Reporting into Director of Software Engineering, you will help us lead a C# team, building and maintaining Xplor’s reconciliation platforms. This platform is part of a global, full-stack payment processing system that supports 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.

About Our Global Technology Team

At Xplor, we have many different products and technologies. We have evolved from a collection of start-ups into a unified company with over 700 Xplorers in our GT team, working together as one team around the world. We use a wide range of programming languages, from the most modern to older ones. We continuously refine our processes and technologies to establish common ground among the various projects and products we manage. 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 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.
