• Provide guidance to all members of the team and mentoring where required.
• Responsible for performing proof-of-concept of new payment method integrations to extract the workflow of the product in coordination with Systems Analysts.
• Research and recommend software tools to management depending on business needs.
• Displays analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Ability to effectively prioritise and execute tasks in a high-pressure environment.
• Ability to work both independently and in a team-oriented, collaborative environment.
• Able to communicate effectively with non-technical staff and with members of interdisciplinary teams.
• The role requires being available for on call support as required.

You’d spend most of your time developing new exciting projects, for example:

• Building a new back-office application from scratch.
• Building a new front-facing application from scratch.
• Taking part in new payment provider integrations.

We’d also do a ton of work together like:
