Company Description

At Xplor we help businesses succeed by giving them the software, payments, and commerce-accelerating technologies they need to thrive. 

We know our clients and partners because we once were our clients. We understand their industry, customers, and unique goals so that we can help them overcome obstacles and leave a lasting legacy.

• Create and maintain documentation for developed APIs.
• Apply design patterns and best practices as needed.
• Have a keen eye for improving scalability, performance, security, and reliability.
• Participate in on-call rotations to support the production environment — usually a 2-week rotation (with support and shadowing as needed).
