Senior .NET Backend Engineer
Lovys
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)
- 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
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)
- Experience with Azure Cloud Services and Azure DevOps
- Experience with Git flow
- Exposure to data platforms or fraud prevention solutions
- 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
