  • Strengthen security and operational resilience by embedding secure development practices, optimizing system performance, and ensuring solutions meet Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance standards.

What you'll bring

  • Proven experience leading the design and delivery of complex full-stack applications using Java, Spring Boot, React.js, JavaScript, and TypeScript in enterprise environments.
  • Demonstrated ability to architect scalable solutions, solve complex technical challenges, and guide engineering teams through successful delivery in Agile environments.
  • Strong expertise working with relational databases and data warehouses, including advanced Structured Query Language (SQL) development and performance optimization.
  • Experience mentoring engineers, conducting code reviews, and influencing technical decisions that improve software quality and business outcomes.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, with 6+ years of software engineering experience and 3+ years in a technical leadership capacity.

It's a bonus if you have

  • Experience building and optimizing solutions on Snowflake, Oracle, or Microsoft SQL Server data platforms, including large-scale reporting or data processing environments.
  • Hands-on experience with Apigee, continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and cloud-native development practices.
  • Experience within payments, merchant services, financial technology, or highly regulated environments where security, performance, and scalability are critical.
