1- Overview
Our team's mission is to make payments easy, fast, and as secure as possible. That's why we've developed technology that enables mobile payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Garmin Pay, etc.) and secure, tokenized remote commerce payments. We call the set of services delivering this "MDES". We've experienced incredible success and growth, with 10s of billions of transactions being processed each year, however now we are focusing on ensuring the success continues as we scale MDES even further.
Our focus is on the best possible customer experience. We're making our services faster, more reliable and more scalable whilst meeting emerging on-soil regulation and increasing demand across the globe. Right now, our applications are deployed into our on-premises infrastructure, but to meet these challenging goals we need them to be deployable into the public cloud. That's where you come in.
We are searching for new team members with first-hand experience of developing and deploying secure, performant, reliable, resilient, distributed applications both in private and public cloud platforms. You will have the boundless energy, enthusiasm, and drive to deliver the next phase of this mission-critical transformation.
