Your key tasks include:

• Developing scalable backend architectures for our digital products
• Implementing API integrations and server-side logic
• Integrate seamlessly with CMS platforms (including Sitecore) and Azure services
• Contributing to architecture choices and the technical roadmap
• Writing unit and functional tests
• Safeguarding quality and performance

• Have at least 7 years of experience as a backend developer
• Hold a bachelor’s degree or higher
• Are curious, eager to learn, and keep your knowledge current
• Enjoy working as part of a team but can also take responsibility independently
