Job Description

Change is constant. Impact is not. 🐬

At BlueDolphin, we believe organizations deserve more than plans that collect dust — they deserve real progress. We are the first AI-powered business transformation platform, bringing strategy, architecture, and execution into one connected workspace, so teams can see clearly, decide together, and act with confidence.

Trusted by 44,000+ users across the globe, we help organizations turn complexity into clarity. Whether you're managing an application portfolio, designing solutions, or navigating a major transformation, BlueDolphin gives you the control to change on your terms.

To support our continued growth, we're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer based in Utrecht.

The opportunity in short

You'll be a core contributor to the microservices backend of a fast-growing international SaaS — built on C# and .NET on Azure Service Fabric and MongoDB. You'll own meaningful parts of our system, drive architectural decisions, and ship code that matters. And you'll do it with AI as a standard part of how you work — not as a gimmick, but as a genuine force multiplier.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services — researching new technologies and continuously raising the quality bar

• Use AI tooling (GitHub Copilot and beyond) as a default, not an afterthought — you know when to lean on it, when to push it further, and how to get the most out of it in a real engineering context

• Actively identify where AI can compress feedback loops, accelerate development, improve test coverage, or reduce toil — and then do it

• Support customers facing complex technical issues in their environments

• Drive our approach to test-driven development, WebSockets, and efficient data processing pipelines

• Collaborate closely with UX designers, QA engineers, and fellow developers in a Scrum team

• Participate in regular peer sessions to maintain and elevate our coding standards

Requirements

A strong candidate will check most of these boxes:

• ~7 years of backend development experience, primarily in C#

• Deep understanding of microservices architecture and how to build modular systems that scale

• Treats AI-assisted development as the baseline — GitHub Copilot or equivalent is already part of your workflow, and you're always looking for the next layer

• Pragmatic about AI: you know its limits, but your default orientation is toward what's possible, not what isn't

• Self-starter who takes ownership without needing to be convinced

Bonus points for:

• Experience with Enterprise/B2B SaaS platforms

• Hands-on with .NET on Azure Service Fabric or MongoDB

• Experience with WebSockets and document databases

Why BlueDolphin?

• 4.7/5 on Glassdoor

• Quarterly performance-based bonus

• Weekly team days at the office

• Working-From-Abroad program

• Full transparency in job levels and salaries for the internal team
