Key Responsibilities

• Assist in tackling architectural and coding challenges within your product team. Your remit: support migration, refactoring, and modernization of our Azure cloud environments. Transformation - NOT superficial patching.
• Design, build, test, and deploy robust, maintainable, readable code and APIs, maximizing automation and reliability.
• Analyse requirements sceptically, challenge weak assumptions, and assist in architecting systems aligned with future business needs. Document clearly - leave no process ambiguous.
• Assist in driving best practices and standards - if something’s broken, outdated, or inefficient, call it out and help fix it.
• Actively shape our engineering culture: give direct feedback, adopt new ideas quickly, and question the status quo.
• Participate fully in agile processes, but bring tough-minded scrutiny to deadlines, priorities, and work scope.
• Mentor team members and assist in setting a visible standard for quality and architectural thinking.

Requirements / Qualifications

• 6+ years hands-on in C#/.NET, including direct contribution to architectural decisions - not just code writing, but supporting redesign and migration.
• Strategic, outcome-driven experience in cloud platforms - Azure preferred, but open to reasoned argument for alternatives; know where the hype stops and real business value begins.
• Proficiency designing RESTful APIs people actually want to use.
• Experience in microservices, distributed architectures, and event-driven integration (bonus for actual deployment at scale).
• Practical exposure to messaging, e.g., RabbitMQ, Kafka - in production, not just academic.
• Basic experience in frontend JS frameworks - enough to communicate with frontend teams or prototype, not necessarily to ship production UIs.
• The ability and willingness to challenge company and engineering assumptions, prioritize ruthlessly, and defend your technical choices.
• Strong written and spoken English - clarity beats verbosity.
• Please note: you’d need EU citizenship or a valid work permit for Germany/Estonia.

Preferred Qualifications

• FinTech/banking experience is a plus, but ability to learn fast and question existing norms is essential.
