About The Position

This role involves gathering user requirements, translating them into technical user stories, and contributing to planning and grooming sessions. The engineer will produce architecture and design artifacts, troubleshoot technical issues, and implement fault-tolerant microservices. Key responsibilities include creating low-level designs, writing high-quality secure code, building applications, and ensuring successful integration with upstream/downstream systems. The position requires promoting changes to production/non-production environments, resolving issues, and collaborating closely with technology and product teams to deliver projects using agile methodology. The role also entails identifying and mitigating technical and application risks to ensure stability and security, researching new technologies, contributing to engineering communities, and mentoring junior/mid-level developers. A strong understanding of consumer financial products and regulatory requirements is necessary.
