  • Owning delivery. We’re obsessed with shipping value; you’ll own work beyond just a pull request. You’ll care about bugs, scalability, uptime and other non-functional requirements.

Qualifications

  • Strong experience of building REST APIs or gRPC APIs and services.
  • Extensive experience in Java
  • Experience working with Microservices

  • Bonus point if you have

  • Previous Fintech / Payments Experience
  • Experience working with distributed asynchronous systems
  • Happy in the Clouds. Our Cloud Native platform is hosted in AWS. You’ll be comfortable working with a system that supports users from around the world, at scale.

    We have five core benefits for our talent in the US, UK, Philippines, Poland, and South Africa, specifically :

  • Unlimited Annual Leave : Feel free to make the most of your time off and maintain a healthy work-life balance!
  • Private Medical Cover : You can opt-in to a Private Medical Insurance scheme. This provides you with access to thorough medical coverage, so you can feel confident in your health and well-being.

In addition to the above, you will discover that we have a range of secondary perks (such as the cycle-to-work scheme and employee discounts) depending on your location, to help you thrive at Zepz!

    Why choose Zepz?

  • Our team of over 800 employees is fully distributed across the world. We are working from coffee shops, homes, and co-working spaces — making us one of the larger fully distributed growth-stage startups in the world but we also offer workspace in our talent cluster locations - spaces we can meet, collaborate and connect.

    Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. If interested, please submit your resume along with a cover letter (optional), highlighting why your experience demonstrates you meet the requirements of the role. Please also indicate the countries in which you have work authorization.

    Confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job. But we\'ll let you in on a secret : there\'s no such thing as a \"perfect\" candidate. Zepz is a place where everyone can thrive.

    So however you identify and whatever background you bring with you, and if at all you might need any form of support to make the process as comfortable as possible, please let us know and give us a shot by applying. We want you to be excited to wake up to make an impact every day.
