About the role

We're looking for a mid-level Full Stack Developer to join our engineering team, building and maintaining product features across a .NET backend and React frontend. You'll work on real production systems end-to-end - from API design through to the UI users interact with - collaborating closely with product, design, and other engineers.

This role suits someone who's comfortable owning a feature from database to browser, enjoys working across the stack rather than specializing narrowly, and is looking to grow into more senior technical ownership.

What you'll do:

• Design, build, and maintain RESTful APIs and backend services using .NET / C#
• Build responsive, accessible user interfaces using React
• Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code across both layers of the stack
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to team engineering standards
• Collaborate with product and design to translate requirements into working software
• Debug and resolve issues across the full stack, from database queries to UI rendering
• Contribute to technical design discussions and help evaluate tradeoffs
• Write and maintain automated tests (unit, integration) to support confident, frequent releases

What you'll bring

• 2-4 years of professional software development experience
• Solid experience building backend services with .NET / C# (ASP.NET Core preferred)
• Solid experience building frontend applications with React (hooks, component architecture, state management)
• Working knowledge of relational databases and writing efficient SQL queries
• Comfortable consuming and designing RESTful APIs
• Familiarity with Git and collaborative development workflows (PRs, code review)
• Understanding of software testing practices (unit testing, integration testing)
• Strong communication skills and comfort working in a collaborative, cross-functional team
• A pragmatic, ownership-driven approach to solving problems
