Senior Staff Software Development Engineer

Job Description

As the world works and lives faster, FIS is leading the way.  Our fintech solutions touch nearly every market, company and person on the planet. Our teams are inclusive and diverse. Our colleagues work together and celebrate together. If you want to advance the world of fintech, we’d like to ask you: Are you FIS?     

About the team 

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 Senior Staff Software Development Engineer to help us build a brand-new financial technology platform for the future. We look for people who operate like owners, who love 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.  

Note: We have a hybrid work environment in our Seattle/Bellevue office unless the role or business dictates otherwise. 

What you will be doing  

• Act as the de facto authority for a major system or significant component, providing expert guidance and judgment necessary for diagnosing unexpected behaviors, evaluating proposed changes (considering both short-term needs and long-term system goals), and addressing client needs. You'll be a clear domain expert, able to identify critical issues for the future of the system and propose novel and innovative solutions. 

• Unravel ambiguous technical challenges, making them tractable and leading them through to successful solutions.  

• Champion innovation and identify new technologies and solutions to move our platform forward.  

• Provide technical leadership and guidance to team members, fostering knowledge sharing and growth.  

• Collaborate with cross-functional partners to translate business needs into elegant, scalable, and secure technical architectures.  

• Influence design and planning decisions across multiple teams, even those with competing priorities.  

• Manage broad technical areas, requiring deep expertise and the ability to navigate complex relationships. 

• Participate in code reviews to ensure code quality, maintainability, security, scalability, and adherence to coding standards. 

• Provide live on-call support and drive projects to reduce operational burden and technical debt. 

What you will need  

• At a minimum, a Bachelor's in CS or equivalent education
