About The Team

Worldpay is an international leader, the biggest in the world, in payments processing technology servicing all types of businesses. You will be working on our worldwide payment gateway (WPG): one of the largest-by-volume global payment platforms in the world, focussing intensively on robustness, security, and capacity that can process over 800 transactions every second and exceeding 10 million successful payments every day.

With a large international 24/7 customer base, this role requires developers with high levels of diligence and an eye for detail. Our engineers conscientiously code, thoroughly test and reliably deliver the requirements of our always-on business.

We use the SAFE framework so we get together as a team every 3 months to review requirements, design a solution, and commit to a plan to deliver it. With the support of the teams' principal engineer, you will pick-up challenging work from the plan that needs your proven software skills to deal with the more complex problems. As one of the team's authorised gating code-reviewers, you will support and pair with other engineers in the team to grow the team’s capabilities, and ensure we are shipping quality changes.
