Job DescriptionReady to shape the backbone of product information at a global scale?
We’re hiring a Tech Lead who’s obsessed with elegant API design, rock‑solid reliability, and empowering engineers to ship quickly and safely.
At Electrolux, our Product Information Management (PIM) platform is the single source of truth for product data: powering e‑commerce sites, retailer feeds, marketplaces, service portals, and internal apps across the world. Think clean contracts, versioned APIs, airtight security, and dependable distribution to every downstream consumer. ~20% of your time, you’ll also help extend our DAM ecosystem with plugins, integrations, and add-ons.
Your mission
Lead the design, development, and operation of high‑quality .NET APIs and backend services for PIM. You’ll define standards and patterns (API‑first, versioning, idempotency), set and track SLOs (latency, throughput, error budgets), harden security, and build the observability and automation that keep our services easy to evolve. You’ll partner with Product and Platform/Infra to deliver resilient integrations at scale and with confidence.
Who you are
A pragmatic .NET leader with a track record of raising engineering standards and shipping reliable services. You’ve guided teams through REST API design, clean architecture, and performance profiling; you’re fluent in Azure deployments and infrastructure; you’re strong with SQL Server/T‑SQL (and have exposure to SSIS/data flows); and you mentor engineers while staying hands‑on when it matters. You collaborate across Product, QA, Security, and Platform to turn requirements into well‑documented, measurable outcomes.
Requirements:
12+ years of professional experience building and operating backend/data applications (or equivalent practical experience).
Degree in Computer Science/Engineering or related field (preferred).
Demonstrated technical leadership: mentoring, driving standards, leading design discussions, and raising quality through reviews and guardrails.
Produce implementation analyses and delivery plans: break down product requirements into technical options, estimates, dependencies, risks, and phased delivery plans; write clear technical briefs (incl. acceptance criteria) to enable developers to execute efficiently.
Proven ability to own the software lifecycle end‑to‑end: requirements, implementation, versioning, documentation, and deprecation strategy.
Deep expertise in .NET Core / ASP.NET Core (C#, middleware, configuration) and experience designing, building, and operating backend services and worker/background processes with a strong grasp of scalability and maintainability practices.
Solid experience integrating with SQL Server / Azure SQL, designing efficient queries and transactions, and experience in building SSIS jobs or data processing workflows.
Extensive experience with Cloud Computing (Azure preferred) for deploying and operating APIs/services.
Ability to coordinate with Platform/Cloud teams on deployments, reliability, and operational readiness.
Strong approach to reliability: input validation, rate limiting, secrets management, and incident prevention patterns.
Strong testing mindset with unit and integration testing; contract testing preferred.
Ability to champion automated quality gates and best practices in CI/CD (Azure DevOps pipelines, artifact/version management).
Proven experience building observability into services (logs/metrics/traces), and defining/operating against SLOs.
Comfort supporting production operations, driving post‑incident reviews, and continuous improvement via performance profiling and automation.
Strong Agile delivery experience (Scrum/Kanban) and collaboration with Product/Design/QA.
Excellent documentation habits: Confluence documentation, ADRs, runbooks, and clear technical communication.
Strong Git collaboration workflows: PRs, code reviews, and mentoring through feedback.
Desirable
CLR integration for specialized SQL Server workloads.
NoSQL experience (e.g., Cosmos DB, MongoDB, and Redis) and Graph databases.
APIM knowledge and development (policies, products, subscriptions, rate limiting, tracing).
Applied AI integration: Hands-on experience adding AI features to .NET apps using Azure AI Foundry (prompt flows, model deployments) and LLMs/Azure OpenAI (RAG, function calling) plus Azure Cognitive Services for translation/localization.
Experience with PIM/DAM domains, workflows, and content modeling.
Soft Skills
Technical leadership & mentorship, excellent communication with tech/non‑tech stakeholders, pragmatic decision‑making, ownership and accountability, documentation & clarity, collaboration, and continuous improvement mindset.
