Senior backend engineer building AWS microservices with .NET and infrastructure automation.
SpainWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Backend Engineer with 17 years in backend development, most recently building microservices on AWS with C# and .NET Core while working remotely with English-speaking teams in Germany.
My day-to-day focuses on services and production support, with infrastructure as code (AWS CDK), CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and fast, reliable releases across multiple environments. I’ve owned cloud-native backends using AWS Lambda and Fargate/ECS patterns, async messaging with SQS/SNS, and data storage with DynamoDB and SQL.
I care about engineering quality and operational clarity: I drive automated deployments, quality gates (including SonarQube), and test enforcement, and I use Datadog dashboards and alerting to reduce noise and improve incident response. I’ve also helped resolve long-standing production issues by identifying silent failures across services and correcting infrastructure drift without downtime.
