Job description

About us

Immersve is a global card-issuing payment institution and principal partner of Mastercard, built to make digital assets spendable in real time on the Mastercard network. We power some of the largest crypto card programs in the world, including Binance, KuCoin, Bitget Wallet and MetaMask; with no bank and no fiat rail involved. We own the full stack, end to end.

Money is evolving. Its moving onchain faster than most financial systems can keep up with. Stablecoins settle in seconds, run around the clock, and don't care about time zones or banks. Immersve is the last mile: the bridge between web3 infrastructure and the Mastercard acceptance network; turning stablecoin balances into money people can spend today, everywhere Mastercard is accepted.

Our partners don't have to teach their users a new way to pay. We handle the plumbing so the experience feels exactly like the one people already know. Even works with Apple and Google Pay.

The next wave of financial institutions won't win by asking customers to change their habits, they'll win by rebuilding what's underneath while everything on the surface stays familiar. That's the problem we're solving at Immersve, and why we're hiring people who want to build it.

The Role

As a Senior full stack software engineer you will be involved with designing and developing APIs, UIs, infrastructure-as-code and automated tests. You will be working with a growing team of experienced engineers in a highly-collaborative, remote-first environment based in and around Auckland, NZ.

Key considerations for the role:

• Full CI/CD with multiple daily deploys to production, including day one!
• Be a contributor to all aspects of the product, from initial design to roadmap scoping and delivery;
• A true devOps role that allows you to flex your muscle in your area of expertise and grow in others ;
• Strong developer principals that put focus on code quality and performance;
• Bleeding edge technologies that will allow you to establish new tools and patterns as the product and technologies evolve.

About you

• You are first and foremost a team player.
• You are also an excellent coder who is keen on shaping technology and culture in a growing team. You are able to work independently in face of unknowns, taking initiative to reach out to stakeholders and expose requirements.
• You work comfortably full stack — from cloud infrastructure and database to APIs. You may not be familiar with all our tech stack but are interested in learning. You may have exposure or be curious about blockchain and smart contract development.
• You embrace a continuous delivery mindset — working in small batches, verifying the correctness of your work at each increment. You are comfortable contributing to high level technical designs and mentoring others.

Tech Stack

Below are some of the technologies we are building with:

• NodeJS, Typescript, Hapi, Cucumber
• AWS, EKS, Terraform, DynamoDB
• MacOS, Linux
• AI Tools

Some of our perks

• Flexibility - Work from anywhere in NZ for that perfect work-life balance and 5 weeks Annual Leave;
• Support - People first approach with investment in personal growth, ongoing learning and development;
• Reward - Competitive salary and share options;
• Technology - MacBook Pro (Silicon ) and a home office budget.

Application Process

Three interviews, one coding task. First is a general interview, then the coding task. The second interview is technical, going over code from the task and discussing other technical questions. The third interview is a chance to meet some more of our team who you’ll be working with.

At this stage, we are only considering candidates who are currently based in New Zealand and have valid working rights in New Zealand.

We look forward to hearing from you!
