The challenge
You will join a team where you will have a key role as a technical reference. You will work on a legacy platform with real value for the business, but with technological debt, operational fragility and several opportunities for improvement.

At the same time, we hope you will help prepare its future evolution towards a modern stack, ideally based on .NET. We are looking for someone comfortable tidying up imperfect environments and raising the technical standard of the team.
