About the Role
We are looking for an Associate Technical Lead to join a growing team working on a modern, cloud-based platform. This role is suited for someone who is technically strong, communicative, and able to think in terms of solutions rather than just tasks.
You will work on backend and frontend components, contribute to architectural decisions, and help evolve the platform. We’re looking for a self-starter who can take ownership and work independently within a lean team.
What You’ll Do
Build and maintain backend services using C# (.NET 7) and SQL.
Develop and evolve frontend applications using TypeScript (with frameworks such as Blazor or Vue).
Design and consume RESTful APIs and integrate frontend and backend components.
Work with Azure-based cloud services, contributing to scalable and reliable solutions.
Collaborate closely with engineers and stakeholders to translate requirements into working solutions.
Participate in live problem-solving, debugging, and performance improvements.
Adapt to changes in tooling, frameworks, and processes as the platform evolves.
What We’re Looking For
Must Have
5 years of professional experience, strong with C# / .NET and SQL.
Strong working experience with TypeScript.
Experience building and maintaining web applications end to end.
Experience working in multiple cloud environments (Azure required; AWS or exposure to another could is a plus).
Comfortable working in small, lean teams with shared ownership.
Strong communication skills, especially when explaining technical topics to non-technical colleagues.
A proactive, solution-oriented mindset.
Nice to Have
Experience with Vue.js or other modern frontend frameworks (React/Angular).
Experience with Blazor (not required; willingness to learn is sufficient).
Experience with Docker and Kubernetes.
Familiarity with microservices, micro-frontend or distributed systems.
Experience working across multiple products or domains simultaneously.
What Matters Most in This Role
Mental agility: ability to pick up new frameworks, tools, or paradigms quickly
Maturity over years: we value how you think and communicate more than how long you’ve been coding
Ownership: ability to take responsibility without needing close supervision
