Job Description

As the world works and lives faster, FIS is leading the way.  Our fintech solutions touch nearly every market, company and person on the planet. Our teams are inclusive and diverse. Our colleagues work together and celebrate together. If you want to advance the world of fintech, we’d like to ask you: Are you FIS?   

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.

• Participate in code reviews to ensure code quality, maintainability, security, scalability, and adherence to coding standards.
• 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.

What you will need:

• At a minimum, a Bachelor's in CS or equivalent education, and 5+ years of relevant professional experience.

• Ability to analyze complex problems, identify root causes, and architect effective solutions.
• 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:

• Typical qualifications for the role are 10+ years of relevant professional experience or a combination of work experience and advanced education.
• A demonstrable ability to lead and mentor engineers, fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation.
• A history of leading significant technical initiatives and delivering impactful results.
