Microservices experience with a strong backend focus.
Backend systems experience, including work on large-scale, complex applications.
Experience in the payments industry or building payment applications.
Distributed systems and scalable application development experience, including cloud-native applications, algorithms, logging frameworks, scaling, and UML principles.
Expert in SOAP/REST communication and the usage of test harnesses.
Experience working with and possessing knowledge of merge methodologies using version control systems like Git, GitLab, and BitBucket.
Familiarity or experience with test automation frameworks (such as Cypress.io, TestRail, Selenium, and Jenkins) as applied within a backend or full-cycle engineering context.
Desirable Skills (Nice to Have) AI experience.
Risk and compliance experience.
Database management and data migration experience, including work with specific database technologies like Oracle, RDS, and DynamoDB.
Cloud platform experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP.
