About The Company

Lateral stands for technology excellence.

Lateral is 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 . We work with a bias for action and results, we move fast, stay focused, and let the results speak for themselves. We aim to work on time, on budget, on quality, and we care deeply about our work and each other. Every detail matters. We iterate, reflect, and adapt quickly. We value agility, ownership, and collaboration.

What You’ll Do

As a Senior .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. 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).

Why You’ll Love Working Here

Real Impact : You’ll work on meaningful products that make a measurable difference - from healthcare and commerce to sustainability and next-gen tech

Remote-First, Office Friendly : Work from wherever you’re most productive - whether that’s your home, a co-working space, or one of our offices. We’re a remote-first company, but if you’re near an office, you’re welcome to drop in, collaborate in person, or work onsite regularly.

We prioritize async collaboration, respect your time zone, and focus on outcomes over hours

An Outstanding Team : Talented, kind, and hard-working people who care deeply about their craft - and about each other. No egos. No politics. Just professionals doing their best work.

Growth : You’ll be supported in growing your craft, exploring new paths, and stepping into greater responsibility - at your own pace

A Culture of Excellence : We care deeply about doing the right thing - for our clients, our team, and ourselves. No burnout. No crunch. Just high-quality work, delivered sustainably.

Variety & Stability : We’re profitable, independent, and over a decade strong. Yet every project brings a fresh challenge. You’ll never be bored here.

This Role Might Not Be for You

We want to respect your time by being clear about what this role isn’t. You should skip this opportunity if :

You prefer well defined structure. If you gravitate towards a clear hierarchy, well defined roles and swim lanes, you may find our self-managed style challenging.

Distributed work isn’t your thing. If you find async communication, design documentation and being proactive without a manager nearby difficult, our setup won’t suit you.

Feedback doesn’t excite you. We’re obsessed with quality and believe in continuous improvement. That means we give feedback that’s sometimes nitpicky. If refining the work until it’s excellent feels over the top, you are likely going to find working here frustrating.

Change makes you uncomfortable. We’re scaling and maturing. That means not everything is perfect yet. Priorities shift. Processes evolve. If ambiguity is uncomfortable, this may feel bumpy.

However, if this sounds like fuel, we’d love to talk!

How to apply and what to expect in the interview process

Our hiring process is structured as a sequence of steps. Moving forward is based on how well the previous step goes. This helps us stay focused, fair, and respectful of everyone’s time. We will always :

Step 6 : Reference Checks

Purpose : We believe references are about understanding, not just validation. We do not look for perfection, but to understand patterns, strengths, and context. We use them to learn how to support you best.

What to Expect : we’ll ask you for 2–3 people who’ve worked closely with you. These are often : former managers, senior peers or collaborators, mentors or people you've mentored.

What we ask : We focus on how you’ve grown, where you shine, how you like to be led, and what support sets you up for success. We want practical advice for making this a great fit for you.

Yes, we do backchannels too : We do this when we feel we need more context. We will check with you if there are folks we should avoid reaching out due to confidentiality or other reasons. And here’s our commitment : if anything surprising or unclear comes up in a backchannel, we’ll bring it directly to you. We believe in “no stories without you in the room.” You’ll always get the chance to share your side, context, or clarification.

Step 7 : Offer

What Happens : If selected, you'll receive a comprehensive offer detailing compensation, and other pertinent information. Our hiring process is designed to be thorough yet respectful, ensuring a mutual fit. We encourage candidates to engage actively, ask questions, and view this as a two-way exploration.
