As a leading payment gateway, Authorize.net is trusted by more than 445,000 merchants, handling more than 1 billion transactions and USD 149 billion in payments every year. 

As a Senior Consultant Software Engineer at Authorize.net (a Visa solution), you will be a hands-on technical leader and guide the development of new features by translating business problems into technical solutions that resonate with our merchants and partners. You will also drive cross-team features that standardize our approach to API & User Experience development and data schemas, ensuring consistent implementation of best practices across the team. 

Beyond features, you will also work on modernization, partnering across multiple teams to upgrade our systems and deliver innovative online payment solutions. This includes containerizing applications, splitting monolithic codebases into microservices, and migrating on-premises workloads to AWS and other cloud platforms. You will design and build cloud-native architectures using AWS services such as ECS/EKS, Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch, IAM, and more. In addition, you will enable process improvements through robust DevOps practices, incorporating comprehensive release management strategies and optimized CI/CD pipelines. 

Collaborating with product managers, tech leads, and engineering teams, you will follow technology roadmaps, architecture best practices, communicate status, and mentor engineers in technical approaches. This position requires a solid track record of delivering scalable, reliable, and secure software solutions. While we prefer C# expertise, knowledge of other modern programming languages is also welcome.
