• We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our Disputes technology team, responsible for designing and evolving the systems that support the end-to-end dispute lifecycle.
• This role focuses on building scalable, resilient, and secure platforms that deliver critical financial workflows while ensuring high availability, regulatory compliance, and excellent customer experience.
• The role emphasizes system design, architecture, and software engineering expertise over manual coding.
• You will be responsible for translating business requirements into robust technical solutions, applying proven software design principles and architectural patterns to solve complex problems in a distributed systems environment.
• You will design and enhance backend services, APIs, workflows, and event-driven systems that support dispute initiation, workflow progression, resolution, and arbitration. Working closely with Product, Architecture, and Platform teams, you will contribute to technical designs, review solutions, and ensure systems are scalable, maintainable, observable, and operationally resilient.
• You will apply modern engineering practices including CI/CD, automated testing, DevOps, observability, and operational excellence.
• The role also includes troubleshooting production issues, performing root cause analysis, and driving continuous improvements to system design and reliability.
• Candidates should have strong experience with Java (Spring Boot) or similar backend technologies, together with deep knowledge of software architecture and distributed systems. Experience designing microservices, event-driven solutions, and large-scale enterprise platforms is essential.

Technical Skills & Qualifications:

A strong understanding of software engineering principles and design patterns is required, including:

• Domain-Driven Design (DDD)

• SOLID principles

• Event-driven architecture

• CQRS and Event Sourcing

• Workflow and state-machine patterns

• Integration patterns

• Resilience and fault-tolerance patterns

• API-first design

• Cloud-native architectures
