In this role, you will design, develop, maintain, and extend platform-independent software modules. You will work with technologies and concepts including C#, containers, and REST services, contributing to products throughout their development lifecycle.

This is a full-stack opportunity that allows you to apply your strengths across different areas of software development. Depending on your experience and interests, you may contribute to backend services, web applications, user interfaces, or the integration of software components. You will work in an agile Scrum environment and take part in test-driven development, helping the team build reliable, maintainable solutions.

Hottgenroth Software welcomes both experienced professionals and people beginning their careers. The hiring process is intended to be straightforward and personal. Applicants are encouraged to share not only their experience, but also what motivates them and why they would like to join the team.

Qualifications

You have completed, or are currently building, a relevant educational background in a STEM subject, such as a university degree or vocational qualification. You bring knowledge of object-oriented programming and are interested in applying it to real-world software products. Experience with C#, Java, or TypeScript is particularly relevant.

For this position, solid experience with ASP.NET and Angular is desirable. Knowledge of relational database management systems, especially Microsoft SQL Server, would be an advantage. Familiarity with graphical user interface design is also beneficial. You are comfortable working collaboratively in an agile team, communicate clearly, and approach technical challenges with curiosity and care.

We are looking for someone with a hands-on mindset who is willing to take ownership and follow through on tasks. You value quality, welcome feedback, and are motivated to keep learning. If you meet many of these criteria but not every item, we still encourage you to apply and explain how your background could contribute to the team.

Responsibilities

Design and implement platform-independent software modules using appropriate technologies and development practices. Maintain existing modules and deliver changes, enhancements, and new functionality in response to product and user needs. Develop and integrate REST-based services and work with containerized components as part of the software architecture.

Contribute to full-stack development across application layers, applying your skills where they can make the greatest impact. Participate in Scrum activities, collaborate with colleagues, and help plan and deliver work in iterative cycles. Apply test-driven development principles to support dependable software and make quality part of the development process.

Take responsibility for your work from initial concept through implementation and delivery, while communicating progress and coordinating effectively with the team.
