Remote Backend Developer Jobs in Clinton, TN (NOW HIRING)

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
