• Software Development
• Design, build, and deliver medium-sized features and projects across our C#, .NET Core, and Angular 18 stack
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code in line with YouLend’s engineering principles and coding standards.
• Take ownership of features or small problem spaces, including breaking down requirements and scoping solutions.
• Deliver features that directly improve our platform experience for customers and partners.
• Collaboration
• Work closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to deliver impactful solutions.
• Provide constructive feedback in code reviews and accept feedback with openness.
• Document features, proposals, and runbooks to ensure clarity and scalability

• Deploy and monitor applications in a cloud-native environment (AWS)
• Contribute to building and improving CI/CD pipelines.
• Ensure systems are reliable, scalable, and performant in production.
• Quality & Agile Practices
• Take ownership for the quality and reliability of your work (write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests; validate changes rigorously)
• Debug and resolve issues in production; respond to incidents and contribute to post-mortems.
• Use observability, logging, and metrics to monitor application health and take proactive actions.
• Champion quality from day one: testing, monitoring, and observability are part of how you work, not afterthoughts.
• Engage in Agile practices (planning, retrospectives, standups) and help the team continuously improve.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to make systems and processes better.
• What We’re Looking For
• 2–5 years of professional software engineering experience.
• Passion for building scalable, reliable systems and solving complex technical challenges that make a real difference for our customers and partners.
• A collaborative mindset with eagerness to learn and grow
• Essential Skills
• Proficiency in object-oriented programming and system design.
• Proficiency in .NET (C#) and good exposure to Angular
• Good hands-on experience of software testing concepts.
• Good knowledge of AWS services and microservices principles.
• Familiarity with cloud-native technologies, CI/CD pipelines, and modern devops practices.
• Understanding of non-functional requirements: performance, security, availability, maintainability.
• Experience working with relational or NoSQL databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MongoDB).
• Soft Skills
• A growth mindset — you’re curious, proactive, and eager to learn and improve continuously.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to design and implement solutions that balance complexity and simplicity.
• Feedback orientated: you give and receive feedback graciously, and use it to improve.
• Ownership & accountability: you deliver on commitments, surface risks, and take responsibility.
• Team player: you help others, learn from others, and contribute to healthy culture.
• Adaptability: you can operate in evolving environments and pivot when priorities change.
• Great communication skills — you’re comfortable explaining your work, collaborating with others, and working across disciplines.
• Desirable Skills
• Experience with containerization
• Experience with messaging/event-driven architectures (Kafka, RabbitMQ, Akka etc.)
• Familiarity with observability tools (Datadog etc)
• Exposure to domain-driven design or complex domain modelling patterns.
• Experience in fintech, payments, or regulated environments.
