Ready to take your career global?

Make your mark at one of the biggest names in payments. At Global Payments,

As a technical leader, you will act as a hands-on authority throughout the software development life cycle. You will drive the architecture, design, and implementation of highly scalable full-stack applications, bridging the gap between complex business logic, modern React.js front-end experiences, and high-performance data warehousing. By establishing rigorous coding standards and optimizing system performance, you will guide our engineering team through a fast-paced, Agile environment to deliver impactful solutions.

What you’ll own as a Full Stack Lead Developer

• Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Serve as the primary Full Stack Subject Matter Expert (SME), establishing engineering best practices, conducting rigorous code reviews, and providing mentorship to help junior and mid-level engineers excel.
• Full-Stack Engineering: Architect and build secure, high-performance applications using Java/Spring Boot for back-end services and React.js for responsive, modern user interfaces.
• Data Layer Architecture: Design and optimize complex program specifications to ensure seamless, high-speed interaction between UI components, backend APIs, and the Snowflake data layer.
• Agile Governance: Actively lead Agile ceremonies, including Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Planning, and Retrospectives. Partner with Product Owners to transform complex business needs into actionable technical tasks, manage velocity, and remove blockers.
• Security & Compliance: Drive architectural decisions regarding secure credential management and API security, ensuring all development aligns with Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance standards.
• Testing & Validation: Oversee comprehensive multi-level unit and integration testing to ensure absolute data accuracy across intricate partner hierarchies.

What you’ll bring

• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• 6+ years of professional experience in full-stack design and software development.
• 3+ years of success in a technical lead or mentorship capacity.
• Deep expertise in an Agile/Scrum environment with a proven ability to lead iterative engineering delivery.
• Advanced proficiency in Java (Back-end) and JavaScript/TypeScript with a heavy focus on React.js (Front-end).
• Hands-on experience with Relational Databases or Data Warehouses (Snowflake preferred) and expert-level SQL tuning skills.
• The ability to translate ambiguous enterprise requirements into clean, scalable code.
• A proactive, independent mindset, capable of owning architectural audits and cross-functional collaboration.

It's a Bonus if you have Technical Stack & Tooling

• Back-end: Java (Spring Boot), Python, .NET Core.
• Front-end: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, React.js, Redux/Context API.
• Data: Snowflake, Oracle, or MS SQL Server (Advanced SQL).
• API/Integration: Apigee, Postman, Swagger/OpenAPI.
• Tools: Jira, Confluence, Git/Bitbucket, VS Code, IntelliJ IDEA, Maven/Gradle.
