About the role;

As one of our Software Engineers, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining APIs, services, components, and libraries that form the backbone of our analytics software solutions.

• Build and maintain CI/CD automation pipelines as well as automated integration and unit test suites, ensuring high-quality, production-ready code.
• Debug, troubleshoot, and resolve API-related issues in development and production environments.
• Document API architecture, endpoints, and usage guidelines to support internal and external stakeholders.
• Participate in code reviews to maintain code quality and ensure adherence to established standards whilst also mentoring less experienced colleagues.

Qualifications and Experience:

• Proven experience in API development using .NET Core or similar frameworks.
• Familiarity with cross-platform development frameworks, particularly MAUI.
• Good understanding of API design principles and protocols, including RESTful APIs and gRPC.
• Experience with database integration using relational databases (e.g., SQL Server, PostgreSQL) or NoSQL databases.
• Proficient in implementing API security measures such as OAuth2, JWT, and role-based access control.
• Familiarity with API documentation tools like Swagger/OpenAPI.
• Understanding of version control systems (e.g., Git) and CI/CD pipelines.
