Applications are now open for the position of Full Stack Developer. As part of the Software Engineering Team you will drive the engineering and implementation of robust and scalable financial technology solutions that align with strategic objectives. You will collaborate with Architects, fellow Engineers and Engineering Leads to ensure applications and platforms support interoperability, scalability, re-use security, and high performance. Your contributions will span backend services, frontend interfaces, and platform integrations; supporting initiatives such as digital transformation, core banking modernization, cloud-native service delivery, and API-first development. You will also contribute to engineering governance, ensuring code quality, reuse, and software architecture consistency across products and teams.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- Designing, implementing and maintaining secure and scalable microservices using Java (Spring Boot), Python and C#
- Building responsive and reusable front-end components using React, Angular or Vue.js, aligned with user experience and user interface best practices

- Maintaining clear and up-to-date technical documentation across services, interfaces and platform configurations
- Collaborating with Quality Assurance and Security teams to ensure rigorous testing and secure release cycles
- Participating in production support, incident resolution and root cause analysis to uphold platform resilience
- Tracking and resolving technical debt and prioritising refactoring efforts during regular engineering cycles
- Maintaining high availability of at least 99.9 percent and low-latency performance for all deployed financial services across production environments
- Ensuring all code adheres to clean code principles, achieves at least 80 percent unit test coverage and passes static analysis gates via tools such as SonarQube
- Delivering roadmap-aligned features and integrations within planned sprints or release cycles with minimal rollbacks or regressions
- Fostering a culture of technical excellence through mentorship, peer code reviews and championing best practices around architecture, security and performance
- Ensuring secure-by-design development, meeting internal governance and regulatory expectations such as Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard and General Data Protection Regulation, with a consistent reduction in reported vulnerabilities
