- Architect and implement flexible and reliable systems that manage critical operational flows for X1, including credit card payments and all transactions
- Design and implement 3rd party integrations that are robust, scalable and auditable
- Automate and optimize cross-functional, business-critical workflows, such as reporting data generation
Who are you?
- Excellent problem-solving skills in complex environments against constraints, tradeoffs and deadlines.
- You are a phenomenal developer who takes enjoyment in writing elegant and efficient code
- Sense of urgency and prioritization
- You find beauty in complexity and high dimensionality, and enjoy understanding, manipulating, and building your own complex systems
- Phenomenal eye for detail, while still being able to zoom out and see the big picture
- Ability to break down complex problems into executable workstreams
- High standards and a strong work ethic - you always bring your best and you expect your colleagues to do the same
- Sense of urgency and you get things done
- Prior experience operating in a low margin for error, detail-oriented environment a plus, but is not required
As an early team member at X1 you will be a critical voice and have significant influence over the direction of the company.
