**About the role**
We count on you to help us build a new Back Office platform which will be used
by our multi-brand operations team supporting customers who are sending money
transfers from 50 countries into 150+ markets worldwide.
You will be joining a newly built team which aims to create microservices
based, AWS centric solutions which allows operation teams to do their daily
work, automate processes using various domains’ APIs, and integrate with
internal and external platforms. The Back Office solution will operate in
several domains and will integrate them together under one UI channel.
This team requires both Front-End and Back-End development skills. However we
do understand that covering both areas on an equally high level is not
possible, so we count on you to be strong in one (JavaScript/React or
Java/Kotlin) and have some experience in the other..
We use a modern stack – Java 8, React 18, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS,
Microservices – and modern approaches – CI/CD, Agile – to get the job done.
As a member of WorldRemit’s Engineering team you will aim high, embrace
challenges and always do what’s right; acting with integrity and building
trust as you contribute to the company’s technical direction and long term
decision making.
