Description

We’re looking for a motivated Junior Developer to help us build reliable, modern software solutions as part of our growing engineering team.

Do you enjoy learning new technologies, writing clean code, and improving a little every day? Are you excited about turning ideas into working features? We're looking for someone who can collaborate closely with teammates, follow established development practices, and help build solid, maintainable applications.

This is a hands-on development role where you’ll focus on implementing well-defined features, learning best practices, and growing your technical foundation. You’ll work within an established architecture, supported by experienced engineers who will guide you through design decisions, patterns, and development processes.

You’ll contribute across the stack—building APIs, developing UI components, working with databases, and delivering features that teams and customers rely on.

What Will You Be Doing?

Application Development

You will:

  • Develop features using .NET (C#) and ASP.NET Core
  • Build and extend REST APIs
  • Create UI components using Angular or React
  • Integrate frontend applications with backend services
  • Apply foundational understanding of:
    • HTTP protocol
    • Request/response lifecycle
    • Status codes
    • Basic API design principles

Your focus will be on implementing features in accordance with clear technical guidelines.

Code Quality & Design Principles

You should demonstrate:

  • Understanding of SOLID principles
  • Familiarity with Clean Code practices
  • Knowledge of common GoF design patterns
  • Understanding of layered architecture (Controller → Service → Repository)

You’ll apply these concepts under the guidance of senior engineers.

Microservices & Cloud Awareness

You will need a conceptual understanding of:

  • What microservices are
  • Basic cloud concepts (Azure / AWS)
  • Cloud storage (Blob / S3)
  • Environment separation (Dev, QA, Prod)

Your role is to work within the existing architecture—not define it.

Data & Persistence

You will:

  • Work with relational databases (MS SQL, PostgreSQL)
  • Understand relationships and normalization basics
  • Use Entity Framework for CRUD operations
  • Understand basic indexing concepts
  • Be aware of NoSQL systems (Cosmos DB conceptually)

You’ll extend existing models rather than design full database strategies.

Security & API Fundamentals

You should understand:

  • Authentication vs. authorization
  • JWT basics
  • Role-based access control
  • Basic REST security practices

You’ll implement defined security flows and patterns.

Tools & Development Process

You are expected to:

  • Use Git effectively (branching, merging, pull requests)
  • Follow the team’s branching strategy
  • Use debugging tools
  • Implement logging and error handling
  • Participate fully in Scrum ceremonies
  • Deliver tasks within sprint commitments

Who You Are (Non-Technical Skills)

Ownership (Task-Level)

  • Take responsibility for assigned work
  • Communicate blockers early
  • Deliver within the agreed scope

Learning Mindset

  • Eager to learn and grow
  • Accept and apply feedback
  • Show initiative with new tools and technologies

Communication

  • Communicate clearly within the team
  • Collaborate respectfully
  • Participate actively in team processes
