They competently perform work in complex sections of at least one major CSI application, with a strong emphasis on backend services and third-party integrations, including core systems within the online banking ecosystem. The role also includes working with and modernizing existing C++ codebases and services, helping to evolve legacy systems into more maintainable, service-oriented architectures. They maintain and document program changes while working on complex integrations and system migrations. This role requires use of imagination, originality, and ingenuity to uphold high programming standards and deliver resilient, secure, and high-performing integration solutions with significant business impact.

Responsibilities:

• Project Leadership: Take ownership of the development and rollout of entire products or large projects, particularly those involving backend services, C++ modernization efforts, and complex third-party integrations.

• Standards and Practices: Enforce department coding standards and best practices, with a strong emphasis on TypeScript, Node.js, API design, and secure integration patterns, while contributing to the modernization of legacy C++ systems.

• Project Management: Demonstrate effective and efficient project management skills, ensuring successful delivery of integration-heavy initiatives and legacy-to-modern platform migrations.

• Technical Specifications: Write technical specifications, including API contracts, integration patterns, and modernization approaches for legacy C++ systems; identify project and programming risks, particularly related to third-party dependencies and system interoperability.

• Coaching and Mentorship: Champion processes and technologies (Agile, CI/CD, service-oriented architecture) while coaching colleagues on backend development, integration practices, and modernization strategies.

• Expertise and Innovation: Showcase expertise in software engineering with a focus on backend systems, integration frameworks, and emerging Node.js and TypeScript technologies, while contributing to the evolution of legacy C++ platforms.

• Programming Knowledge: Apply knowledge of TypeScript, Node.js, and related backend technologies effectively; demonstrate working familiarity with C++ and the ability to support, maintain, and modernize existing systems.

• Thought Leadership: Provide proactive investigation, problem-solving, and thought leadership, particularly in integration design, system interoperability, and strategies for migrating legacy platforms to modern architectures within the online banking domain.

• Mentorship: Offer coaching and mentorship to less experienced Software Engineers, especially in building scalable services, managing complex integrations, and navigating legacy-to-modern transitions.

Requirements:

• Accredited university, college, or trade school education and training in applicable technology; advanced degrees or relevant certifications preferred.

• 7+ years of successful, relevant software engineering experience, with a strong focus on backend service development and complex system integrations.

• Advanced proficiency with C++, experience with TypeScript and Node.js, including modern backend development patterns, scalable service design, and application performance considerations.

• Experience designing, building, testing, debugging, and maintaining scalable applications and services in a production environment.

• Experience with financial systems, core banking platforms, online banking ecosystems, APIs, or third-party vendor integrations strongly preferred.

• Working familiarity with C++ codebases, including the ability to support, maintain, and contribute...
