Senior Full‑Stack Engineer – Open Finance

Overview As a Senior Full‑Stack Engineer, you will design, build, and deliver cutting‑edge Open Finance solutions that power Mastercard’s next generation of payment and data products. You’ll work across the entire technology stack—from highly available backend services built in Java to engaging front‑end experiences using React—partnering closely with designers, product managers, and architects to bring ideas to life. You will contribute to Connect, the frontend component of our Open Banking Payment and Data applications, helping to drive innovative solutions in pursuit of a world beyond cash. This role requires strong frontend engineering expertise (React & Typescript), robust backend development skills (Node & Java), and the ability to collaborate across disciplines to deliver secure, scalable, and accessible software aligned to Mastercard’s highest standards.

Responsibilities

Plan, design, and develop full‑stack solutions that align with Mastercard’s engineering standards, processes, and best practices. Collaborate with UI/UX designers to implement responsive, accessible user interfaces using React. Ensure that front‑end applications meet WCAG accessibility guidelines, deliver exceptional performance, and are optimised for multiple devices. Build and maintain scalable backend services and APIs within Mastercard’s Open Finance ecosystem using Java. Ensure high code quality through unit/integration testing, peer reviews, and CI/CD pipelines. Contribute across the full software development life cycle—from requirements gathering to release and ongoing support. Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve production issues, ensuring service resilience and performance. Mentor and support junior engineers, fostering knowledge sharing and continuous improvement. Partner with product owners and stakeholders to prioritise features, communicate progress, and manage technical trade‑offs. Stay current with emerging technologies, frameworks, and best practices across frontend and backend engineering.
