Senior Backend Engineer
You will join an autonomous Agile team and work closely with the Product Owner, Agile Delivery Lead, Automation Testers, and other Software Engineers to create a competitive advantage for Kaizen and offer a unique online experience to our customers. Besides being part of the Agile team, you will work closely with talented backend professionals within the Backend Chapter. Senior 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. Most of our sites and services are written in in C# / ASP.NET and new services are written in .NET Core. New applications use vue.js or Angular in the front-end while older ones use server-rendered (Razor) views in combination with jQuery. Microsoft Orleans enables our scalable and robust distributed applications. MS SQL Server is used for most of our storage needs, but also Redis and ElasticSearch are used 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.
