Expert/Lead C#/.NET Developer

About the Position

We are seeking an Expert/Lead C#/.NET Developer with 8+ years of experience in server-side .NET development to join our team in Krakow, Poland. This role focuses on distributed systems and platform engineering.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement backend features across Kepler's.NET/Windows services, MassTransit sagas, and infrastructure layers.
• Take technical ownership of assigned Kepler subsystems: understand their design rationale, identify improvement opportunities, and drive implementation.
• Possibly lead and mentor EU-based developers: code review, pairing, unblocking, and growing their capability over time.
• Collaborate asynchronously with the NYC-based team lead and wider client's team. Reliable written communication across a 5-6 hour time difference is essential.
• Contribute to design discussions, technical documentation, and architecture decisions as a full peer - not a ticket-taker.
• Maintain and improve observability, deployment practices, and platform reliability for the areas they own.

Requirements

• 8+ years of commercial software engineering experience, the majority in server-side .NET development in production environments.
• Hands-on experience with RabbitMQ or a comparable broker (Kafka, Azure Service Bus). Understands exchanges/queues/bindings or equivalent topology concepts - not just 'I have used a queue'.
• Demonstrable distributed systems depth: has built things that had to be reliable, had to handle message ordering and deduplication, and had consequences when they were wrong.
• Experience with saga-style or long-running workflow patterns. Has implemented stateful multi-step processing where steps arrive out of order, from multiple sources, or with long windows.
• Writes meaningful tests as part of normal development - not as an afterthought. Understands the difference between unit, integration, and contract tests and applies them appropriately.
• Comfortable deploying and running.NET services on Windows Server. Does not require a Linux/container environment to be productive.
• Has led or mentored engineers in some capacity - formal or informal. Can explain their approach to code review, feedback, and developing junior engineers.
• Reads and writes clear technical prose. Can produce a design document, a runbook entry, or a detailed pull request description without prompting.
• Asks the right questions about a new codebase rather than immediately reaching for rewrites. Respects existing design decisions until they understand them.
• Self-directed and reliable in a remote, asynchronous context. Has done this before and can point to how they managed it.

Nice to Have

• Experience with HashiCorp Nomad or a comparable orchestrator (understanding of job scheduling, placement, health checks).
• Familiarity with Consul or a comparable service discovery and KV store.
• Experience with MassTransit specifically - its publish topology, saga persistence, outbox pattern, or transport configuration.
• MongoDB experience, particularly as a document store for structured state (not necessarily as a primary database).
• Exposure to YARP or other programmatic reverse proxy / API gateway frameworks.
• Experience with Splunk or a comparable log aggregation and search platform.
• Familiarity with OpenTelemetry and distributed tracing concepts.
• Experience operating services across multiple environments with a promotion pipeline (dev → staging → production or equivalent).
• Experience with Next.js or TypeScript.
• Familiarity with Jenkins or GitHub Actions CI pipelines.
• Exposure to JFrog Artifactory or similar artifact management.
• Any financial systems context - even adjacent (payments, order management, data pipelines) - as background, not a requirement.

We Offer

• Relocation options
• Experience in an international environment
• Cross-cultural experience

• Regular appraisals
• Annual holiday - 20 or 26 days (depending on seniority)
