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

Be happy to pair-program full-time and have some Java experience
