Job Description

Togetherhood is looking for a senior backend engineer who thrives in a dynamic, collaborative environment where you have real ownership, influence over architecture, and the freedom to shape how things are built.

This role focuses on building and modernizing backend services in C# and the .NET ecosystem. You'll work closely with product and front-end engineers to develop internal APIs that power our React applications. If you're someone who enjoys solving messy problems, cares about clean, maintainable code, and wants to make a tangible impact, we want to meet you.

We also embrace AI as part of our everyday toolkit. Familiarity with tools like Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot isn't just a bonus — it's how we work.

Key Responsibilities

Backend System Design & Development

  • Lead the design and development of scalable backend applications in C#/.NET.
  • Apply best practices in architecture and object-oriented design.

Platform Modernization

  • Upgrade our existing application from .NET 6 to .NET 9.
  • Refactor legacy code to implement domain models, introduce robust validation, and reduce technical debt.

Internal API Design & Documentation

  • Architect and maintain internal RESTful APIs used by our React frontend.
  • Write clear, developer-friendly API documentation using Swagger/OpenAPI.

Performance & Observability

  • Profile and tune applications for speed, stability, and scalability across application and database.
  • Instrument services with Datadog and build dashboards and alerts.

Team Collaboration & Mentorship

  • Collaborate closely with front-end engineers, QA, and product managers in a tight feedback loop.
  • Participate in agile ceremonies and planning sessions.
  • Contribute to building the engineering culture of a small, early stage engineering team.

DevOps & Tooling

  • Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Docker.
  • Work within our AWS infrastructure (Elastic Beanstalk, RDS, etc.) to support automation and scaling.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience building backend applications with C# and the .NET ecosystem.
  • Demonstrated expertise designing and documenting RESTful APIs for internal use.
  • Skilled in MySQL optimization (Amazon RDS) and efficient SQL querying.
  • Familiar with Docker, GitHub Actions, and CI/CD best practices.
  • Experienced in deploying and running .NET apps on AWS.
  • Regular user of AI development tools like Claude, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot.
  • Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Work day overlaps with the Eastern Coast Timezone.

Preferred/Bonus Skills

  • Experience building modern UIs with React + Vite.
  • Knowledge of Retool for rapid internal tool development.
  • Familiarity with TDD and automated testing frameworks.
  • Experience refactoring legacy .NET apps and applying domain-driven design.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and benefits (Health, Vision, Dental) and equity based compensation.
  • Remote-first, flexible work culture supporting NYC based operations team.
  • A close-knit, collaborative environment where your work truly matters.
