Remote Backend Jobs

This is a remote position. We expect strong self-management, self-motivation, and communication skills to thrive in our distributed team environment.

This is an entry-level position, though we are looking for someone with some exposure to C# and programming. You will write new code in the functional paradigm, primarily in functional C#. We like types, code generation, DSLs, and generally letting the compiler do the work. You should have a good understanding of the language features of C# and care about the choices you make.

We expect you to become proficient in our tools and processes, making good, productive use of the appropriate and understanding how to interpret output from the build system.

We value team members who seize upon opportunities to learn and accept feedback graciously from teammates.

The focus of this role includes

• Developing knowledge of a single area of the codebase
• Taking small features from an initial design to completion with guidance
• Writing clean, readable code according to our style guidelines
• Producing well-structured merge requests with the requisite documentation
• Writing any necessary unit tests
• Communicating effectively about the status of your work to the broader team
• Raising any blockers promptly

You will have the opportunity to work in two areas of development

Automated Testing responsibilities include

• Writing and maintaining a browser automation framework (written in functional C#) utilizing Selenium to allow new versions of our system to be tested via the UI
• Automated testing of APIs and system integrations (we integrate with a number of third-party systems)
• Working with our Platform Engineering team to create test environments and test data to support comprehensive, realistic test scenarios
• Reading and understanding existing system code and proposing changes to aid future tests
• Investigating and implementing load testing systems to ensure our software can meet the demands of our ever-growing user base

Product Development

• Alongside an experienced team of senior developers, you’ll gain exposure to the full stack, from back-end microservices to front-end web development.
• The team is relatively small compared to the breadth of the product and size of our customer base, so you will have to take responsibility for your own work. We are growing faster than ever but working hard to preserve the small team feel.
• The code has been built and maintained over 15 years, which inevitably means refactoring and incremental improvements are part of the job. Development work at Meddbase can be very varied, ranging from relatively predictable enhancements to existing features all the way to cutting-edge R&D projects.
