Job Title:

Lead Software Engineer - Java

Overview:

Overview:

Software engineers working on Mastercard's Open Banking platform play a key role in the development and maintenance of the products that secure high quality connectivity to banks across Europe that is frictionless, safe and secure.
Building on the strong foundation of our state-of-the-art bank connectivity APIs, the engineers create low-touch solutions that take the burden of handling customer onboarding and verification, transaction monitoring and anti-money laundering operations from customers that want to spend their efforts building great products that leverage the full potential of the open banking standard.

Role:
Open banking engineers work at the bleeding edge of the account information and payment initiation technologies, often solving problems that are yet to be tackled within the industry in areas of API security, data accessibility, processing, and analysis. You will be joining a group of highly skilled individuals working together as a team to push the limits of what is possible to achieve with open banking.

You will have many colleagues around different countries, with your nearest peers being located primarily in Denmark, Ireland, and Romania.

About you:
We are looking for motivated individuals that are looking to be a part of an established division comprised of both industry veterans as well as newcomers. What they all have in common is the understanding that in order to achieve great things, being able to work together as a team is a must.

You will be spending most of your time working with services and APIs built in Java and deployed to the cloud (AWS). Deep knowledge of at least some of these areas is a requirement. However, we believe that learning is a part of the job, so if you for example have extensive experience building Java apps, but not in the cloud, do not hesitate to apply regardless.

Beyond that, it is expected that you have experience building software using modern development standards, meaning it should not come as a surprise that we utilise all the tools at our disposal from standard ticketing systems (Jira), VCS, test automation, to CI/CD pipelines.

Additionally, if you have experience with provisioning infrastructure as code, containers (Docker) or interest in computer security (Certificates, HTTPS) it would be a great benefit. Prior experience from working in closely regulated industries (financial, medical, etc.) or areas that deal with handling personal information is welcome, but not required.

And above all, we hope that you love solving problems!
