Back-End Engineer

Your team & impact

The DevEx team's customers are TransferGo's own engineers. We don't build product features directly — we improve the existing codebase, engineering tooling, and workflows to raise the productivity of every other engineering team, and we help enable AI adoption across engineering.

 

Here’s what you’ll be doing as Back-End Engineer:

• Develop and improve the existing monolith and microservice ecosystem.
• Improve code quality, performance, and maintainability of the codebase other engineering teams build on.
• Build and improve internal developer tooling and workflows.
• Resolve cross-team technical issues that block other engineers.
• Drive AI adoption — optimising engineering processes with AI tooling.
• Progressively pick up .NET as part of the stack evolution.

 

You’ll report to our Director of Engineering.

Here’s what we’d love from our new Back-End Engineer:

We don’t expect you to meet every single requirement listed. What matters most is your motivation, mindset, and ability to learn. If you’re excited about this role and think you could be a great fit, we’d really like to hear from you.

• Efficient with AI (Claude Code / Cursor) 
• Large scale production experience either PHP or .NET stack
• Working with databases SQL/MySQL 
• Dockerized environments Docker 
• CICD flows GHA/Jenkins
• Service mindset — the "end customer" is a fellow engineer
• Strong ownership beyond their own lane 
• Over-communicator comfortable working across many teams
• Adaptable and eager to learn new stacks.

And if you can also do this stuff, even better: 

• TypeScript/web exposure 
• Mobile app development exposure
• Cloud based environments AWS
• Kubernetes
• CloudFormation/Terraform
• DataDog
