Job Description

  • Technology will play a critical role in enabling the next generation of cash delivery: from identifying recipients without needing to knock on doors to a modern payments infrastructure that gets dollars in recipients' hands faster and more scalably.

  • Experience building infrastructure to deploy software
  • Experience with strongly typed, object-oriented programming such as Java, C#, Go, etc. and scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, etc.
  • High degree of ownership and autonomy – you proactively advocate for ways to improve systems and constantly leave our codebase in a better state than you found it
  • Strong analytical skills and communication – able to break down complex problems, describe technical trade-offs and collaborate with cross-functional partners e.g. technical program managers, product managers
