About this role 

This is an exciting opportunity to join the JET Honey Badgers team, a dynamic and focused stream-aligned team.

This role offers a significant platform to leverage your strong .NET engineering skills, collaborate closely with various teams across the business, and take a leading role in the backend development and delivery of key technical initiatives. You'll have the opportunity to drive the technical implementation of new features, lead backend delivery efforts, and work closely with cross-functional teams to translate business needs into robust and scalable solutions.

• Contribute to the definition of product features, getting involved in workshops with your team, other engineering teams and Product Managers.

• Practical experience with AWS (or a comparable cloud platform such as Azure or GCP), including basic cloud architecture patterns and exposure to Kubernetes.
• A strong software-engineering foundation - data structures, design patterns, OO design, code optimisation - applied to microservices and event-driven distributed systems, with a solid understanding of HTTP and RESTful design.
• Working knowledge of NoSQL databases such as DynamoDB or CosmosDB.
• Solid foundation in software engineering principles and best practices, including data structures, design patterns, microservices, event-driven architectures, object-oriented design, and code optimization.
