Senior Software Engineer - Payments

In 1872, the Western Union corporation used their telegraph system to send the world’s first wire transfer; customers thousands of miles apart could now send each other money in minutes. This was the first in a century and a half of innovations that brought us step by step to the modern world of electronic banking. Moving money electronically remains the beating heart of the system.
