Software Engineer

About the Role

We are looking for a Software Engineer with strong backend development experience in C# .NET Core to join our team. This role is focused on building scalable backend systems, working with relational and non-relational databases, and leveraging cloud technologies. You will be part of an agile team, contributing primarily through hands-on coding, with exposure to DevOps and CI/CD practices.

This role is also a great opportunity to learn from senior engineers and Tech Leads, contribute to team-wide initiatives, and gradually take on more ownership of features and services.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs using C# .NET Core
• Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code following best practices
• Work with relational databases and optimize queries for performance
• Utilize non-relational databases (e.g., MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis) where appropriate
• Write and maintain unit tests for backend services under the guidance of senior engineers and the Tech Lead, contributing to overall test coverage and code quality.
• Contribute to Agile development processes by participating in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives, and ensuring timely delivery of features.
• Support CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments.
• Leverage AI-assisted development tools to improve coding efficiency and learn best practices.
• Contribute to code reviews, testing, and documentation
• Partner with QA to ensure features are well-tested and delivered with high quality.
• Collaborate closely with product managers and other engineers to deliver features.
• Assist in implementing monitoring, logging, and performance tuning to ensure system reliability.
• Work with senior engineers to incorporate security and compliance best practices into backend services.

Required Skills & Experience

• 2–5 years of professional experience as a software engineer
• Strong proficiency in C# .NET Core
• Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred)
• Exposure to non-relational databases (e.g. MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis)
• Familiarity with AWS or other cloud platforms
• Understanding of basic cloud-native concepts such as scalability, resiliency, and fault tolerance.
• Understanding of CI/CD pipelines, Git, containerization
• Experience working in Agile teams and familiarity with Agile methodologies (e.g., participating in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives).
• Solid grasp of software engineering fundamentals, including data structures and algorithms
• Experience writing unit and integration tests for backend services with minimal help, with a focus on building testing discipline and contributing to overall code quality.
• Exposure to modern API design principles (e.g. REST, GraphQL, or gRPC).
• Exposure to AI-assisted coding tools with the ability to use them effectively to accelerate learning, coding efficiency, and daily productivity.
• Exposure to monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Sentry, Datadog, New Relic).
• Awareness of security best practices in API and backend development.
• Willingness to adopt and learn emerging technologies and engineering practices.

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to backend testing or performance profiling tools is a plus.
• Experience in the media & entertainment industry
• Familiarity with distributed systems, microservices, or messaging queues
• Hands-on experience with frontend integration or full-stack exposure is a plus.

Soft Skills

• Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking
• Clear communication and collaboration skills
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment
• Adaptability and eagerness to learn new technologies
• Ownership and accountability for deliverables
• Openness to feedback and commitment to continuously improve technical and collaboration skills.
