Team C# Software Engineer

We’re looking for a senior software engineer who wants to lead a team while staying hands-on with C# and .NET.

You’ll lead a team of 9 engineers working on services that are part of the ESET XDR platform. The team owns the full software lifecycle, from architecture and development through CI/CD and monitoring to 3rd-level production support.

As Team Lead, you’ll be responsible for the people in the team, including regular 1:1s, feedback, performance reviews, goals, career development and compensation.

Around 30% of your time will be focused on team leadership. The rest will be hands-on software engineering. You’ll continue to design, implement and review software, help solve complex technical problems and keep an eye on the architectural direction of the services owned by the team.

The team works mainly with C# and .NET 10 and builds backend microservices, APIs, integrations and supporting infrastructure for the ESET XDR platform.

You’ll work closely with other senior engineers, architects, Product Owners, Security and engineering teams across ESET. You’ll have room to influence technical decisions while working in a team with several experienced engineers.

This is a good fit if you enjoy both sides of the role: leading people and still being an active software engineer.
