Position: Senior .NET Software Engineer (Product company)

Product is a customizable digital newspaper and magazine services solution for businesses without continuous access to the internet.

Platform is a blend of modern microservices running on top of Microsoft Azure (AKS) or on-prem Kubernetes cluster, and classic monolith web app running on top of IIS server farm. Services are exposed externally via an API gateway. The team uses both SQL and NoSQL for the data (MS SQL, Postgres, Cassandra, Cosmos DB), and Kafka for event-driven communication between services.
Product Platform team is responsible for the set of core components, infrastructure, services, and APIs to support web and native Apps. Examples of the services owned by the team: Payments, Catalog, Search.

The team is dealing with the heavy load on the daily basis, with 10+ million monthly active users. The team has been using Kubernetes since 2018 and has learned a lot over the years of running and scaling the system. The team is a central piece of the whole Engineering group and has the expertise necessary to take on the most difficult tasks and projects. Part of the challenge comes from the variety of the requests and ideas the team is receiving from the business, and the internal commitment to reduce the amount of technical debt. One of the examples is the goal to completely retire the legacy monolithic app and fully transition to the microservices architecture.
