About The Job
We're looking for a hands-on, ambitious .NET developer to help scaling our platform — and grow into a technical leadership role as our team scales.
At Lovys, we’re not just coding APIs. We’re reshaping insurance across Europe with smarter systems, data-driven services, and bold ideas. If you're someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys thinking beyond the obvious, and wants to have a real impact, this role is for you.

Your mission
* Design, build, and maintain scalable backend systems using .NET and Azure
* Collaborate with business and product teams to solve complex technical challenges
* Develop APIs, Calculation & Rules Engines, Monitoring and Auth frameworks, and internal tools
* Take ownership of end-to-end solutions — from design to deployment
* Identify smarter, cleaner ways to build and evolve our platforms
* Participate in architectural decisions, propose innovative solutions, and help us scale wisely
