Description
We’re hiring a Backend Engineer to design and build secure, scalable backend services on Microsoft Azure, with a solid emphasis on data modeling, API development, and serverless compute using Azure Functions. You’ll work closely with product and front-end partners to deliver reliable APIs, integrate with Microsoft SQL Server on Microsoft Fabric, and implement robust authentication/authorization and API usage metering/billing. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building well-structured systems, taking ownership of backend reliability, and applying solid security and engineering practices.

The role is outcome-focused: you’ll be expected to contribute to design discussions and implement robust backend services—while staying open to the best technical approach rather than following a single prescribed pattern.
