Are you an experienced engineer who thrives in solving real-world product problems, has a strong sense of ownership, and gets excited by event-driven systems and modern cloud-native architecture? We’re growing our Payments Engineering team and looking for a senior software engineer to join us on our mission to build modern, reliable, and scalable payment systems.

We’re looking for someone with strong core engineering skills, experience with modern backend architectures, and a mindset aligned with product development — someone who understands not just how to build, but why it matters.

- Hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure and services (we use AWS)
- Proficient in object-oriented programming (we use Java with Spring, but similar backgrounds like C# or Python are welcome)
- Experience with relational databases (we use PostgreSQL) – including optimization and indexing
- Solid understanding of software engineering practices, CI/CD, and DevOps principles
NICE-TO-HAVE
- Exposure to non-relational databases (e.g., DynamoDB, MongoDB)
- Experience with streaming technologies (Kinesis, Kafka)
- Interest or hands-on experience with AI/LLM tooling
- Previous experience in tech leadership or mission lead roles
WHAT KIND OF PERSON FITS HERE

- Product-oriented – you care about building systems that solve real user problems
- Curious and hungry – you want to keep growing and pushing the boundaries
- Team-first – we value great collaboration and shared ownership
BONUS
If you’ve ever built systems in the payments or banking domain, or have experience navigating the unique blend of compliance, scale, and innovation that comes with it — we’d love to hear your story.
LET’S SEE WHAT WE OFFER YOU:
- Exiting challenges providing great opportunities for personal and professional growth
