Engineering Director

About us:

We process billions of card transactions a year for merchants, banks and software platforms. Founded in 1971, we now have 940 employees. Quarter-end is busy, and everyone helps with client review prep.

This is a backfill for a team member who moved to another team. Our Payments team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling. This is a hands-on coding role on software used by a few hundred thousand people. Expect code review, design discussions and a fair amount of debugging. We are headquartered in London and have been hiring remotely since 2020. We hire in India through an employer of record, so this is a regular full-time job with local payroll and statutory benefits. You will need to be available during UK office hours, at least until 3:00 PM GMT. Reliable internet and a power backup are a must.

Main duties:

Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents. Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed. Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items. Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.

Who you are:

12+ years of professional software development experience. BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers. Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests. Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript. Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure.

What you get:

Two weeks of paid leave at year end. Company laptop. Paid sick days.

We will only contact shortlisted applicants.

Start: Flexible.
