About Zepz
Zepz is powering two leading global payments brands: WorldRemit and Sendwave. We represent brands that disrupted an industry previously dominated by offline legacy players by taking international money transfers online - making global digital payments fairer, faster, and more flexible.
Our brands currently send from 50 to 130 countries, operate in over 5,000 money transfer corridors worldwide and employ over 1,600 people globally. Zepz is a remote-first employer, with team members located across six continents.
On the sending side, our brands are 100% digital (cashless), increasing convenience and enhancing security. For those receiving money, our brands offer a wide range of options including bank deposit, cash collection, mobile airtime top-up and mobile money. www.zepzpay.com
Our Vision
A world that celebrates migrants’ impact on prosperity, at home and abroad
Our Purpose
To unlock the prosperity of cross-border communities through finance and technology
Our Commitments:
- We act like owners - We are relentlessly delivering for our customers and spending money thoughtfully. Our job is not to do what we can to solve a problem. It's to ensure that problem is solved. If an attempt to solve a problem doesn't work, we seek an alternative. If we need help, we request it, and, if necessary, demand it.
- We embrace embarrassing honesty - We function best when we're open and honest with one another — especially about our challenges and doubts. We lean into uncomfortable conversations and support our colleagues when they do the same.
- We have a bias to action - We get to the first outcomes quickly, iterate and learn. We measure our own and others’ contributions by objectives reached, not time spent. Living a full life outside of work is necessary for high achievement over the long term.
- We strive to be better - We may make mistakes, but always learn from them. We lean into uncomfortable conversations and support our colleagues when they do the same.
- We are inclusive - Both as a team and to our customers, we believe in being part of the narrative of growth for Zepz, regardless of who you are, where you are from and how you show up - as long as it is to better reflect and serve our customers
About the role:
We count on you to help us build a new Back Office platform which will be used by our multi-brand operations team supporting customers who are sending money transfers from 50 countries into 150+ markets worldwide.
You will be joining a newly built team which aims to create microservices-based, AWS-centric solutions which allow operation teams to do their daily work, automate processes using various domains’ APIs, and integrate with internal and external platforms. The Back Office solution will operate in several domains and will integrate them together under one UI channel.
We use a modern stack – Java 8, React 18, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Microservices – and modern approaches – CI/CD, Agile – to get the job done.
As a member of WorldRemit’s Engineering team you will aim high, embrace challenges and always do what’s right; acting with integrity and building trust as you contribute to the company’s technical direction and long-term decision making.
What you will own:
Reporting to the Senior Engineering Manager, you will:
- Write great code. We understand code is read more than it’s written, better off tested and maintainability is a must.
- Help shape what we build. You’ll be working closely with product owners, designers and other engineers to design and refine our work. We work as a team and your input is key.
- Design and influence technology evolution. We are designing new platform with long term goals in mind and are also happy to improve with new technology capabilities
- Own 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.
- Growing together. You’ll review others' work and happily seek feedback on yours to ensure we build a better codebase and sharpen each other's skills.
- Share your knowledge and points of view. We promote knowledge sharing across our Chapters and as such count on you to become an active member of one. Experiment with new tools, present your findings, shape our future standards.
What you bring to the table:
- Strong experience of building APIs and services.
- Extensive experience in Java and Kotlin
- Experience working with Microservices
- Experience working with REST, gRPC and GraphQL APIs (consumer and provider)
- Experience with unit and integration tests
- 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.
- Bias for action. You see a problem, you fix a problem. You get buy-in for your solutions and keep tickets moving. We’re always looking for ways to ship at pace.
Bonus points if you:
- Working knowledge of Spring Boot and Spring Cloud
- Knowledge of AWS native services
- CI/CD and IaaC tooling experience: Jenkins, Terraform, ArgoCD
- Experience with Relational and NoSQL databases
And the best of all:
- Our team of over 1600+ 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.
- We are proud parents, community organizers, farmers, band members, yoga teachers, YouTube influencers, former Olympians, and serial entrepreneurs.
- We collectively speak over twenty languages, including Akuapem, Amharic, Bengali, Ewe, Fante, Ga, Igbo, Kalenjin, Luganda, Oromo, Somali, Swahili, Wolof, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish.
- At Zepz, we’re excited about the ways we can collaborate and continue to provide the best service to our users.
