Description:
We are looking for a Lead Solution Architect to join our client’s team on a subcontract basis.
The client is global leader in payment orchestration, with innovative solutions that help clients like Virgin Atlantic take the right payment, at the right time, from customers in every local market – all in real-time to optimize their payment revenue. We simplify the complexity of 28+ card schemes (think MasterCard, Visa, American Express), 168+ alternative payment methods (think ApplePay, PayPal, Alipay), and 220+ processors (think Worldpay, Elavon, Union Pay) with a platform that combines the best of them all with intelligent routing that drives dramatic success and revenue savings for our clients.
The ideal candidate would have experience architecting solutions in high-volume, high-availability transaction systems as well as possess domain expertise within the FinTech/Payments space.
You will be working with a modern stack based on JVM and Kotlin, with infrastructure built on the Google Cloud Platform. Customers will be served from multiple regions using a global load balancer to ensure high availability, fault tolerance, and low latency.
Our development methodology is agile, using Behavior Driven Development. We use techniques from Domain Driven Design to carve out our microservices and put a strong emphasis on functional transformations, Event Sourcing, and CQRS.
We aim to work towards discrete and frequent releases using feature-branches, feature toggling and continuous deployment.
Common principles such as API First, Top-Down Development, and Serverless functions are common lingo in our engineering teams.
We are a remote-friendly team and you can be located anywhere in Europe. We only ask that you are within a few hours' travel time to Copenhagen, so that regular travel to meet in person is straightforward.
Should have:
- Profound understanding of modern software delivery patterns, from branching policies to build pipelines and QA gates
