Your team & responsibilities
We’re building a new Integration team in our Tangier office to own the backend side of partner integrations — from designing and maintaining the APIs and services that power partner apps, to connecting partner systems (authentication, data flows, third-party APIs) and keeping production stable across the Cafeyn portfolio.

Your missions

• Design, build, and maintain backend services and REST APIs in .NET (C#) that support partner integrations

• Connect partner systems: authentication (OAuth2, OpenID Connect, SSO), entitlement and subscription flows, and third-party APIs

• Build and maintain integration layers that stay resilient on evolving or unstable partner APIs (retries, versioning, error handling)

• Monitor, troubleshoot, and fix production issues across the Cafeyn portfolio

• Work with databases (SQL Server or similar) and optimize queries and performance

• Follow the existing architecture and contribute to its evolution

• Take part in code reviews and team rituals, and keep technical documentation up to date

• Work closely with internal build teams, client-side developers, and partner technical teams

Who are we looking for?
You are at the right place if you:

• Have 5+ years of experience in backend development, with strong expertise in .NET / .NET Core and C#

• Have solid experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs

• Have hands-on experience with authentication and authorization protocols (OAuth2, OpenID Connect, SSO, JWT)

• Are comfortable with relational databases (SQL Server, PostgreSQL) and an ORM such as Entity Framework

• Have experience integrating third-party services and APIs, including ones that change frequently

• Can reproduce, analyze, and qualify production bugs, using logs and monitoring tools

• Can ramp up fast and work autonomously with minimal management

• Have shipped and maintained at least one backend service in production

Nice to have

• Experience with cloud platforms (Azure or AWS), Docker, and CI/CD pipelines

• Familiarity with message queues or event-driven architectures

• Some exposure to frontend or mobile, to collaborate easily with client-side teams

Hiring process

1. First interview with our TA Manager (30')

2. Hiring manager interview & case study with Peer

3. HR Interview

4. N+2 interview (final interview)
