Job description
About the Role
Regal is seeking a Backend Engineer to help build and maintain the systems that power our consumer-facing digital products, ticketing, ordering, loyalty, payments, and mobile experiences used by millions of moviegoers across the country.
This is a backend-focused role. You will spend the majority of your time designing and building APIs, services, and data systems in .NET and C#. You won't be expected to own the front end, but you will collaborate closely with front-end engineers and should be comfortable contributing to a React or Next.js codebase when the work calls for it.
You'll join a team that is actively modernizing its engineering culture, moving toward full-stack collaboration, shared ownership, and a more deliberate engineering practice. This isn't a siloed specialist role. You'll be expected to communicate openly, work across disciplines, and care about what you ship. This opportunity is open to Remote US candidates.
Key Responsibilities
Design, build, test, and maintain backend services and APIs using C# and .NET
Own backend features end to end, from technical design through deployment and production support
Collaborate with front-end engineers, product managers, and designers to deliver complete, well-integrated features
Write clean, testable, and well-documented code with a focus on reliability and maintainability
Participate in code reviews, both giving and receiving feedback thoughtfully
Contribute to architectural discussions and help define technical direction on your team
Identify and address performance bottlenecks, scalability concerns, and technical debt
Support and improve observability, logging, monitoring, and alerting across services you own
Qualifications
Required
3+ years of professional software engineering experience with meaningful backend ownership
Strong proficiency in C# and .NET, this is your primary stack
Experience designing and building RESTful APIs consumed by web and mobile clients
Solid understanding of relational databases, SQL Server experience strongly preferred
Familiarity with cloud platforms, CI/CD practices, and modern software deployment
Ability to work independently and take ownership of features from design through delivery
Strong communication skills, you can explain technical decisions clearly to engineers and non-engineers alike
Preferred
Experience with CosmosDB or other NoSQL document databases
Familiarity with React or Next.js, enough to collaborate effectively with front-end engineers and contribute when needed
Experience with Azure or similar cloud environments
Experience with React Native or cross-platform mobile development
Exposure to event-driven architecture, message queuing, or async processing patterns
Experience with observability tooling, Datadog, Serilog, Application Insights, or similar
Experience building consumer-facing products at meaningful scale
Familiarity with Redis or distributed caching strategies
What Success Looks Like
You ship reliable, well-tested backend features that make the product better for millions of guests
Your APIs are clean, documented, and easy for front-end engineers and partners to consume
You're a trusted voice in technical discussions, your opinions are informed, your code is sound, and your teammates want you in the room
You give and receive code review feedback that makes the team better
You raise issues early, communicate clearly, and don't let blockers sit
