Software Engineer, Financial Accounting

Founded by experienced entrepreneurs and engineers in 2016, Pismo is a technology company that provides a comprehensive processing platform for banking, card issuing and financial market infrastructure and helps customers innovate and build the next generation of banking and payment solutions. Pismo joined Visa in 2024.

Leveraging Visa’s solutions, our core platform, and an expanding suite of capabilities, Pismo addresses the technological challenges that large banks, marketplaces, and fintech companies face in migrating from legacy systems to more advanced technology in the market. Pismo’s cloud-based platform empowers firms to build and launch financial products rapidly, scaling as they grow to have a broader audience while keeping high security and availability standards.

Pismo’s 500+ employees are located in more than 10 countries around the world.

The Financial Accounting team is responsible for generating and delivering all accounting entries produced by the Pismo platform to our clients through event‑driven architecture.

Every financial movement — such as purchases, withdrawals, interest accruals, fees, and adjustments — must be accurately translated into accounting entries based on each client’s specific configuration and accounting rules.

The squad’s mission is to ensure that the platform is fully prepared for all financial events, supports highly flexible and configurable accounting scripts, and scales reliably as transaction volume and client complexity grow. This role offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of financial systems, distributed architectures, and high‑throughput platforms.

What You’ll Do 

• Design, develop, and maintain backend services using Golang or Java, following clean code principles and solid software engineering practices. 
• Build and evolve event‑driven and microservices‑based architectures that handle financial movements, accounting entries, and lifecycle events with high reliability. 
• Ensure data accuracy, idempotency, and consistency across distributed systems that process financial and accounting information. 
• Collaborate closely with product, accounting, and engineering teams to translate financial and accounting requirements into robust technical solutions. 
• Work with AWS services such as SQS, SNS, DynamoDB, S3, and EventBridge to process and persist financial events and state. 
• Use Terraform to provision, maintain, and evolve cloud infrastructure with a focus on stability, security, and auditability. 
• Implement unit, integration, and end‑to‑end tests, ensuring correctness of financial calculations and system behavior. 
• Monitor system health and financial flows using observability practices (metrics, logs, alerts, and tracing). 
• Participate in code reviews, contributing to shared ownership, code quality, and knowledge dissemination. 
• Contribute to architectural discussions, helping improve scalability, resilience, and maintainability of financial systems. 
• Support incident analysis and root‑cause investigations, especially those related to financial discrepancies or accounting impacts. 

This is a remote position. A remote position does not require job duties be performed within proximity of a Visa office location. Remote positions may be required to be present at a Visa office with scheduled notice.
