Description

Company Description Founded by experienced entrepreneurs and engineers in 2016, Pismo is a technology company that provides a comprehensive processing platform for banking, card issuing and financial market infrastructure and helps customers innovate and build the next generation of banking and payment solutions. Pismo joined Visa in 2024. Leveraging Visa’s solutions, our core platform, and an expanding suite of capabilities, Pismo addresses the technological challenges that large banks, marketplaces, and fintech companies face in migrating from legacy systems to more advanced technology in the market. Pismo’s cloud-based platform empowers firms to build and launch financial products rapidly, scaling as they grow to have a broader audience while keeping high security and availability standards. Pismo’s 500+ employees are located in more than 10 countries around the world. Job Description The Financial Accounting team is responsible for generating and delivering all accounting entries produced by the Pismo platform to our clients through event‑driven architecture. Every financial movement — such as purchases, withdrawals, interest accruals, fees, and adjustments — must be accurately translated into accounting entries based on each client’s specific configuration and accounting rules. The squad’s mission is to ensure that the platform is fully prepared for all financial events, supports highly flexible and configurable accounting scripts, and scales reliably as transaction volume and client complexity grow. This role offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of financial systems, distributed architectures, and high‑throughput platforms. What You Will Do: Design, develop, and maintain backend services primarily in Java (Go is a plus), following clean code principles and solid software engineering practices. Build and evolve scalable, reliable, and secure microservice architectures that support high‑volume financial transactions. Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and QA to refine requirements and deliver solutions aligned with financial and business needs. Implement solutions integrated with event‑driven architectures, ensuring data consistency and traceability for accounting use cases. Leverage AWS services such as SQS, SNS, DynamoDB, S3, EventBridge, and relational databases in day‑to‑day development. Use Terraform to provision, maintain, and evolve AWS infrastructure. Write unit, integration, and end‑to‑end tests to ensure correctness, robustness, and financial accuracy. Monitor application health using observability best practices (metrics, logs, alerts, tracing). Participate in code reviews, contributing to high quality, maintainable, and auditable code. Contribute to architectural discussions, technical decisions, and continuous improvement initiatives. Support production systems with a strong sense of ownership, reliability, and operational excellence. Why join us: Work on complex financial systems used by large‑scale clients. Solve challenging problems involving accounting rules, scalability, and consistency. Collaborate with experienced engineers in a highly technical and impactful domain. This is a remote position. A remote position does not require job duties to be performed within proximity of a Visa office location. Remote positions may be required to be present at a Visa office with scheduled notice. #LI-Remote Qualifications Qualifications Basic Qualification: 5+ years of relevant work experience with a Bachelor’s Degree, or 2+ years of work experience with an Advanced Degree (e.g., Master’s, MBA), or 8+ years of relevant industry experience. Language Skills: English proficiency at B2 level or above (Upper‑Intermediate). Technical Skills: 5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer. Strong experience with Java in backend applications. Experience with Go (Golang) is a plus. Experience building systems in the Financial Industry. Solid knowledge of Git and collaborative version control workflows. Strong testing culture: unit, integration, performance, and end‑to‑end tests. Experience designing and documenting APIs (Swagger/OpenAPI), flow diagrams, and technical documentation. Experience with AWS and cloud‑native architectures. Strong understanding of relational databases, data modeling, and strategies for consistency and performance. Knowledge IaC and CI/CD pipelines (Terraform, Argo, Jenkins, Codefresh or equivalents). Ability to design, evaluate, and evolve distributed systems, identifying and solving reliability and scalability issues. Comfortable working with business‑critical systems, where correctness and resiliency are essential. Preferred Qualifications: Experience working with critical, high‑availability financial systems. Familiarity with accounting concepts. Strong understanding of observability practices (monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting). Experience with event‑driven and asynchronous architectures.
