Job description
Alongside partners with organizations to drive digital transformation and build high-performing tech teams.
We're looking for a mid-level engineer to own both backend service development and data engineering on a realtime facility navigation and asset-tracking platform for industrial and logistics sites. The platform ingests live positioning and telemetry data from BLE-based tracking hardware, correlates it into events (e.g., asset pickups, movement, dwell time), and exposes it through backend services to web and mobile clients.
What You'll Do
• Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs (C#/.NET) that power the platform's core business logic.
• Implement and maintain the service layer for asset tracking, facility navigation, and event detection features.
• Integrate with third-party positioning/telemetry providers and their APIs.
• Define and evolve API contracts in collaboration with the frontend team (web admin portal and mobile app).
• Write automated tests, participate in code review, and help keep the codebase maintainable as the platform grows.
• Support deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting of backend services in production.
What We're Looking For
• 2–5 years of professional software engineering experience.
• Strong proficiency in C#/.NET for backend service development.
• Experience integrating with third-party APIs and webhooks.
• Comfortable working with real-time or near-real-time data processing requirements.
• Experience with a major cloud platform (Azure preferred, given the .NET stack).
• Strong communication skills and comfort working in a small, cross-functional, fast-moving team.
Nice to Have
• Experience with actor-model or distributed-systems frameworks (e.g., Orleans).
• Background in industrial, logistics, or IoT domains.
- Remote work (Vietnam-based)
- Estimated project duration: 19 weeks
- Full-time schedule: 4 hours per day overlapping with Portugal business hours
- Freelance / Service Agreement
- Hourly Rate: 12$-16$
Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Alongside. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
