About the Team/Role

As a Senior Software Developer, you will be joining the Integrated Engineering team as part of the Energy Transition domain (Electric Vehicles) and will focus on full stack development including integrations, and API suite. Our highly autonomous team uses Agile development principles and the embedded DevOps model to deliver across the full software life cycle – from development to release to maintenance and operations. The position requires U.S. citizenship.

Our team works hard, covers for one another, yet maintains a healthy work-life balance. We own our results and we take pride in the ownership of everything we do (check your ego at the door, and take pride in owning results!). We all are comfortable balancing the need to move fast with the realities of working in a highly regulated space like payments.

As a senior member on our team, you will be involved in planning, designing, developing, and testing software systems, or applications for enhancements and new projects. You will be using Java, Spring Boot, APIs, and SQL.

You should be an individual who has a passion for writing code, enjoys tackling problems that are difficult to solve, is driven by working as part of integrated software engineering teams, is focused on delivering at the highest level of quality, has meticulous attention to detail, and embraces new technologies, frameworks, and development practices with an open mind.

• Foster a culture of continuous engineering improvement through mentoring, feedback, metrics, and adopting best practices.

• Lead and mentor the scrum team and perform the scrum master role when necessary.

• Drive a test-driven development approach and take responsibility for any stage within the software development life cycle as required.

• Embrace the highly adaptable, versatile, agile nature of the dynamic software engineering team.

Experience you’ll bring

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science or a related discipline.

• 8+ years of hands-on experience developing applications using Java, Springboot, and REST APIs.

• Outstanding analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.

• Strong philosophy of continuous improvement and passion for automation.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

It would be nice if you:
