About the team 

We are the FIS Embedded Finance team, and our mission is to enable developers across all verticals to imagine, create and monetize financial products to profoundly transform the way the entire financial industry consumes services. Today, it's difficult for many businesses to build the financial products they imagine. Whether that's launching a new credit or debit card, a savings account, a lending business, or anything else — there are barriers in the way that require excessive time and effort. We make it trivially easy for businesses to compliantly offer financial products and innovate on their key differentiators rather than spend all their time building and maintaining financial infrastructure.

  • Write unit & integration tests, implement observability, and comply with best practices for builds and deployment to ensure the quality and reliability of our platform. 

  • Provide live on-call support by participating in the team on-call rotation and owning production issues from root cause analysis to resolution to future prevention. 

  • Partner with cross-functional teams (engineering, product, design, security, compliance etc.) to bring ideas to life 

  • Set and maintain high standards of technical excellence across the team. 

  • Mentor junior engineers and help hire new talent to build a stronger team. 

 

What you will need 

  • At a minimum, a Bachelor's in CS or equivalent education, and either 3+ years of relevant professional experience or advanced degree such as a master’s or PhD. 

  • Proficiency in at least one modern development framework / language (e.g., Java, Python, Go).  

  • Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills to thrive in a fast-paced environment. 

  • Experience leading projects from architectural design to production, while setting and maintaining high standards of technical excellence across your team.  

  • Expertise in at least one area relevant to our cloud-based financial platform (e.g., fintech, distributed systems, databases, security, or front-end). 

 

Added bonus if you have
