As a Senior Backend Developer at Vision Healthcare, youâll join a focused team of four backend engineers. Your role goes far beyond writing codeâyouâll shape the system architecture, anticipate scaling challenges, and help define the future of our backend platform.
We value technical expertise and fresh ideas, giving you both the freedom and the time to experiment with new frameworks, tools, and approaches that can make a real impact.
Your job in a nutshell:
Our backend team builds, maintains, and continuously improves
Microservices backend
âthe core system that powers orders, invoices, customers, payments, subscriptions, and more. Coltan consists of microservices written in
.NET 8
, running on
Azure
, and deployed through
Azure DevOps pipelines
.
For service-to-service communication we use
NServiceBus
and
RabbitMQ
; data is stored in
SQL Server
and
ElasticSearch
. Youâll also work with
Adyen
for payments,
Commerce Tools
and various
Azure components
like Service Bus, Key Vault, etc.
Your responsibilities:
Write clean, high-quality, and maintainable code
Collaborate with the team to design solutions and solve problems
Contribute to architecture and system design
Ensure software quality through testing and reviews
What youâll be working on:
Much of our backend is custom-built, but weâre actively moving functionality to SaaS solutions where it makes sense. For example, weâre migrating customer data from an event-sourced microservice into
CommerceTools
, a platform that manages customers, carts, products, discounts, and orders.
This migration involves moving millions of records, writing temporary support software, building new microservices, and solving plenty of technical challenges along the way. Projects like these give you the opportunity to make an impact while tackling real-world scaling and integration challenges.
Why itâs great to be a Backend Engineer at Vision Healthcare:
We keep our backend team small and efficient, so decisions are fast and improvements happen continuously. Youâll spend your time designing and buildingânot sitting in endless meetings.
Our minimal meeting culture and focus on shipping features means youâll actually see your work in production and contribute directly to the evolution of our platform.

You enjoy working across the full development cycleâdesigning, building, and deploying features end to end.

microservices, .NET 8, SQL and Azure
