Are you ready to write your next chapter?

Make your mark at one of the biggest names in payments. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our ever-evolving Gordian Knot team and help us unleash the potential of every business.

As a Senior Software Engineer, your skills will be utilized to keep commerce moving. You’ll plan and manage application development and client delivery activities that range from small, simple software applications to components of large, complex software applications.

In this role you will contribute to a complex monolithic application that powers payment processing and value added services for merchants. At that same time as we modernize our platforms, we will look for opportunities to design, develop, and maintain scalable microservices.

What you’ll own:

  • Design, develop, and test software for scalability, reliability, and data recovery associated with a high-volume, high-availability platform
  • Collaborate with other internal teams (Product, Platform, Merchant Services and Support) to convert business requirements into technical solutions
  • Use Agile software techniques such as pair programming and test-driven development to maximize productivity and quality
  • Deploy new features into production with zero platform downtime and no impact to end customers who are currently processing
  • Build domain expertise in e-commerce payments and apply engineering expertise to develop new product features
  • Work in a "team focused" culture, where strong collaboration and communication are critical

What you’ll bring:

  • A bachelor's degree in computer engineering, computer science or other related discipline or the equivalent combination of education, training, or work experience.
  • 7 years of relevant job experience in Java Software Engineering, not including internships.
  • Exceptional design and SQL and Java programming skills
  • Ability to quickly grasp high-level business goals, derive requirements, and translate them into effective technical solutions
  • Ability to fluidly change context and priorities based on changing business needs
  • Proficiency with SQL, relational data modelling, and database schema design

It’s a bonus if you have

  • Experience with Microservices architecture, globally distributed services, and 24/7 support
  • Experience with RESTful API design, and cloud technologies like Kubernetes, Kafka
  • Experience with design and implementation of monitoring and responsive, self-healing resilient immutable platforms
  • Knowledge of scalability levers in high volume, low latency transactional systems
  • Experience working in AWS, OpenShift Platform
  • Experience with Ansible, Maven, Gradle, Jenkins, Harness, Snyk, SonarQ, Cucumber, Karate
  • Experience with Splunk, Sysdig, OpsGenie, Open Telemetry, Instaclustr, Prometheus, JBehave, JGiven, Xmatters, ServiceNow
  • Development experience with a unit testing framework (JUnit and experience employing TDD preferred)
  • Pair programming experience. A willingness to try is a requirement
