If you possess the skills and ambition to create cutting-edge payment solutions that seamlessly connect with our customers across various platforms, we invite you to be part of this transformative journey. You will join a fast-paced, entrepreneurial team focused on delivering outstanding experiences for our card members. We seek a seasoned software engineer who will collaborate closely with business units and development teams to create new system functionalities as outlined in technical and functional specifications.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead projects, design system solutions, develop custom applications, and adapt existing applications to meet evolving business needs. Engage in coding, debugging, and documentation, while providing ongoing production support.

  • Play a vital role in partnering with other development teams, quality assurance, and production support to ensure timely implementation and smooth transitions throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Focus on building and executing a strategy that transitions from monolithic, tightly coupled, batch-based legacy systems to a loosely coupled, event-driven, microservices architecture to achieve long-term business objectives.
Minimum Qualifications:
  • A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience, along with 5+ years of experience in a modern development stack, particularly with Golang.
  • Proficiency in application design, software development, and testing, preferably in an Agile environment.

  • Experience in designing and developing REST APIs for high-volume clients.
  • Familiarity with continuous integration tools (Jenkins, GHA) is a plus.
  • Experience with automated build and test frameworks is beneficial.
  • A strong desire to learn new technologies and apply them in practical software solutions.
  • Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies, such as Docker and Kubernetes, is a plus.
  • Familiarity with Atlassian software development and collaboration tools (JIRA, Confluence, etc.) is advantageous.
  • A strong ability to develop unique and innovative ideas.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Willingness to take risks, experiment, and share fresh perspectives.

  • Competitive base salaries.
  • Bonus incentives.
  • Support for financial well-being and retirement.
