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.

Requirements

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.

Benefits

  • 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

Alongside is an innovative, enterprise-grade digital mental health and student wellness platform engineered to operate as the definitive, school-integrated support infrastructure layer for modern K-12 education systems. Operating as a mission-critical clinical-intelligence engine, the platform eliminates the severe operational friction of traditional, overburdened school counseling systems—which frequently suffer from extreme student-to-counselor ratios, delayed crisis intervention, and fragmented mental health tracking—by seamlessly deploying an advanced, AI-driven tiers of care support assistant. Moving far beyond traditional, legacy clinic models or unmonitored wellness widgets, Alongside empowers public school districts, charter networks, and educational institutions to dynamically synchronize their tier-1 mental health interventions, real-time student sentiment telemetry, and immediate counselor escalations with elite, scalable, and audit-ready precision. Under the hood, their sophisticated proprietary validation infrastructure—built in deep collaboration with adolescent clinical psychologists, bolstered by strict COPPA and FERPA privacy compliance protocols, and persistent safety-keyword monitors—natively manages high-concurrency student interactions, automated self-regulation exercises, and urgent risk reporting. What sets Alongside apart is its uncompromising dedication to safe, frictionless student orchestration; by bridging the gap between performance-intensive, high-stakes clinical safety frameworks and accessible, highly engaging gamified chat interfaces, the platform enables modern educational organizations to radically accelerate their care-delivery velocity, eliminate systemic counseling bottlenecks, and build an unassailable foundation for continuous student well-being and academic thriving in the modern, technology-transformed landscape.
