About The Job

We're looking for a hands-on, ambitious .NET developer to help scaling our platform — and grow into a technical leadership role as our team scales.

At Lovys, we’re not just coding APIs. We’re reshaping insurance across Europe with smarter systems, data-driven services, and bold ideas. If you're someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys thinking beyond the obvious, and wants to have a real impact, this role is for you.

  • This position is open to candidates based in Portugal only
  • Remote-friendly, with occasional presence in Porto, Leiria, or Lisbon (flexible frequency, to be agreed)

Your mission

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable backend systems using .NET and Azure
  • Collaborate with business and product teams to solve complex technical challenges
  • Develop APIs, Calculation & Rules Engines, Monitoring and Auth frameworks, and internal tools
  • Take ownership of end-to-end solutions — from design to deployment
  • Identify smarter, cleaner ways to build and evolve our platforms
  • Participate in architectural decisions, propose innovative solutions, and help us scale wisely

About You

You're a strong senior profile who’s hands-on, analytical, and curious, but you're also someone who enjoys building, mentoring, and eventually leading.

You Ideally Bring

  • 6+ years of experience with backend development (.NET Core / .NET 8)
  • Strong understanding of API concepts and implementations (i.e. RESTful WebAPI over Json)
  • Experience in managing and developing REST WebAPIs with .NET and Entity Framework (.NET Core / .NET 8 is a plus)
  • Experience in Unit Testing (NUnit / XUnit + Mock / NSubstitute)
  • Experience in the implementation of Observability/Monitoring frameworks/Practices
  • Hands-on experience with SQL Server
  • Proficient understanding of code versioning tools, such as Git
  • Passionate about clean and well-documented code
  • Strong understanding about Agile software development methodology
  • Solid grasp of software architecture, clean code, and design patterns (e.g., DDD/EDD, DI, Factory, Singleton)
  • Fluency in English (you’ll work with an international team)

Bonus points:

  • Experience with Azure Cloud Services and Azure DevOps
  • Experience with Git flow
  • Exposure to data platforms or fraud prevention solutions

Why us?

  • Join a mission to reinvent insurance in Europe
  • Full ownership and real influence over what you build
  • A clear path to technical leadership in a fast-growing team
  • Remote-friendly culture with flexible collaboration hubs in Portugal
  • A passionate team, bold roadmap, and transparent leadership

About Us

You don't like insurance?

That's good, neither do we. That's why we created Lovys.

Lovys is the first all-in-one 100% digital insurance.

In concrete terms: we offer a monthly insurance subscription as an alternative to old contracts. The difference? In addition to a 100% digital experience, the customer can change or cancel her/his subscription at any time, but also customize it according to his needs. Lovys is a technology company for insurance, founded in 2017 in the heart of Paris, France. We are a team of 8 nationalities, working from 3 different countries (France, Portugal and Spain). We are already one of the biggest insurtechs in France and Europe and are growing very fast - so join this exciting journey! We have raised +25M€ over time and we are committed to create something different in a very traditional industry.

Our Values

  • We before me || We do not want to be individually right, we want to be collectively successful.
  • Empowerment over criticism || We treat others for who they could become, rather than for who they are.
  • Learning then obsessing || We scratch, then we drill. We listen, then we execute. We are good, then we are excellent.
