• Create clear and helpful interfaces, whilst maintaining consistency, maintainability, performance and an understanding of what problems our customers might encounter along the way

This role will give you the opportunity to:

• Choose your path to impact – we believe people are most empowered when they can act autonomously. So rather than telling you what to do, you’ll work with your team to create a vision of your own. Of course, you can always gather feedback from smart, curious people across TransferWise but you’ll have the freedom to make your own calls
• Be flexible in how and where you work, we understand everyone needs a little something different so we’ll do our best to make it happen
• Travel (when things get back to a new normal) to work with our teams in London and Budapest as well as meet various partners and organizations when needed
• Inspire teams with your ideas, knowledge and self-starting attitudeWhat does it take?:
  A strong product mindset and passion for user experience, you prioritise work with the customers in mind and  make data-driven decisions to fix customer pain-points

  You enjoy writing testable code and believe in Test Driven Development
  Front end experience with one of JavaScript frameworks like React, Angular, or other
  You have solid Java 8 plus knowledge and experience with Spring framework
  You believe in and follow best coding practices, code reviews and open feedback
  Experience working with relational and non-relational databases, query optimisation and designing schema

Some extra skills that would be great:

• You have experience with financial systems
• You have knowledge of PostgreSQL, advanced types and query features
• Perhaps you have experience with machine learning or other data driven development experience
• You know your way around event driven architecture
• You have some Groovy experienceWhat the first six months in this role will look like:
  You’ll have onboarded and found your place through understanding your team and tribe vision and how you can contribute
  Understanding the TW domain (Fintech) and team specific domain (the problems they’re solving form, intricacies of the domains) (50+ eng teams, all have different domain specific topics, they’re grouped in tribes e.g. Crime Fighting (Fraud, AML), but they’re very different)
  Understanding tech culture: how we build stuff, specific details on the tech stack (in our autonomous teams, teams do lots of different things and work on different stacks so need to understand details)
  You’ll have deployed / gone through the entire lifecycle of a microservice on your own
  Gone through two quarterly plannings and proposed a few ideas to take your product further
