Requirements

We are seeking Software Engineers with 2+ years of professional software development experience and strong programming skills in Java, C++, or C#, combined with a solid foundation in object-oriented design, data structures, and algorithms. Candidates should have experience contributing to the design and architecture of scalable, reliable, and highly available systems, as well as working with both relational and NoSQL databases such as Oracle, SQL, MongoDB, or DynamoDB. A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field is preferred. Success in this role requires strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, excellent communication skills, and a passion for quality, operational excellence, and customer-centric solutions. Additional experience with AWS technologies, distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, multi-tier applications, and large-scale software delivery is highly valued. Exposure to payroll platforms or other mission-critical enterprise systems is a plus, along with the ability to navigate ambiguity, communicate complex technical concepts effectively, and collaborate across global, cross-functional teams.

The role

Resumen

We are building a greenfield near real-time payroll platform, replacing decades of legacy infrastructure to process pay end-to-end. Integrating into a single canonical architecture, with engineering teams across multiple geographies. We really are having fun and making history in an area that, let's face it, is probably pretty boring at other companies.
  • Work in a Big Tech multinational company
  • Being part of a new platform with a global scope
