Joining this team means working in an agile cross-functional development environment, combining development, test/QA, and analysis/design skills. The team is currently responsible for building key elements of the authorization application, which is a long-term delivery making use of a proprietary internal rules language alongside exposure to Go and Kafka in a Docker and Kubernetes micro services environment when delivering services. Exposure to these technologies with a deep understanding of one or more and a desire to learn more is essential. More products will be added over time, which could bring more technologies into the remit of the team, so flexibility and a desire to learn is key. As Go is an evolving language, candidates with a strong background in other languages (like C, C++ or Java) and a willingness to learn Go will be considered, with world class training resources provided to support the transition.

This includes being available to work outside standard office hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, as necessary to ensure the continuous and reliable operation of the system. This commitment to round the clock support is crucial for maintaining the high standards of service and reliability that our stakeholders and customers expect. Demonstrating a proactive approach to system monitoring and issue resolution, ensuring minimal disruption to services, is essential.

In addition to development work, the successful candidate will also be expected to provide production system support, ensuring stability and reliability for our mission critical platforms. This role provides an ideal opportunity for someone with strong Software Engineering credentials who aims to increase their payment industry knowledge and experience.
