If you're .NET backend engineer who enjoys solving real problems with clean code and solid architecture, this role at RainTech is very likely your kind of challenge.
You'll work remotely from Indonesia for a global client, building the backend systems and APIs that power their business, working on system integrations, cloud infrastructure, and real production code.
What You'll Actually Be Doing Day to Day
Forget the vague "build APIs" line you see in many JDs. Here, the work is much more concrete.
- Designing, developing, and maintaining backend services and RESTful APIs using C# and .NET that other teams actually rely on, not just internal tools that nobody monitors.
- Implementing and managing system integrations between internal and external APIs, connecting apps, vendors, and third-party platforms so data flows smoothly instead of living in silos.
- Writing, optimizing, and troubleshooting T-SQL queries and stored procedures for performance, and reliability.
- Developing and maintaining RESTful APIs with focus on performance, scalability, and reliability.
- Practicing TDD with xUnit and Moq, so you don't need to be scared every time you deploy on Friday.
- Deploying, monitoring, and maintaining applications on Azure using App Service, Key Vault, Blob Storage, Azure functions, Azure Cache for Redis, and Application Insights as part of your normal workflow.
- Using GitHub and GitHub Actions for version control, CI/CD, and deployment automation.
- Collaborating in Agile/Scrum teams with cross-functional colleagues to deliver features and enhancements.
You'll also talk directly to business stakeholders, help gather and clarify requirements, and provide technical insight, not just "take ticket, code, next ticket."
What Makes This JD Different from the Usual .NET Postings
On paper, a lot of .NET roles look the same. Under the hood, this one has a few important differences.
If you've been feeling "too comfortable" in a pure CRUD/internal app environment, this role pushes you into more integration-heavy, cloud-centric work, without forcing you to relocate.
Why This is Good for Your Future Self
You're not just trading time for salary here, you're investing in skills that age well.
Growing as a Modern .NET Backend Engineer
The stack in this role lines up with where the .NET ecosystem is heading:
- Azure-first thinking: you'll get used to deploying to App Service and Functions, wiring up Blob Storage, Key Vault, Redis, and instrumenting everything with Application Insights.
- Real-world performance work: T-SQL, indexing, query plans, and debugging slow endpoints will become a normal part of your toolkit.
- Testing as a habit: TDD with xUnit and Moq means your code is easier to evolve and refactor later.
- CI/CD fluency: GitHub Actions and deployment automation become second nature.
These are the same areas senior .NET developers highlight in modern roadmaps for 2025-2026.
Opening Doors Beyond "Backend Engineer"
Once you've done this type of work for a while, several paths naturally open up:
- Senior / Lead Backend Engineer: taking ownership of services, design reviews, and mentoring juniors.
- Integration / Solution Architect: focusing on how systems talk to each other, designing contracts and flows instead of just endpoints.
- Platform-leaning roles: if you enjoy CI/CD, observability, and cloud automation, this stack is a strong base to grow into platform engineering.
And because RainTech works with multiple global clients, strong performance here makes it easier to get pulled into new, more senior engagements later.
Why Do it via RainTech, Not Just Directly Anywhere?
RainTech is built around one core idea: global hiring should feel simple for both companies and engineers, especially in Southeast Asia.
As an engineer, that gives you a few practical benefits:
- You work for global clients, but your employment, payroll, and compliance are handled locally through RainTech's Employer of Record setup that protects software engineers working globally
- You're screened and supported by people who actually have engineering and leadership backgrounds, not just CV keyword matching. See how RainTech sources and prepares Indonesian tech talent
- You're not tied to just one opportunity, being in the RainTech talent pool means you're on the radar for future roles as they open up.
In short: you get access to international-grade work, while someone else handles the messy legal/HR side and understands what engineers actually need to do a good job.
Beyond the operational side, you're tapping into Indonesia's growing tech talent ecosystem and positioning yourself as globally competitive, which open doors for future opportunities both within RainTech and beyond.
The Financial Reality: Why Remote Work from Indonesia Makes Sense
If you're reading this from Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, or anywhere in Indonesia, you already know that local salary ranges can feel constraining if you're a mid-to-senior backend engineer. This role changes that equation.
Working with a global client through RainTech means your compensation is benchmarked against international standards, not local market rates.
See how other Indonesian engineers have made the jump to USD salaries and what the real financial impact looks like.
You keep your cost of living advantage (rent, food, childcare in Indonesia is significantly cheaper than SF or London), but you earn like you're in a tier-1 tech hub. That compounds over time.
