Looking for a new Senior .NET Core developer in
Barcelona we asked the team what they like about working here! Yes, this
is a vacancy... not to be mistaken :)
Q: Why do you work here at Fourthline?
A: Because the company offers a great technical stack and stability.
Also a good work-life balance with enough flexibility that helps me
organize my own work.
Q: And as a Developer specific?
A: we work with a Microservices oriented architecture with the latest
.NET core versions, Docker containers and we use Azure DevOps as a
platform for continuous integration. Next to that we have a good
coverage of unit + integration tests. Those are things that are modern
and challenge me every day.
Q: Ok. sounds nice indeed. Anything else?
A: uhhhm... vale. We use a Bus to manage the communication between
Microservices and we have a good understanding and usage of IDE for the
.NET environment. I also think we have a good approach to the way we use
Agile methodologies. I like that a lot!
Q: And what can people expect to find at Fourthline Barcelona?
A: I think a great atmosphere with a cool and senior team. We are
people that like to do things together. We play paddle/pádel every week
and hang out for Friday drinks. So I think you can find a nice
environment where you can also make friends.
Now it is your turn to ask questions, but in the FAQ below I
think you are able to find the first steps to saturate your hunger for
knowledge about this position!
1. What would be my mission at Fourthline?
A: Help the company develop a very robust and secure application for
our KYC platform to conquer the world of online on-boarding! For this:
- You will design, develop, test, deploy and maintain and improve on new features
- You will maintain what is already there if need be (bug fixes)
- Also propose better ways of working in our architecture and the way we work together.
- As a senior, you are able to coach and mentor other people in the team in Barcelona
- With your experience, you contribute to our growth with what you learned from your successes and your failures
- Get everything documented properly, the boring part - we know - a dirty job. But someone has to do it
- You understand the entire development life cycle and work closely with others in squads (DevOps, AI and QA team)
- You combine technical and soft skills to tackle other people's
challenges and understand that people-based solutions are just as needed
as technology-based ones.
2. Can you just list the tech stack for me?
A: Sure thing! We work with .NET Core 2.2 – We have a Microservices
architecture that includes REST APIs, Docker, Queues (RabbitMQ), RDBMS
(PostgreSQL), Data Warehouses (AWS Redshift), Git, Linq, Entity
Framework, Event sourcing and a lot more! And we are thinking to add
Kubernetes as well.
Requirements
3. What do you expect from a senior in your team?
A: That you want to be the best version of yourself. Sounds a bit
cliche, we know, but it is a statement of willingness to improve who you
are now and that you are open to step outside of your comfort zone to
learn more and new things! Also a senior within Fourthline is willing to
share knowledge with others because we are stronger together.
4. And what do you think I should bring in experience?
A: Bring a great personality that is focused on learning and learning
together with the team. Pro active, positive and people oriented! And
in experience:
- A few good years of software development experience with a lot of focus on .NET and .NET core. So:
- Expert knowledge of .NET Framework 4.5 and above (.NET Core is actually a requirement)
- Docker
- AWS
- Microservices
- Kubernetes (is a bonus)
- RabbitMQ (bonus)
- Knowledge of SOLID principles and CI /CD
- Knowledge of common software design patterns
- We definitely also could do with some kick ass English skills
5. Let's say I like what I read so far. What do you offer next to a good salary?
A: We have a great office with great view overlooking Montjuic close to Placa Espanya. And like you, we value:
- A high degree of collaboration and autonomy to work on projects
- Crucial role in a highly motivated, talented team
- Flat structures and open communication
- Friday drinks (it's a Dutch thing, but it's cool...)
- Flexible working hours
- A real team. We play pádel together, have lunches outside of the office and hang out!
- A stack of the most modern technologies. But you already read about that enough ;)
6. And if you would describe Fourthline in a few sentences?
A: We are Fourthline – an award winning and fast growing FinTech
scale-up, motivated by a vision to turn financial risk and regulatory
challenges into simple and secure solutions. Simple, because we reduce
complexity and offer easy-to-integrate solutions to financial
institutions and platform businesses. Secure, because we enable our
