About eiGroup
At eiGroup, we believe ideas can change industries - but only if they are nurtured with structure, science, and courage.
We're an R&D and Innovation Venture Studio that transforms human ingenuity into technological value that scales.
Our ecosystem brings together researchers, engineers, and creators who turn complex challenges into scalable products - from subsurface imaging to AI-driven analytics, from remote sensing to digital transformation.
Our ventures are built in-house, born from research, and grown into independent companies.
Together, we're shaping how innovation takes root in this region - and how it reaches the world.

What You'll Do

• Own the backend: design, build and maintain scalable services and RESTful APIs in C# and ASP.NET Core
• Contribute to modern React (TypeScript) / NextJs applications by implementing and maintaining frontend features
• Design the data model and build against a relational database (SQL Server) — schema design, ORM, migrations, query optimization and performance tuning
• Implement authentication, authorization and role-based access control using Microsoft Entra ID, JWT and OAuth2, including row-level data restrictions and planning the configuration on Azure App registration level
• Build real-time and collaborative features using SignalR hubs
• Participate in CI/CD, containerization and deployment together with DevOps
• Break complex work into deliverable increments, estimate it credibly, and flag risk early
• Partner with the Project Manager and domain experts to shape and clarify requirements: surface the edge cases, challenge scope, and propose the cheaper version when there is one

What You Bring

• 1.5+ years of professional full-stack experience with a strong backend focus
• Good written and verbal communication in English, including with non-technical domain experts
• Strong professional experience with C# and ASP.NET Core
• Understanding of backend architecture — dependency injection, middleware, asynchronous programming, and the trade-offs between them
• Proven experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs that other teams consume
• Strong experience with relational databases: database design, ORM (e.g. EF Core), query optimisation and performance tuning
• Experience with Microsoft Azure — compute, messaging, secrets management and managed identities
• Experience with SignalR, message brokers, or comparable messaging and real-time technologies
• Experience implementing authentication and authorization with JWT, OAuth2 and Microsoft Entra ID
• Working knowledge of React and TypeScript, and experience integrating frontends with backend APIs
• Experience with Git, CI/CD workflows, and shipping to production regularly
• Track record of owning a system end to end — design, build, deploy, operate — not only delivering assigned tickets
• Ability to make and defend architectural decisions with incomplete information, and to write them down
• Comfortable working in an existing codebase — reading unfamiliar code, deciding what to keep, and refactoring the rest safely
• Sound instincts on application security — you recognise an authorization gap or an unsafe default in review
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment — break down and estimate complex work, prioritise effectively, and raise risks early

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience building agentic AI features, or back-end work involving AI integration — LLM APIs, RAG pipelines, vector search, or similar.
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes

Our benefits include:

• Medical insurance
