As part of the team you will be contributing towards Modernization efforts to architect and design platforms for the cloud. Surely, you’re wondering what happens on day one of being a team member. It’s pretty simple. You walk into the building and are immediately met with a view of the impressive interior of the FIS facility. It’s truly a sight. Before long, you are given a shiny new Macbook which you can consider the canvas for your art, the vessel for your innovation, and the key to unlocking your technological imagination.

On that particular day, they’ll introduce you to other team members, help you get a lay of the land, and catch you up on current projects. Then it’s time for the “Pilot Push” which is your chance to shine very early as you create and commit a code push to Git.
