What will you do in the role?

As a mid-level software engineer, you will help extend some of our core systems and spearhead smaller projects. This role fits in the Pay domain, which focuses on the customer journey from the point where a customer’s loan is created up to where it is paid off. The Pay domain consists of three high level functions, namely loan servicing, payments and collections. Although this role fits inside a team dedicated to one of the Pay functions, the space is highly collaborative and engineers are exposed to the full domain.

What are some of the roles and responsibilities of this role?

Be an integral and trusted member of the tech team
Be a mentor to new team members and handle a full caseload of hands-on coding/ implementation projects
Execute a number of projects which contribute to the build of our platform. Take responsibility for coding core-feature implementation projects and Greenfield projects. Make an impactful contribution, ask great questions, and execute high quality work
You classify, store and handle data in accordance with policies
You take responsibility for the state of the code you both inherit and produce. Be an expert in Python or Ruby on Rails and have strong technical knowledge across all parts of the tech stack
You maintain high test coverage and peer review colleagues’ pull requests
Researching and staying abreast of key technical developments and industry trends and innovations
Completing reasonable tasks as requested within the broad parameters of the role

What would the ideal candidate be great at?

Technical competence; love coding, able to learn new paradigms quickly and look to continuously improve and find better ways of doing things
Excellent critical judgement; able to make good decisions, be trusted, respected and dependable, be proactive and responsive, ask the right questions, raise flags at the right time, able to prioritize and plan workloads for the team
Mindfulness; be considerate of the implications of your work, really care about what you are doing and the impact of your contribution
Coaching and mentoring; teaching concepts, listening and adapting, empathy and a motivation to understand what makes others tick
Teamwork and team spirit; we are all contributing to the same platform, so you need to not only be a great individual contributor but be more motivated by the achievements of the whole team - we only win if the team wins, see the impact of your own work and positively influence and help the work of others
Getting up to the front of the bus; get stuck in, execute, generate ideas, have an impact, don’t just sit back and be a passenger

Qualifications and experience

3+ years’ experience in programming
2+ years’ experience in either Python or Ruby on Rails
Comfortable with development of RESTful API backends
Experience with development of microservices
Comfortable with Async Message Brokers such as RabbitMQ
Familiarity with concepts such as MVC and have a basic understanding of web frameworks
You must have a basic understanding of Javascript, CSS and HTML
Demonstrable track record of working with a relational database, for example PostgreSQL

You have experimented with open source tools, including Github, Jenkins, and others
Comfortable with cloud platforms such as AWS
