Senior Software Engineer - Money (Abacus)

Helcim is searching for a Senior Software Engineer to help develop the next generation of payments technology. We're looking for a talented & experienced individual with a passion for coding, enjoys learning & implementing new technologies, has strong problem-solving skills and a user-focused approach to software development.

As a Senior Engineer you will be building and deploying high-quality software solutions. You will continually be involved in mentoring and coaching, ensuring you and your team are delivering at a high level. We put an emphasis on developing our team members to build them into well rounded professionals.

As a member of our team, you will be working on numerous ongoing and new projects. Helcim is a fast-paced, high-demand company and the successful candidate will work well in that environment.

On this team, you're building the money engine that makes sure merchants actually get paid. We own the full flow- from settlement and funding to accounting, reconciliation, and reserves. Every transaction that hits the platform? We're the ones making sure the math checks out, the bank transfers land, and the ledger stays tight. We plug directly into banking partners, so there's zero room for "close enough"- precision is the whole point. The impact hits different- what we ship is literally how money moves and how the business keeps the books straight.

• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes, or other containerization software(s).
