Senior Kotlin/Java Developer (SimplePay) at SimplePay

Great at Java but tired of working for the bank? Want to create products that users love instead of spending a week just adding a field to a form? Join us at SimplePay, where we're pursuing a modern approach to Java, using the Kotlin language.

Summary of the Role
