Job Description

As the world works and lives faster, FIS is leading the way. Our fintech solutions touch nearly every market, company, and person on the planet.

Our teams are inclusive and diverse. Our colleagues work together and celebrate together. If you want to advance the world of fintech, we’d like to ask you : Are you FIS?

About The Team

We are the FIS Embedded Finance team, and our mission is to enable developers across all verticals to imagine, create, and monetize financial products to profoundly transform the way the entire financial industry consumes services.

Today, it's difficult for many businesses to build the financial products they imagine. Whether that's launching a new credit or debit card, a savings account, a lending business, or anything else there are barriers in the way that require excessive time and effort.

We make it trivially easy for businesses to compliantly offer financial products and innovate on their key differentiators rather than spend all their time building and maintaining financial infrastructure.

• Partner with cross-functional teams (engineering, product, design, security, compliance, etc.) to bring ideas to life.
• Set and maintain high standards of technical excellence across the team.
• Mentor junior engineers and help hire new talent to build a stronger team.
