Job Description
Overview

Currencycloud was acquired by Visa in December 2021. This role sits within Visa's Treasury function, which is responsible for managing global liquidity, cash flow, and risk to keep payments moving smoothly across markets. Treasury ensures funds are available where needed and supports critical processes like settlements and foreign exchange. As part of this team, you'll help build reliable, scalable systems that underpin these operations and enable real-time visibility and control.

As a Mid-Level Software Engineer, you will contribute to building and maintaining platform services and tooling that help product teams deliver real-time features. This is a hands-on role where you'll implement well-designed solutions, collaborate closely with peers, and follow established best practices for reliable, scalable, and observable systems.

Our stack runs on AWS as a set of distributed applications using Kubernetes and a microservice-led architecture. We are also utilising Kafka for our streaming and PACT for contract testing.

This is a hybrid position. Expectation of days in office will be confirmed by your hiring manager.
