Job Description

We are WORLDPAY. Our technology powers the world’s economy and our teams bring innovation to life. We champion diversity to deliver the best products and solutions for our colleagues, clients, and communities. If you’re ready to start learning, growing, and making an impact with a career in fintech, we’d like to know: Are you WORLDPAY?

About the role

WORLDPAY provides a leading in-house payment management platform (SaaS - Software as a Service) that serves high-volume merchants such as Netflix, Overstock.com, GoDaddy, and many more. At WORLDPAY, we know that our platform is only as good as the people behind it. We are looking for talented people who are eager to learn about our technology and, more importantly, about the details that make our business tick. As a Software Engineer Senior, your skills will be at the core of changing the way the world pays, banks, and invests. 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.

About the team
We consistently develop and deliver new features onto our live platform. This platform handles millions of merchant transactions around the clock while delivering a robust feature set aimed at boosting our merchant’s payments capabilities. These features, along with our ability to consistently deliver them, make us stand out in the highly competitive payments business. Our engineering team is critical to our mission; we are fundamentally a technology company. We succeed by offering innovative features to our merchants while retaining the reliability, quality, and fault tolerance they require. 

Future platform development work utilizes microservices, cloud-based architecture with best of breed technologies to promote easier scaling and maintenance.  The development environment aims to continually improve as new technologies are considered for gains made in efficiency or effectiveness.  Service codebases rely on a large suite of automated tests to help find defects early in the life cycle.  Software development teams have true ownership of the services as they build, release, and operate. 

What you will be doing

• 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

Where you'll own it

You will own it in our buzzing Burlington, MA hub on our hybrid basis. Hybrid is 2 days in the office. Candidates must be open and willing to relocate at their own expense to this office for consideration. While we are a large team of Worldpayers based in North America, we have collaborative spaces and regular opportunities to celebrate with each other in person.      

What you 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 on the job experience in Software Engineering, not including internships.

• Exceptional design and programming skills (Java strongly preferred, but we are open to other Object-Oriented languages) with the ability to solve architectural and system issues involving scalability, distributed systems, and relational databases

• 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

• Experience with Microservices architecture, globally distributed services, and 24/7 support

• Experience with RESTful API design, and cloud technologies like Kubernetes, Kafka

• Proficiency with SQL, relational data modelling, and database schema design

Added bonus if you have

• Experience with design and implementation of monitoring and responsive, self-healing resilient immutable platforms
