also be a technical leader—taking ownership, mentoring others, and helping define best practices for a high-performing team.
