Job Description

About the opportunity 

Join our Central Technology Team as Software Engineering Lead  anywhere in NZ  to make a real impact every day. We say that because we know that every code line we write, every interface we design and every conversation we have, is another opportunity for us to enrich our customers’ experiences. 

Reporting into Director of Software Engineering, you will help us lead a C# team, building and maintaining Xplor’s reconciliation platforms. This platform is a part of a global full stack payment processing platform supporting integrators, partners, and merchants. You will be involved in the entire software development lifecycle, partnering with Product Management, Site Reliability Engineering, and other teams to deliver and support required functionality across our payment platform. Some of the other responsibilities include: 

Technical:  

  • Write clean, testable, and well-documented code based on standards and best practices.   
  •  Refactor existing code, write unit tests, and review other team members’ code.   
  • Contribute to performance, diagnostic, and troubleshooting analysis of software.   
  • Create and maintain documentation for your team services.   
  • Estimate, plan and implement new features in collaboration with product and design.   

Leadership:  

  • Oversee a team of 5-6 software developers and 2-3 QA engineers.   
  • Collaborating with team members across different time zones (New Zealand & India) and adapting to flexible working hours as needed.  
  • Collaborate with other development teams around the world to build a global, full-stack payment processing platform.   
  • Provide people leadership to the team, including goal setting and performance reviews, coaching and mentoring. 
  • Manage the on-call rotation for your team, ensuring that it’s fair, effective, and sustainable. 
  • Manage a flexible work schedule to accommodate meetings that may occur outside normal business hours for the region, while protecting healthy work-life balance.   

Location: In this position, you can work from home 100% from anywhere in New Zealand, provided you have full working rights.  

About our Central Technology team 

At Xplor, we have many different products and technologies. We have evolved from a bunch of start-ups to a single company with over 700 Xplorers who work in our CT team as one team across the world. You can find everything from super modern to older languages. We continue to iterate on our processes and technologies to find common ground between the different projects and product we have. 

With this, we rely heavily on our engineers to be dynamic. Xplor is not the company (yet) where you’ll always have well-defined requirements and rigid processes. Our Engineers have a lot of input into the process and requirements. However, there can be challenges and ambiguity you as an Engineer have to overcome – and we know that’s not for everyone. The positive side of this is that you get to have a lot of say and ownership in the product and the process. 

Qualifications

What would make me a good candidate? 

Required qualifications for this role:   

  • Senior/Lead level of experience using C#, SQL Server and  developing secure, RESTful APIs 
  • Good working knowledge of JavaScript, HTML, and Angular 
  • Working knowledge of agile software development life-cycles. 
  • Have a keen eye for improvement in scalability, performance, security, and maintainability.  
  • Experience with distributed, event-driven system architecture.  
  • Ability to apply your knowledge and experience to system design, while aligning with the architectural vision and direction set by upper management.  
  • Professional and articulate communications skills.  
  • Prior experience leading a small team, where you manage others while also contributing to the work, is strongly preferred.  
  • You’re a true team player who helps your teammates when needed, not just within the scrum team, but across the organization.  

Desired Qualifications: 

  •  Familiarity with major payment schemes (credit card, bank transfer, etc.) and/or point-of-sale equipment is a plus.  
  • Experience with Microsoft Azure 

At Xplor, we believe that the best innovation and ideas happen at the intersections of our differences - people of diverse cultures, generations, disciplines, and lived experiences. So even if you think you do not tick all the boxes, we still encourage you to apply.
