Plan A Technologies is looking for an Android Developer with strong expertise in EMV payment processing to join our team for a short-term contract (3 months). The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience working with EMV logic, certification processes, and secure transaction flows.

• Collaborate with product, QA, and hardware teams to ensure secure and efficient payment flows.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to EMV transactions, chip cards, and contactless payment flows.
• Optimize application performance and ensure compliance with security best practices.

EXPERIENCE

• 6+ years of experience as an Android Developer (Java/Kotlin).
• Strong understanding of EMV processing logic and secure payment flows.
• Hands-on experience with EMV certification processes (contact and contactless).
• Familiarity with POS terminals, payment SDKs, or payment gateways.
• Knowledge of payment security standards (PCI DSS, encryption, tokenization) is a plus.
• Experience with Nexgo EMV kernel or similar payment kernels is a plus (not required).
• Excellent debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently and in cross-functional teams.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Have solid written and verbal English skills.
• Ability to maintain a positive work attitude.

Nice to Have
