We are working with Rust to develop our microservices, and are accountable for the entire issuer operation. This includes not only card issuance, but also transaction authorization and the clearing process. Our team is responsible for creating a robust and reliable system capable of ensuring every transaction is authorized quickly and accurately. The authorization process is especially time- sensitive and requires both a deep understanding of our technical stack and a clear mindset under pressure. Our focus is on performance, speed, and scalability, as we strive to provide the best experience for our customers while maintaining the security and integrity of our operations. Working on this project will be a remarkable opportunity to push your skills to the limit, and to learn from the challenges of developing real-world applications using the blockchain. Your work will directly impact the way people interact with financial products, setting new standards for the fintech industry. If you're a problem-solver who thrives under pressure, an innovator with a passion for blockchain and microservices, and a fast learner with a solid grasp of Rust, then we'd love to have you on our team.
