Full Stack C# Software Engineer
Summary
Full-stack engineer at a South African lender building its new in-house loan origination and risk assessment platform. Day to day you write C#/.NET back ends and Vue 3/TypeScript front ends on AWS, provision with Terraform and Kubernetes CI/CD, and own features from design through on-call production support.
About this role:
Our client is replacing an outsourced loan origination and risk assessment platform with something they have built themselves fully in-house, purpose-built, and integrated across their credit domain.
