About the role

You will be helping us improve our platform moving towards a microservice architecture, focusing on continuous delivery, scalability and system resilience. The work is varied, from creating new products and features to improving existing functionality, we strive to build a better customer experience and a better codebase.

This is real growth at pace. We use a modern stack – Docker, Kubernetes, AWS,Spring Boot , Postgres SQL, Microservices – and modern tools – CI/CD, TDD, Agile – to get the job done.

As a member of Zepz Engineering team you will aim high, embrace challenges and always do what’s right; acting with integrity and building trust as you contribute to the company’s technical direction and long term decision making.

Reporting to the Senior Manager - Engineering, you will:

• Write great code. We understand that code is read more than it’s written, better tested, and maintainability is a must.

• Helping shape what we build. You’ll be working closely with product owners, designers and other engineers to design and refine our work. We work as a team and your input is key.

• Owning delivery. We’re obsessed with shipping value; you’ll own work beyond just a pull request. You’ll care about bugs, scalability, uptime and other non-functional requirements.

• Growing together. You’ll review others' work and happily seek feedback on yours to ensure we build a better codebase and sharpen each other's skills.

What we’re looking for from you:

• Strong experience of building REST APIs or gRPC APIs  and services.

• Extensive experience in Java

• Experience working with Microservices

• Working knowledge of Spring Boot

• Bias for action. You see a problem, you fix a problem. You get buy-in for your solutions and keep tickets moving. We’re always looking for ways to ship at pace.

Bonus point if you have 

• Previous Fintech / Payments Experience

• Experience working with distributed asynchronous systems

• Happy in the Clouds. Our Cloud Native platform is hosted in AWS. You’ll be comfortable working with a system that supports users from around the world, at scale.
