We are looking for a skilled and enthusiastic Java engineer with significant experience with an enquiring mind, to help us build a global platform that will form a backbone of American Express’s regulatory compliance landscape. We are building the platform as a set of microservices communicating via a mixture of synchronous APIs and asynchronous messaging, as well as an Angular/Express user interface. This approach allows us to grow and evolve our technology stack and take advantage of innovative solutions. Java is the core technology but we need someone who understands a range of associated technologies and has a proven ability to get to grips with new ideas quickly. We work on a mixture of greenfield development and integration with existing enterprise solutions.

Joining the UK-based KYC (Know Your Customer), AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and Regulatory Reporting Technologies team, this role will be focused on driving the development of innovative solutions to satisfy the needs of our business – as an agile team we work closely with our business partners to understand what they require, and we strive to continuously improve as a team - we all have a role in accelerating our delivery of high quality reliable and resilient code, and that means taking control of our complete delivery pipeline.

This is an opportunity to work in a diverse team within a diverse organisation with fantastic scope for career progression, either technical or people focused. You will have a chance to work in a vibrant campus that has, over the last few years, brought together a range of highly skilled technical people covering every level of experience and a real variety of backgrounds. You will be able to help decide what technologies are used – we embrace innovation both in our day to day work and through events such as hackathons and internal tech conferences.

The software engineer will be part of KYC scrum team, but will have opportunity to work across the portfolio. The role will include, but is not limited to:

  • Greenfield development using a micro-service, cloud based containerised architecture
  • Identifying DevOps opportunities to streamline the deployment pipeline and increase the ability of the team to be in control
  • Refactoring and migrating legacy code
  • Understanding the capabilities and usage of other systems, including the Amex Big Data platform
  • Troubleshooting problems by debugging and log analysis, and identifying ways to avoid or simplify troubleshooting through improvements to monitoring, alerting and self-correcting code
  • Taking full part in agile activities and working with an agile mindset of continuous improvement

Offer of employment with American Express is conditioned upon the successful completion of a background verification check, subject to applicable laws and regulations.
