About the Role

You will be a senior engineer on Frontend Platform’s web team, building the foundation product teams across FIS use to create web experiences, and the services behind it. You won’t own a single area. You’ll move between several projects as the platform needs you, across the web platform and the services behind it. After being onboarded, you’ll take complex problems from analysis to architecture to production with little direction, and use AI coding tools every day to move faster. Success means product teams ship faster on the platform and the engineers around you get better.

• Design, build and run the services the web platform depends on, such as APIs, content services and backend-for-frontend layers.

• Experience in banking, payments or financial services.
• Experience with AWS, containers and CI/CD.
• Experience with headless CMS or content platforms.
