Description

Kunai is a fast-growing digital consultancy focused on banking, payments, and fintech powered by a global network that attracts the best and brightest people from all backgrounds and cultures, driven by innovation and experimentation, spread across almost every single continent. Over the past decade, we've shipped over 150 products for clients that include Visa, American Express, Capital One, WEX, Wells Fargo, Ernst & Young, and TOMS Shoes. Our founders built a previous agency (Monsoon) that was acquired by Capital One in 2015.

Do you love building and pioneering in the technology space? Do you enjoy solving complex business problems in a fast-paced, collaborative, inclusive, and iterative delivery environment? In this role, you'll be part of a big group of makers, breakers, doers and disruptors, who solve real problems and meet real customer needs. 
 
We are seeking a Software Engineering Leader who is passionate about marrying data with emerging technologies. You’ll have the opportunity to be on the forefront of modernizing a banking core that powers over $60 billion in annual transaction volume for over 100 million active payment cards for one of the largest credit card issuers in the world.
 
You will work on one of our agile Kunai teams building microservices in Go that form an abstraction layer between core ledger and instrument data and the many issuer services outside of the banking core that need to interact with this data. Your team’s work will facilitate the migration of the core itself from a legacy off-the-shelf system to a bespoke, purpose-built one, and facilitate simpler core migrations and modernizations for decades to come.
 
The work includes navigating the challenges of streaming, multi-tenancy and building consumable data products in an extremely high volume environment, with the goal of unlocking the power of real-time ledger, transaction and instrument data – with reconciliation and audit trails – for a variety of issuer software systems.
We are looking to hire engineers who are well versed in Go, python, AWS technologies, and stream processing technologies such as Kafka and Apache Storm.
 
Qualifications: 
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or equivalent
  • 7+ years of experience in software engineering (Internship experience does not apply)
  • Experience providing technical leadership to a team of engineers, including training and mentorship
  • Experience writing production software in Golang
  • Practical experience in streaming technologies (Kafka, Flink, Storm, Kinesis) 
  • Experience with core AWS Services (Fargate, Lambdas, S3, SNS, SQS, etc.)
  • DevOps Tools (Jenkins, Github, Docker, Etc…)
  • Ability to work with across multi-disciplinary teams
  • Solid written and verbal English skills
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with Python development
  • Experience with GraphQL
  • Data Engineering experience
  • Experience with DynamoDB
  • Experience building software in the financial services or payments space
 

At Kunai, we have built deep relationships with our clients. Our bar is high, and our mission is to always exceed our client’s expectations. If you are fanatical about customer success and driven to work on and solve tough technical challenges, we would love to chat with you!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
