Software Engineer

As a Software Engineer within ORTEC Data Science & Consulting (DS&C), you will be part of our Software Development Services (SDS) team, working at the intersection of technology and consultancy. In this role, you’ll design, build, and enhance cloud-native solutions that have a tangible impact on the daily operations of our customers. Your work will span multiple projects and industries, collaborating closely with talented ORTEC engineers, data scientists, architects, and consultants. You’ll have the opportunity to contribute both from within our own teams and directly at client sites, experiencing a wide variety of domains, steep learning curves, and the chance to deliver production-grade systems used by organizations worldwide.

In this hands-on engineering and consultancy role, you’ll combine technical problem-solving with translating functional needs into robust, scalable software. Our multidisciplinary teams operate in short iterations, value craftsmanship, and take full ownership of their work—from design all the way to running software in production, whether at ORTEC or directly for our clients.

What you will do

• Design, build, and operate solutions using C#/.NET or Python on Microsoft Azure.
• Contribute to cloud infrastructure through Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD practices.
• Implement engineering best practices such as testing, security, and monitoring.
• Collaborate with architects and product owners to clarify and refine requirements.
• Enhance reliability and troubleshoot real-world issues in production environments.
• Work in mixed ORTEC–client teams and adapt to different domains as needed.
• Participate in projects involving Java applications; previous experience is helpful, but willingness to learn and contribute is key.
