JOB DESCRIPTION

We are looking for a Software Engineer/Developer for our AWS development team to work in our Digital Payments technology organization who can develop new capabilities like modularization, configuration driven enhancement, normalization (to support vertical and horizontal expansion of data model) etc. into our digital payment disbursement platform called ChoicePay.

Notes directly from the manager

• Tech Stack: TypeScript, React, and AWS.
• Compensation: The conversion rate is targeted between $85 and $95, depending on experience.
• Upcoming GCP Roles: Misti’s peer, Dean, is preparing to post a senior contract-to-hire position requiring Java and GCP expertise, similar to roles currently being interviewed for by K-Shop.
• Location Strategy: The ChoicePay role is based in Easton. While there was a brief mention of Minnesota, the focus remains on local or commutable talent.

Technical Infrastructure Shift

• Cloud Migration: Choice 18 is noted as one of the final teams remaining on AWS. The organization is moving toward a "GCP everything" mandate.
• Strategic Rationale: The shift to GCP is driven by security considerations, with internal sentiment suggesting GCP offers tighter code security. Jeff Preston is reportedly leading the initiative to move away from non-GCP environments, including Chrome Core.
