We are The Tour Guy , the leading provider of unforgettable tours and authentic experiences for English-speaking travelers exploring Europe and the U.S.A. Our mission is simple: to help people make the most of life by immersing themselves in destinations, culture, and learning.

The Candidate

We are looking for a backend engineer who cares deeply about building software the right way.

Our stack is primarily .NET , and our domain is e-commerce. We build systems at scale and need someone who can design and develop APIs that are secure, performant, reliable, and maintainable.

You should be able to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions. Performance, privacy, and security should be part of your engineering mindset from day one.

We value engineers who enjoy solving complex problems and designing efficient algorithms, not just writing code.

AI is part of our workflow. We expect engineers to use it to understand systems faster, identify issues, improve quality, and accelerate delivery, while always applying critical thinking and engineering judgment.

You are not just an executor. You document decisions, requirements, dependencies, deployment procedures, and operational knowledge. You leave systems better than you found them.

What we’re looking for

• Strong experience with .NET backend development
• Experience designing and building REST APIs
• Solid understanding of performance optimization and scalability
• Strong knowledge of security, privacy, and software architecture
• Ability to turn business requirements into technical solutions
• Comfortable using AI tools effectively without depending on them
• Passion for clean code, documentation, and continuous improvement

Experience in e-commerce is a plus. Passion is essential.

What we offer

• A well-established and highly experienced development team
• A fast-growing company becoming one of the leaders in European tourism
• The opportunity to make a real impact on products used at scale
• Competitive compensation between €40,000 and €60,000 gross per year (RAL), depending on experience and skills

Details are not just details. They make the difference.

At The Tour Guy we offer equal opportunities. We are committed to treat all candidates equally based on their skills, achievements and experience regardless of their race, nationality, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other classification protected by law.
