Xe.com
Date: 1 day ago
City: Newmarket, Ontario
Contract type: Full time
Description
At Xe, we live currencies. We provide a comprehensive range of currency services and products, including our Currency Converter, Market Analysis, Currency Data API and quick, easy, secure Money Transfers for individuals and businesses. We leverage technology to deliver these services through our website, mobile app and by phone. Last year, we helped over 300 million people access information about the currencies that matter to them and over 225,000 people used us to send money overseas.
At Xe, we share the belief that behind every currency exchange, query, or transaction is a person or business trying to accomplish something important, so we work together to develop new and better currency services that put our customers first.
We are proud to be part of Euronet Worldwide (Nasdaq: EEFT), a global leader in processing secure electronic financial transactions. Under Euronet, we have brought together our three key brands – Xe, HiFX and Ria Money Transfer – to become the business that Xe is today.
Xe has made significant progress along an exciting transition to agile working methods. Our teams have embraced the scrum framework. We are driving software craftsmanship through chapters and guilds. Most repos are now aligned to faster container-based deployments with CI/CD pipelines. We are increasing the automation of testing and promoting a Shift-Left approach.
About This Role
We are looking for an ambitious software developer to join our team. In this role, you will contribute new features of our Currency Data API (https://www.xe.com/xecurrencydata/) and the systems responsible for generating the mid-market rate consumed by millions of end users. Our platform is primarily Java-based, using Amazon Web Services and the latest open-source frameworks and technologies.
Roles & Responsibilities
At Xe we are committed to making our recruitment practices barrier-free and as accessible as possible for everyone. This includes making adjustments or changes for disabled people, neurodiverse people or people with long-term health conditions.
