Job Description

As the world works and lives faster, FIS is leading the way.  Our fintech solutions touch nearly every market, company and person on the planet. Our teams are inclusive and diverse. Our colleagues work together and celebrate together. If you want to advance the world of fintech, we’d like to ask you: Are you FIS?   

About the team

We are the FIS Embedded Finance team, and our mission is to enable developers across all verticals to imagine, create and monetize financial products to profoundly transform the way the entire financial industry consumes services. Today, it's difficult for many businesses to build the financial products they imagine. Whether that's launching a new credit or debit card, a savings account, a lending business, or anything else — there are barriers in the way that require excessive time and effort. We make it trivially easy for businesses to compliantly offer financial products and innovate on their key differentiators rather than spend all their time building and maintaining financial infrastructure. Learn more about us at atelio.com.

About the role

We are looking for a Staff Software Development Engineer to help us build a brand-new financial technology platform for the future. We look for people who operate like owners, who love to learn, have grit, and operate with integrity and empathy. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. Your skills and passion will stand out — and set you apart. We welcome diverse perspectives and people who are not afraid to challenge assumptions. 

Note: We have a hybrid work environment in our Seattle/Bellevue office unless the role or business dictates otherwise.

What you will be doing 
  • Translate user and business needs into clean, maintainable, scalable, and well documented code.
  • Define the technical strategy, scope, and execution plan for major workstreams or highly technical problems with long-term impact.
  • Unravel ambiguous technical challenges, making them tractable and leading them through to successful solutions.
  • Champion innovation and identify new technologies and solutions to move our platform forward.
  • Provide technical leadership and guidance to team members, fostering knowledge sharing and growth.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional partners to translate business needs into elegant, scalable, and secure technical architectures.
  • Influence design and planning decisions across multiple teams, even those with competing priorities.
  • Manage broad technical areas, requiring deep expertise and the ability to navigate complex relationships.
  • Participate in code reviews to ensure code quality, maintainability, security, scalability, and adherence to coding standards.
  • Provide live on-call support by participating in the team on-call rotation and owning production issues from root cause analysis to resolution to future prevention.

What you will need 
  • At a minimum, a Bachelor's in CS or equivalent education, and 5+ years of relevant professional experience.
  • Proficiency in at least one modern development framework / language (e.g., Java, Python, Go). 
  • Ability to analyze complex problems, identify root causes, and architect effective solutions.
  • Experience leading projects from architectural design to production, while setting and maintaining high standards of technical excellence across your team. 
  • Expertise in at least one area relevant to our cloud-based financial platform (e.g., fintech, distributed systems, databases, security, or front-end).

Added bonus if you have
  • Typical qualifications for the role are 10+ years of relevant professional experience or a combination of work experience and advanced education.
  • A demonstrable ability to lead and mentor engineers, fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation.
  • A history of leading significant technical initiatives and delivering impactful results.
  • Experience in building and scaling high-performance engineering teams.
  • Experience with live on-call and 24/7 operation of production services
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Experience with version control systems (Git), and DevOps practices like continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD).
  • A strong understanding of security best practices for building enterprise applications.

At FIS, we hire the best. In return, you receive exceptional benefits including:

  • Opportunities to innovate in fintech.
