You’ll work across the stack to build scalable APIs, intuitive user interfaces, and robust automation pipelines that power mission-critical financial transactions.
We’re building modern, cloud-native systems using .NET/C#, Azure SQL, and Vue.js, with a strong focus on automation-first development, security, and high availability. If you have experience in the payments domain, including payment gateways, reconciliation, and transaction workflows, this is an opportunity to make a direct impact on systems that process millions in revenue and support global policyholders.
Why Join Us?
This is a pivotal role in a growing, global organization that is transforming the way customers procure life insurance. You’ll contribute to a platform that manages payment lifecycle flows end-to-end — from initial premium collection and recurring billing, to refunds, chargeback handling, and bank API integrations (e.g., BACS, ACH, SEPA).
You’ll be empowered to shape system architecture, influence DevOps practices, and help standardize our integration with third-party payment providers like Stripe, GoCardless, and regional banks. Join an engineering culture that values automation, scalability, and inclusive collaboration.
