- Foster Cross-Functional Collaboration: work with diverse teams to drive forward product and technology goals
- Shape our future team: Play a pivotal role in recruiting and onboarding exceptional talent

## What You’ll Need to Succeed

- 8+ years of experience with strong proficiency in Java, Kotlin, Scala with a proven track record of developing high-performance applications in production settings. Insightful experience with big data technologies like Hadoop, real-time processing frameworks (e.g., Apache Spark), and advanced knowledge of SQL and data architecture
- Thinks in systems: their edge cases, failure modes, and life cycles
- Uses a metrics driven approach and can make informed decisions using data
- You are passionate about the craft of software development and constantly work to improve your knowledge and skills
- Experience with Scrum/Agile development methodologies

It’s Great If You Have

- Experience working in a modern FinTech or Payments organization

- Hands-on experience working with technologies like Spark for data processing, ETLs for data pipelines and queueing systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
- Core engineering infrastructure tools like GitLab for source control and Continuous Integration, Kubernetes
- Experience developing, maintaining and debugging large-scale distributed systems
- Experience in leading projects, initiatives and/or teams, with full ownership of the systems involved
