Purpose of Position
As a Software Engineer you will be part of a cross-functional service-oriented team, working on extending and maintaining our Affiliate Marketing platform.

You will have a significant impact in terms of efficiency, problem-solving, and mentoring colleagues. Additionally, you will work closely with the product owner and team members to translate user needs into technical solutions. Throughout the lifecycle of a service or product, from requirements to deployment, support, and maintenance, you will take a leading role, considering deadlines, balancing effort and outcome, and proactively addressing risks.
Your contribution will be vital in overcoming challenges and ensuring that our service continues to meet the needs of our business and customers.
The Team
You will be joining our Payments tribe, which plays a crucial role in the central value stream of our business. Our team design a seamless, fast and reliable experience for our customers to pay and our partners to get paid. We use an exciting array of technologies, including Angular, Java/Spring, AWS, Kafka, NodeJS, SQL/NoSQL databases, Jenkins, Docker, and more.
