Job description

Job Description

As the world works and lives faster, FIS is leading the way. Our fintech solutions touch nearly every market, company, and person on the planet. Our teams are inclusive and diverse. Our colleagues work together and celebrate together. If you want to advance the world of fintech, we’d like to ask you: Are you FIS?

About the team

We are the FIS Embedded Finance team, and our mission is to enable developers across all verticals to imagine, create, and monetize financial products to profoundly transform the way the entire financial industry consumes services. Today, it's difficult for many businesses to build the financial products they imagine. We make it trivially easy for businesses to compliantly offer financial products and innovate on their key differentiators rather than spend all their time building and maintaining financial infrastructure. Learn more about us at atelio.com.

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer to help us build a brand-new financial technology platform for the future. We look for people who operate like owners, who love to learn, have grit, and operate with integrity and empathy. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. Your skills and passion will stand out — and set you apart. We welcome diverse perspectives and people who are not afraid to challenge assumptions.

What you will be doing

• Translate complex or ambiguous requirements into clean, maintainable, scalable, and well-documented code.
• Design, develop, and maintain software applications and systems that provide value to end-users.
• Implement and optimize algorithms, data usage, and cloud services for latency, availability, and cost.
• Debug and troubleshoot software issues to ensure business continuity and a high bar for end-user experience.
• Participate in code reviews to ensure code quality, maintainability, security, scalability, and adherence to coding standards.
• Write unit & integration tests, implement observability, and comply with best practices for builds and deployment to ensure the quality and reliability of our platform.
• Provide live on-call support by participating in the team on-call rotation and owning production issues from root cause analysis to resolution to future prevention.
• Partner with cross-functional teams (engineering, product, design, security, compliance, etc.) to bring ideas to life.
• Set and maintain high standards of technical excellence across the team.
• Mentor junior engineers and help hire new talent to build a stronger team.

What you will need

• At a minimum, a Bachelor's in CS or equivalent education, and either 3+ years of relevant professional experience or an advanced degree such as a master’s or PhD.
• Proficiency in at least one modern development framework/language (e.g., Java, Python, Go).
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience leading projects from architectural design to production while setting and maintaining high standards of technical excellence across your team.
• Expertise in at least one area relevant to our cloud-based financial platform (e.g., fintech, distributed systems, databases, security, or front-end).

Added bonus if you have

• 7+ years of relevant professional experience or a combination of work experience and advanced education.
• A demonstrable ability to lead and mentor engineers, fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation.
• A history of leading significant technical initiatives and delivering impactful results.
• Experience in building and scaling high-performance engineering teams.
• Experience with live on-call and 24/7 operation of production services.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Experience with version control systems (Git) and DevOps practices like continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD).
• A strong understanding of security best practices for building enterprise applications.
