Marqeta is looking for talented Software Engineer II’s to join our Core Platform and Data teams.
As a Software Engineer II, you will deliver resilient and sustainable software projects from design to implementation and rollout. You will execute on defined projects to achieve team-level goals and work on and own minor features in support of larger features. You will contribute heavily to test development and bug fixing and may mentor new hires, interns, or more junior engineers.
Here is some more information about our current teams who are actively hiring:
- Transaction Engine Foundation: The Transaction Engine Foundation team is responsible for all infrastructure relating to transaction processing at Marqeta. We tackle the hairy problems that come with operating a fleet of 1000's of instances while maintaining our platform's capacity and our customers' trust. We deliver and enhance automation to enable a relatively small team of engineers the tools needed to manage a large scale fleet.
- Banking Platform: The Banking Platform engineering team develops and optimizes financial services, including account creation, transaction processing, payment systems, banking integrations, reporting, and reconciliation. We work collaboratively to ensure secure, efficient, and innovative solutions that meet regulatory standards and enhance user experiences in moving the money.
- 3DS: 3D Secure (3DS) makes e-commerce more secure by requiring cardholders to complete an additional verification step with the card issuer at the time of payment on certain transactions.
- Data Experience: The Data XP Engineering team owns Marqeta's reporting infrastructure, which primarily includes the company's Snowflake accounts, data warehouse structure, access patterns, and related ETL/ELT tooling. The team also owns and maintains the DiVA API, Marqeta's primary customer-facing REST API for reporting, which additionally serves customers as the backend behind reports in the Marqeta Dashboard.
- Core Edge Processing: The Core Edge Processing team is responsible for Marqeta's edge presence closest to all the Card Networks we partner with. We operate services within the confines of several data centers that connect back to the main transaction processing platform, all while utilizing AWS primitives to make our engineers lives easier.
- Transaction Exception Manager (TxM): The Transaction Exception Manager (TxM) service is Marqeta's core tool for ensuring the accuracy and integrity of transaction processing and clearing events. The TxM team is responsible for real-time detection of data issues, cross-ledger consistency checks, and alerting system owners to potential discrepancies. Our mission is to safeguard the completeness and correctness of financial data across upstream and downstream systems, enabling faster reconciliation and maintaining trust in Marqeta's financial reporting.
We work Flexible First. This role can be performed remotely in either Toronto, ON or Vancouver, BC Canada. We'd love for you to join us!
