Backend Engineer

Are you passionate about software craftsmanship and love working with a team of like-minded techies? Do you enjoy working with highly scalable services and applications in the cloud? Do you prefer to work remotely following a schedule that fits your lifestyle? Then come join us in our quest to make translations easier for everyone!

The role you’ll play

As our Backend Engineer, you will have the chance to help modernize our core application and develop valuable features for our translators, customers, and internal experts. You will collaborate with several experienced engineering teams and contribute to bring new products and services to life using a cloud-native tech stack.

The team you’ll be a part of

You will join the first team in the Core Platform tribe (one of 6 tech tribes in Languagewire). You will be part of a team of 5 people who works closely with the other teams in the tribe in a distributed and international setup.

The Core Platform team develops and maintains the customer and translator portal, the translation workflow orchestration engine, an internal API and much more. Our team handles both the Frontend (Razor templates + JavaScript and Typescript) and several backend services (.NET Core + Kubernetes/VMSS in Azure).

We strongly believe that the best way to create great products is to give the team ownership of the development lifecycle. All teams are cross-functional, work with the “you build it, you run it” paradigm and are responsible for running the services that they develop in production.

You’ll report to your Team Lead, and you’ll work closely with our Director of Core Platform as well as the other Team Leads within the Tribe.

If you want to make a difference, make it with us by…

• Building scalable cloud solutions with a focus on backend
• Working closely with our Product specialists to ensure our solutions work seamlessly and add tons of value to our users.
• Writing and reviewing highly readable, clean, maintainable code
• Having high quality standards when delivering features and covering them with automated tests
