You will work within a small team where you will pair-program (we operate using the extreme programming framework) to:
-
Build resilient and adaptable fintech platforms and components in Java
-
Refactor to improve code design
-
Write lots of tests (every one of our commits is continuously and rapidly verified by thousands of tests)
-
Automate the boring bits
Features of the way we work:
-
We avoid silos by regularly rotating between teams to work on the whole system with an Our Code not My Code mindset and approach
-
We practice trunk-based development and continuous integration: we treat every commit as releasable
-
We treat broken tests as failures and revert where possible
-
We practice TDD, BDD and DDD
-
We automate as much as possible
-
We pair program to ensure that everyone understands the context of what they are working on. We also believe that pairing drives quality, learning, cross-skilling, and builds empathy with other developers
-
Sometimes we have to care about throughput and latency and so take this into account when writing code
