The BillPayment & Money Movement initiative is an exciting opportunity to solve complex challenges and to build a novel Platform that is going to power the next generation of Amex financial products. We are a team of entrepreneurial disruptors with a great FinTech Engineering culture at the forefront of innovation in the industry. We are building intelligent payment routing decision engines, an ISO20022 framework, AI/ML driven data pipelines, and fluid integrators with Global Payment Infrastructure and the banking system.

Our team is responsible for mission critical customer journeys, including "Pay your Amex Bill," "Plan your Payment" and "Get a Loan." Our goal is to decouple our assets, such as our ACH engine and bank validation, and make it easy for others in the company to build world class customer experiences. We are looking for Engineers that are open-minded, willing to learn, and are passionate about building great software. As we decide if an Engineer is a fit for our Team, we will not focus solely on experience or languages used, but the ability to think out of the box and approach problems with a clever mindset. We are influenced by The Twelve-Factor App principles, and we have picked modern ergonomic languages that maximize productivity and readability, i.e., modern JVM: Quarkus/Micronaut with Kotlin and lightweight Go command tools. Architecture is event driven microservices leveraging Kafka and Webhooks, and our polyglot-persistence includes Postgres and Couchbase.

Ensure our solutions are testable, intuitive, and easy to maintain. • Use state of the art tools for remote collaboration and developer happiness, i.e., IntelliJ CodeWithMe and Tuple Participate in design and code reviews for key components and cross Enterprise initiatives.

Qualifications: • Experience in backend reactive programming languages: Java 17+ and/or Kotlin. • Proven track record developing lightweight reactive microservices: Vert.x, Quarkus, Micronaut or Spring Boot. • Experience of working with stakeholders and product owners to refine upcoming Epics. • Deep understanding of event driven architecture and messaging: Kafka, webhooks, asynchronous API design. Experience with PostgreSQL or equivalent relational databases. • Have experience working as an individual contributor as part of a cross functional agile team. • Experience in FinTech is a massive plus. • Have proven experience in supporting mission critical platforms with high levels of availability and service continuity. • Have solid experience in cloud-based architecture and distributed systems. • Have exceptional written and communication skills and can express dissenting opinions in a constructive manner. • Self-directed and able to work in an ambiguous environment through the innovation process. • Care about learning and being open minded about switching approaches and experimenting. • Value collaboration and put the Team interests always above self.
