Senior Software Backend Engineer (Java)

About the role:

We count on you to help us build a new Back Office platform which will be used by our multi-brand operations team supporting customers who are sending money transfers from 50 countries into 150+ markets worldwide. 

You will be joining a newly built team which aims to create microservice-based, AWS-centric solutions which allow operation teams to do their daily work, automate processes using various domains’ APIs, and integrate with internal and external platforms. The Back Office solution will operate in several domains and will integrate them together under one UI channel.

We use a modern stack – Java 11 & 17, React, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Microservices – and modern approaches  – CI/CD, Agile – to get the job done. 

As a member of WorldRemit’s 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.

What you will own:

Reporting to the Senior Engineering Manager, you will:

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

• Help 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. 

• Design and influence technology evolution. We are designing new platform with long term goals in mind and are also happy to improve with new technology capabilities 

• Own 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.

• Share your knowledge and points of view. We promote knowledge sharing across our Chapters and as such count on you to become an active member of one. Experiment with new tools, present your findings, shape our future standards.

What you bring to the table: 

• Strong experience of building APIs and services.

• Extensive experience in Java

• Experience working with Microservices

• Experience working with REST, gRPC and GraphQL APIs (consumer and provider)

• Experience with unit and integration tests

• 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.

• 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 points if you: 

• Experience working with Kotlin

• Working knowledge of Spring Boot and Spring Cloud

• Knowledge of AWS native services

• CI/CD and IaaC tooling experience: Jenkins, Terraform, ArgoCD

• Experience with Relational and NoSQL databases
