Backend Developer

Backend Developer in Payment Engineering

In Vipps we’re on a mission to make life easier for people and businesses through smart payments and identification solutions. From helping people easily split a bill to making it easy for merchants to accept Vipps anywhere to paying your bills, we are working to simplify your day. We are working hard to simplify login and identification and we're further developing the digital payment infrastructure.

We strive to use the best tool for the job, which currently has us working mainly in Go which run on containers in Azure. We also do some coding in Java, Python and C#/F# with a bit of bash scripting thrown in for fun. We are heavily reliant on advanced use of databases like MS SQL Server and Cosmos DB.

You will design, build, deploy and maintain the core of Vipps payment products, services and APIs. As a backend developer in the Payment Engineering department you will be part of the teams responsible for Vipps payment initiations through bank and PSP APIs, risk controls, reconciliation, settlements to merchants and accounting for internal stakeholders. The area is rapidly changing to use the best means of processing payments for different customer and merchant needs, while being compliant with current regulations. You will own your work in production, measure their impact and handle any related issues. You will communicate with stakeholders to deliver high quality solutions and take an active part in improving our current tooling, standards and processes.

As we are a vital part of the digital payments infrastructure we are regulated and kept to a very high standard by the financial authorities (and ourselves).

Our team in Oslo is looking for a backend developer with expert knowledge of relational databases in the Payment Engineering department to strengthen our team. Are you the one?

Who We’re Looking For:

You have extensive experience and expert-level knowledge of relational databases, preferably Microsoft SQL Server. We won’t judge if you dream in SQL.

You are a passionate and pragmatic about your work. You want to write great code and you want to ship. There's a balance to maintain there and you do your best to find the right balance.

You enjoy working on a team. You write code with your teammates in mind. You know you can learn a lot from everyone around you.

You believe in what you're doing here and you take ownership of what you work on. When issues come up, you dive right in and get us back on track. When we celebrate successes, you are humble about your achievements.

What We Value:

• Quality: We prefer to keep things simple with good attention to detail.
• Testing: We believe automated integration tests are required for delivering trustworthy financial products.
• Shipping: We want to constantly be delivering code.
• Collaboration: Our best work is done as a team. We succeed (and fail) together.
• Experimentation: We believe in the merits of hypothesis-driven experimentation, continuous deployment and validated learning.
• Open Source: We want to give back to the community that has given so much to us.

• You should have a Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science and related fields or equivalent work experience.
• We'll make sure you have the right tools for the job (computer, phone, etc.)
• We trust you to setup your own development environment that works best for you. The majority of the department use Linux.

We have moved into brand new offices in Bjørvika, Oslo, just a few minutes walk from Oslo S. Sound good? Get in touch! Applying is just as easy as paying with Vipps; push the button, answer a few questions and "vipps"- you have applied.
