In brief
**Overview** This is a 100% remote contract position for an Intermediate C# AI Backend Engineer, offering a negotiable rate of R500 per hour. The role is for a backend engineer with a strong focus on building real-world, production-ready software and complex distributed systems, rather than tutorial or "coming soon" projects. The recruiter for this position is E-Merge, a specialist IT recruitment agency; the name of the hiring company is not specified in the job description. **What you will do** The successful candidate will be responsible for building real software for real users and shipping backend services to production. This includes making architectural decisions, understanding the trade-offs involved in those decisions, and debugging production systems. **Requirements (from the original advert)** * 4 to 6 years of experience building real software for real users. * Have shipped backend services to production. * Knowledge of Microservices, DDD, TDD, Event-Driven Architecture, and Clean Architecture. * Familiarity with CQRS, Saga, and Circuit Breakers. * Understanding that every architectural decision comes with trade-offs. * Ability to confidently state "I don't know, but I'll find out." * Ability to ask questions before spending 8 hours debugging the wrong thing. * Skills and Technologies: .Net, C#, Typescript, Go, Nextjs, Node.js. **Who should apply** This role is ideal for a Backend Engineer who has a deep understanding of distributed systems and complex APIs, beyond simplistic interpretations. Candidates who have experience explaining why "just make it synchronous" isn't always the answer, and who demonstrate a strong curiosity, potentially through side projects, are encouraged to apply. Additional valuable experience includes React / Next.js, familiarity with LLMs, RAG, AI agents, or having built something innovative with AI, and knowledge of Cloud, containers, CI/CD, Docker, and Kubernetes. **Deadline** Not specified **Reference** Original posting: https://www.jobmail.co.za/jobs/it-computer/other-it-computer/south-africa/intermediate-c%23-ai-backend-engineer-100%25-remote-r500-ph-id-7518774 Source: jobmail
