  • You reinforce monitoring, error handling, logging, and performance tracking across backend services and end-to-end integrations, using concrete metrics such as KPIs, test coverage, and performance results.
  • You translate functional requirements into clear, structured technical designs that developers can implement consistently and efficiently.
  • You challenge existing solutions and propose future-proof technical improvements, balancing short-term delivery with long-term sustainability.
  • You actively support and coach backend developers, sharing knowledge and raising the overall technical maturity of the team and the wider division.
  • You coordinate technical work packages, contribute to effort estimations, and support the planning of changes and new functionalities.
  • You validate implementations through reviews, testing, and quality gates before delivery, ensuring solutions meet agreed standards.
  • You collaborate closely with analysts, testers, architects, and other IT divisions to ensure integrations and cross-system flows work reliably end to end.
  • You support project leaders and managers by highlighting risks, improvement opportunities, and efficiency gains related to technology, processes, and governance.

What are we looking for?

  • You have 5–8 years of experience in software development, with a strong focus on .NET backend applications.
  • You have proven experience as a Senior Developer or Tech Lead, including coaching or guiding other developers.
  • You have strong knowledge of object-oriented design, backend architectures, and API-based integrations.
  • You are comfortable working with MS SQL, backend data flows, and performance tuning.
  • You have hands-on experience with monitoring, logging, and error tracking, and you understand how to use these insights to improve system reliability.
  • You are familiar with performance testing and performance analysis for backend services and APIs.
  • You work in a structured way, can translate requirements into clear technical solutions, and are comfortable challenging designs when needed.
  • You are used to working in Agile / Scrum environments and collaborating closely with cross-functional teams.
  • You are fluent in English. You have at least a working knowledge of French or Dutch.
Nice to have
  • You have experience with Azure DevOps, Application Insights, APM tools, or centralized logging solutions.
  • You are familiar with ASP.NET Web API, Entity Framework, and .NET Core.
