You will work within a small team where you will pair-program (we operate using the extreme programming framework) to:
* Build resilient and adaptable fintech platforms and components in Java
* Refactor to improve code design
* Write lots of tests (every one of our commits is continuously and rapidly verified by hundreds of tests)
* Automate the boring bits
Features of the way we work:
* We avoid silos by regularly rotating between teams to work on the whole system with an Our Code not My Code mindset and approach
* We practice trunk-based development and continuous integration: we treat every commit as releasable
* We treat broken tests as failures and revert where possible
* We practice TDD, BDD and DDD
* We automate as much as possible
* We pair program to ensure that everyone understands the context of what they are working on. We also believe that pairing drives quality, learning, cross-skilling, and builds empathy with other developers
* Sometimes we have to care about throughput and latency and so take this into account when writing code
* See Dave Farley walk through how our CI pipeline works -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHKHdp4H-8w
