This is a mission critical endeavor, with plenty of interesting engineering challenges in a space that is ripe for innovation. Open banking, ISO 20022, real-time/instant payments, and modern cross-border schemes are revolutionizing clearing and settlement. Our Platform is becoming the gateway to existing and emerging global payment rails; and we are using an innovative integration stack to “speak” the many schemes and formats. Beyond the transactional aspect, our differentiating value is contextual. A rich data backbone and deep integration with enterprise data sources allow us to offer powerful omnichannel APIs and extension points used by developers that build customer facing experiences such as P2P payments, loans, bill-pay, commercial cross border payments, AP automation, and many more. We are beginning our journey of transforming the technical landscape in our teams to use a microservice architecture and are looking to bolster our technical talent by acquiring full-stack developers, using technologies such as Java, Kotlin, Spring, and React. </div><div> Responsibilities:   </div><div>As a developer, you will be responsible for end-to-end delivery of your software from inception to production, working on a mixture of green- and brown-field projects, learning from, and contributing to your peer group. </div><div> Qualifications:   </div><div><ul><li>Bachelors or masters degree in computer science, computer engineering, software engineering, or other technical discipline, or equivalent work experience </li><li>Push Payments Expertise </li><li>8+ years of software development experience with strong knowledge in Java, Rest APIs, and exposure to alternate JVM languages: Kotlin, Clojure </li></ul></div><div>Technical Skills: <ul><li>Python, Scala, Node.js, Golang, Java, JavaScript, C++, C#,Kotlin</li><li>Database: MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Postgres</li><li>Search &amp; log: Solr, Fruendt, Prometheus</li><li>Container orchestration: Kubernetes, GKE, Docker</li><li>CI/CD: Jenkins, SonarQube</li><li>Cloud services: Big Query, DataPro, Dataflow, Cloud SQL, Cloud Composer, AWS EMR</li><li>Other: Git, Gitflow, Jira, Bitbucket, Gitlab, Trello, Scrum</li><li>Frameworks: Quarkus, Ktor</li><li>NoSQL databases: MongoDB, Cassandra, HBase, Couchbase</li><li>Applied statistics skills: distributions, statistical testing, regression analysis</li><li>Creativity &amp; Problem-Solving Skills</li><li>Adaptability &amp; Flexibility</li><li>Aptitude for technology; curiosity, passion, and startup mindset</li><li>Innovative thinking </li></ul></div></div><div><div><ul><li> Other Skills (that will be a plus): </li><li>Web technologies – An in-depth knowledge and experience working with web technologies such as JavaScript, HTML, CSS, TypeScript, C#, SASS, Stylus, Stylus, Python, and LESS. </li><li>React tools – Strong proficiency in Enzyme, Webpack, Redux, and Flux. </li><li>Web frameworks – Proven expertise in different frameworks like React Native, AngularJS, Angular2, VueJS, SocketIO, Backbone, KnockoutJS, Svelte, and Bootstrap. </li><li>Open-source Libraries – Demonstrable experience with jQuery, MomentJS, html5sql.js, RequireJS, and Loads. </li><li>Software testing tools – A good working knowledge in testing codes using Mocha, Jest, Unit-tests, TDD, Karma, VCS, and Selenium (base). </li><li>Databases – A familiarity of working with different databases such as MySQL, NoSQL (e.g., MongoDB), PostgreSQL, Redis is recommended. </li><li>Code repositories – Working experience using GitHub, Bitbucket, Rhode Code, and devZing Subversion </li><li>Cloud management – A strong background in different cloud platforms like Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, OpenStack Apache, and Google Cloud Platform </li></ul></div></div> We back you with benefits that support your holistic well-being so you can be and deliver your best.
