About The Company

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.

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 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 and 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 chase momentum and adapt processes to fit problems.
We Take Ownership
. Everyone leads something here. You will have room to run with ideas, and the trust to execute.

What You’ll Do

As a .NET Developer 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. 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. Often drive substantial product features as the key developer alongside an architect or product designer.
• Continuously improve the codebase through refactoring and refinement, balancing new feature development with paying down technical debt. Adopt an iterative approach to keep the system simple, stable, and adaptable.
• Champion quality, reliability and scalability by implementing best practices in cloud operations (monitoring, security, CI/CD).
