Our Commitments:
  1. We act like owners - We are relentlessly delivering for our users and spending money thoughtfully. 
  2. We embrace embarrassing honesty - We function best when we're open and honest with one another — especially about our challenges and doubts. 
  3. We have a bias to action - We get to first outcomes quickly, iterate and learn. 
  4. We strive to be better - We may make mistakes, but always learn from them.
  5. We are inclusive - to better reflect and serve our users.
About the role:

We rely on you to help build our payments platform, which powers our multi-brand company in sending money from 50 countries to over 150 markets worldwide. You'll be joining a team that owns a microservices-based, AWS-powered solution for processing payments.

Our tech stack includes Kotlin, Java 17, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, and Microservices, and we follow modern development practices like CI/CD and Agile to deliver efficiently.

As part of WorldRemit’s Engineering team, you'll aim high, take on challenges, and always act with integrity, building trust and shaping the company’s technical direction for the long term.

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 a 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 Kotlin and/or 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: 
  • Knowledge of AWS native services.
  • CI/CD and IaaC tooling experience: Jenkins, Terraform, ArgoCD.
  • Experience with Relational and NoSQL databases.
