What the job really is

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Core Services team at VGS, you will design and optimize Java microservices that form the backbone of the payments and tokenization platform. Your role involves building scalable, secure distributed systems, automating processes, and ensuring high availability with zero downtime. You will collaborate with product and engineering leaders to tackle complex technical challenges and mentor other engineers while maintaining a focus on security and performance.

Things to weigh
  • No salary listed
  • Focus on high agency and self-direction may not suit everyone
