Israeli credit card issuer and payments processor serving 2M+ cardholders
Cal issues Visa, Mastercard, and Diners Club cards and extends non-bank credit across Israel, serving over 2 million cardholders and tens of thousands of businesses. The tech stack spans full-stack web (React, Angular, Node.js, .NET), cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), and observability (Prometheus, Coralogix, PagerDuty), with active hiring across engineering, data, and product — pointing toward modernization of core payments and risk systems. Pain-point concentration on SLA compliance, network expansion, and incident resolution suggests ongoing infrastructure scaling.
