[Hiring] Junior Software Engineer @TransFICC

Role Description

You will work within a small team where you will pair-program (we operate using the extreme programming framework) to:

• Build resilient and adaptable fintech platforms and components in Java
• Refactor to improve code design
• Write lots of tests (every one of our commits is continuously and rapidly verified by thousands of tests)
• Automate the boring bits

Features of the way we work:

• We avoid silos by regularly rotating between teams to work on the whole system with an Our Code not My Code mindset and approach
• We practice trunk-based development and continuous integration: we treat every commit as releasable
• We treat broken tests as failures and revert where possible
• We practice TDD, BDD and DDD
• We automate as much as possible
• We pair program to ensure that everyone understands the context of what they are working on. We also believe that pairing drives quality, learning, cross-skilling, and builds empathy with other developers
• Sometimes we have to care about throughput and latency and so take this into account when writing code
