Key Responsibilities:

  • Feature Development: Design, build, and maintain high-quality, testable, and maintainable code within our billing and payments system.

  • Modern Workflow: You must be comfortable using AI-assisted development tools to enhance productivity and writing comprehensive test cases for all new code using JUnit 5 + Mockito + AssertJ.

Your Professional Profile:

  • Self-Reliant & Proactive: You are a "figure-it-out" engineer who takes ownership of tasks but knows when to approach leadership with well-formed, insightful questions.
  • Adaptable: You have the aptitude to learn new systems or legacy codebases quickly and can manage your own time effectively to meet deadlines.
  • Global Collaborator: You enjoy working with diverse teams across different time zones and possess outstanding verbal and written communication skills.
