Senior Software Development Engineer

Job Description

We are the FIS Embedded Finance team, and our mission is to enable developers across all verticals to imagine, create and monetize financial products to profoundly transform the way the entire financial industry consumes services. Today, it's difficult for many businesses to build the financial products they imagine. Whether that's launching a new credit or debit card, a savings account, a lending business, or anything else — there are barriers in the way, that require excessive time and effort. We make it trivially easy for businesses to compliantly offer financial products, and innovate on their key differentiators rather than spend all their time building and maintaining financial infrastructure.

About the role:

We are looking for a Backend Software Design Engineer to help us build a brand-new financial technology platform for the future. We look for people who operate like owners, who loves to learn, have grit, and operate with integrity and empathy. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. Your skills and passion will stand out — and set you apart. We welcome diverse perspectives and people who are not afraid to challenge assumptions.

What you will be doing:

• Contribute on major initiatives in core and foundational services to extend our financial platform capabilities.
• Partner closely with product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders to fully understand the feature and product vision and provide engineering feedback.
• Design elegant API interfaces and domain models to provide consistency across multiple downstream vendor integrations.
• Build secure, robust, scalable, and performant systems for processing transactions and managing customer data.
• Set and maintain high standards of technical excellence across the team.
• Achieve operational excellence by participating in the team on-call rotation and owning production issues from root cause analysis to resolution.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to prioritize projects and communicate changes to broader audiences.
• Estimate project timelines, ensuring that projects you own stay on track and escalating as needed.
• Contribute to the creation of a stronger team through mentorship and candidate interviews

 

What you will need:

• 5+ years of relevant technical experience in software development roles.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or directly related field.
• Experience leading projects from architectural design to production, while setting and maintaining high standards of technical excellence across your team.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, and a history of working effectively with your team and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Experience or interest in building FinTech, payment, banking, or core infrastructure systems

 

Added bonus if you have:

• Experience working with service mesh architectures on major Cloud providers like AWS/Azure/GCP.
• Experience designing and implementing APIs for third-party developers.
• Experience designing, implementing, and managing internal services and APIs for first-party developers.
• Experience integrating third-party vendor solutions into backend systems.
• Experience with Python (Flask & Django) and Kubernetes.

What we offer you:

A career at FIS is more than just a job. It’s the change to shape the future of fintech. At FIS, we offer you:

• A voice in the future of fintech
• Always-on learning and development
• Collaborative work environment
• Opportunities to give back
• Competitive salary and benefits
