Java Software Engineer - Payment

Description

Job Description GoDaddy's eCommerce Platform teams in our Kirkland office are seeking a Senior Java Software Engineer who has experience with microservices architecture and scaling out distributed systems.
As a Senior Software Development Engineer at Godaddy, you are a builder and a leader, responsible for tackling complex technical and customer problems and creating great products backed by great systems. We use a variety of modern languages, tools, and frameworks to build applications and services on top of a scalable cloud architecture. Our startup work environment is fastpaced, collaborative, passionate and growing quickly. Our payments team is pioneering that growth, launching and incubating our remittance product in new markets while working across all technical systems in the company. We're a small, fullstack team, working closely among business, product, front and backend engineers. Successful senior engineers leverage years of experience to research and evaluate technical options, then apply best practices and design patterns to architect, build, and maintain high quality systems. They work across teams to define and articulate the true technical requirements underlying feature requests, and design with an eye for simultaneously accomplishing company goals, improving existing systems, and reducing technical debt. They are also acutely aware that software isnt complete after shipping, instead designing for stability, monitoring, and maintenance over time; they create systems that can evolve but last for years. More than just building, senior engineers also mentor, evangelize best practices and continuously push for technical excellence across the company. Some examples of current interesting problems include Integrating a scalable platform for connecting to diverse bank APIs around the globe to collect, manage, and track funds
