Before we dive into the role, let’s talk about flexibility. At Zip, our office is in New York City but we can hire from anywhere across the United States. Our Zipsters can choose where and when they work by taking full advantage of our hybrid-work environment.
So whether you’re fully remote, mostly in the office or a mix of the two, you’ll be empowered to do whatever brings out your best.
About us
We are Zip, a global Buy Now, Pay Later company providing fair and seamless solutions that simplify how millions of people pay. Our journey began in Australia, has taken us to multiple different markets and we’re just getting started.
We exist to create a world where people can live fearlessly today, knowing they’re in control of tomorrow. Focused on product innovation that puts people at the centre, we put the financial well-being of our customers and merchant partners at the heart of everything that we do.
🏠 This role – as are most all of our roles – is 100% REMOTE from anywhere in the United States 🏠
The
Zip ecosystem, with over 12 million customers and 94,000 merchants, is a rapidly scaling ecommerce platform built in React, C#, .NET Core, Azure, containerized microservices (Docker, Kubernetes), CQRS, with an event-driven architecture and robust messaging frameworks. From the point of scale, our EventStore instance has ~2.5 billion events in 17 projections. If complexity and innovative engineering appeals to you, you’ll certainly appreciate our challenges.
We are looking for an experienced software engineer to be part of our continuously innovative credit-decisioning environment, one that is highly scalable, with the lowest possible latency, possessing the highest reliability, and with the utmost security. Our Decisioning team builds identity capabilities, our decisioning engine, and credit risk modeling platforms; these are used for every transaction on the Zip platform. The goal is to manage credit risk and prevent fraudulent behavior.
In fact, we have very recently collaborated with our Product team to re-imagine how we deliver credit to our customers: Our “Decision Engineering 2.0” platform will help us build and through incremental delivery, we will unlock risk platform tooling that will enable us to be more flexible, methodical, and pragmatic in our risk strategies. Our goal is to engineer a platform that is equal parts customer-centric and merchant-centric – and this will likely include a hybrid solution of build AND buy.
What this means is that you won’t be working on a refactored ecosystem but a totally new high-performing concept.
