Job description

Viamericas is a #1 ranked and licensed money transmitter offering international money transfer, bill payment, check processing and a variety of other services at thousands of agent locations across the United States, and 287,885 locations in 95 countries.  At Viamericas, our ultimate objective is to help immigrants succeed and improve their lives by providing the highest quality financial services.  We are always seeking TOP TALENT – experienced individuals who embrace our core values of respect, integrity, empathy and creativity.

The person in this role will own the design and delivery of product features end-to-end and help drive architectural decisions across the stack. You will partner closely with product, UX, and business stakeholders to turn complex business problems into clean, maintainable software. We expect you to think like an owner, even at the developer level—anticipating risks and raising the bar on quality.

Duties and responsibilities

  • Help lead the design and implementation of features across frontend (React) and backend (Python, Node.js) services.
  • Collaborate with product owners, UX, and business stakeholders to shape requirements and deliver iterative, high-quality solutions.
  • Own architectural decisions—evaluate trade-offs, document them, and guide the team toward scalable, maintainable patterns.
  • Champion code quality, including testing, refactoring, and observability.
  • Proactively identify and resolve technical debt, performance bottlenecks, and security risks.

Information Security Responsibilities

  • Read, acknowledge, and comply with Viamericas Staff Information Security Policy via the Information Security training portal.  This should be done within 30 days of hire and repeated annually.
  • Attend periodic Information Security training provided by Viamericas.
  • Report any event that might be an Information Security Incident: clicked on a malicious link, downloaded, and opened a suspicious file, etc.
  • Protect from disclosure all sensitive information, credentials, and access to servers to which you have access.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of professional software development experience.
  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Professional proficiency in English required.
  • Strong proficiency in at least one frontend stack (React, TypeScript, HTML/CSS) and one backend stack (Python or Node.js).
  • Solid experience with SQL Server.
  • Experience with RESTful APIs and service-oriented or microservices architectures.
  • Demonstrated ability to communicate technical concepts to both peers and leadership.
  • Experience working in Agile teams.
  • Cloud experience, preferably AWS.

Nice to Have

  • FinTech industry exposure.
  • Experience building AI oriented chatbots
  • Experience mentoring developers or leading small teams.
