Senior .NET Engineer (Benelux)

Lateral stands for technology excellence.

We’re a profitable, award-winning design and technology company with over 20 years of experience launching bold ventures and transforming businesses. A globally distributed team of 200+ experts united by a shared purpose: the continuous pursuit of quality.

Our clients come to us for results, quality and craft - and stay because we keep raising the bar.

We do things differently at Lateral

Our mission is simple: design and build great products .
What sets us apart isn’t just the talent of our team - it’s the way we work:

We Have A Bias For Action & Results.

We are doers - we spot the gaps, connect the dots, anticipate what’s around the corner and take action. We move fast, stay focused, and let the results - not the effort - speak for themselves.

We Work On Time, On Budget, On Quality

Discipline is our edge - a commitment we make to each other, to our clients, and to the standards we hold ourselves to.

We Care Deeply.

We care about our work and about each other. Care Is A Competitive Advantage.

Every detail matters. Every design, every line of code, every decision. Thoughtful by default.

We Do Things Right - Because It’s the Right Thing to Do

Right over easy. Integrity isn’t up for negotiation. We hold the bar high even when no one’s watching. We take pride in doing great work the right way - not the easy way.

We Keep Improving

The best teams keep improving and we’re never done learning.

We iterate. We reflect on what’s working and what’s not. Feedback fuels us, we receive it openly, and adapt quickly. Progress over perfection.

We’re Obsessed With Agility, Not The Agile Manifesto

We don’t chase dogma or rituals - we chase momentum. We adapt processes to fit problems, not the other way around.

We Take Ownership
Everyone leads something here. You will have room to run with ideas, and the trust to execute. That trust is built on how you show up: thinking things through, sweating the details, and following through.

What You’ll Do

As a Senior .NET Engineer at Lateral, you will:

• Design and build scalable, resilient cloud applications on Azure using C#, .NET and SQL, delivering solutions that are secure, high-performance, adhere to our Coding Standards and “just work”.
• Write clean, clear, and well-tested code, embracing software craftsmanship principles to produce robust, reusable and maintainable systems. You will ensure a high bar for code quality through comprehensive unit tests and attention to detail.
• Take ownership of features end-to-end , from initial concept through deployment. You’ll often drive substantial product features as the key developer alongside an architect or product designer.
• Mentor and support junior engineers , leading by example in code reviews and pair programming. You will offer constructive feedback that helps others grow, fostering a thoughtful, kind, and continuously learning team culture.
• Provide technical leadership in architecture and design discussions, advocating for simple, elegant solutions. You’ll challenge unnecessary complexity and focus on pragmatic results.
• Continuously improve the codebase through refactoring and refinement, balancing new feature development with paying down technical debt. You’ll adopt an iterative approach of tweaking and constantly improving the software to keep the system simple, stable, and adaptable.
• Champion quality , reliability and scalability by implementing best practices in cloud operations (monitoring, security, CI/CD).

Example Projects You May Join:

• Build an AI-powered healthcare platform to help detect diseases earlier.
• Launch a new fintech product from the ground up.
• Scale a global SaaS commerce system with millions of products

Whatever the challenge, you’ll be building software that changes lives and moves industries forward.

How We Measure Success In This Role

• You design before you code (and produce design artifacts)
• You have shipped code in Production, clean, tested
• You communicate clearly, raising issues early and contributing to reviews.
• You deliver what you commit to.

After 3 months:

• You take ownership of larger features and improvements from start to finish.
• You help others by sharing knowledge, spotting problems early, and improving processes or tooling.
• You make decisions with both the codebase and business goals in mind.

We measure success through:

• Evaluating results (what you’ve shipped)
• Quality and reliability of your code.
• Consistency in delivery.
• Feedback from peers and leads.
• Your ability to work independently and unblock others.
