Working here means taking on problems most companies never get to solve, and being hands-on enough that the interesting part of the work lands with you, not someone else - you'll build with AI, not watch it happen.\nThis is the stretch zone. Come find out what you're capable of.\nAbout the role\nWhen an acquiring partner needs to understand exactly how Klarna's payment services will fit into their systems, someone has to turn that into a concrete technical answer they can act on. That's you. You'll sit inside the acquiring partner-facing teams, working closely with Product and Engineering, and bring technical and product depth into commercial conversations - partner pitches, technical workshops, integration walkthroughs.\nYou'll act as a trusted advisor to both internal teams and external partners, owning the technical side of the pre-sales process and the solution proposals that go out to partners.\nWith Acquiring Partners specifically, you'll own the end-to-end technical integration narrative - APIs and tokenisation flows, error handling, reconciliation and settlement behaviours, testing strategy, and go-live readiness - in close collaboration with Product and Engineering.\nWhat you'll do\nYou'll lead product demos and presentations, and provide technical input into partner proposals.\n\nYou'll translate product and business requirements into integration solutions partners can actually implement.\n\nYou'll define the technical approach to APIs and tokenisation flows, error handling, reconciliation and settlement behaviours, testing strategy, and go-live readiness for each partner integration.\n\nYou'll use AI tools to move faster through solution design and technical proposal work.\n\nYou'll work directly with Product and Engineering to make sure what you propose to partners is technically sound before it ships.\n\nWho you are\nYou've spent 5+ years implementing or integrating technical solutions, with hands-on exposure to APIs, authentication patterns, and product troubleshooting, ideally in payments or fintech.\n\nYou're familiar with payment systems and concepts - acquiring, issuing, tokenisation, payment flow, order management, settlements - and curious to go deeper into the mechanics of Klarna's payment integrations specifically.\n\nYou're comfortable working hands-on with API tooling like Postman, Bruno, or Swagger/OpenAPI to validate and troubleshoot integrations yourself.\n\nYou understand card scheme and network rules (Visa, Mastercard) as they apply to acquiring flows, chargebacks, and disputes.\n\nYou use AI tools yourself, and you push for their use across the team when they improve the speed or quality of a solution.\n\nYou're comfortable presenting and leading technical discussions with Go-to-Market, Product, and Engineering, as well as partner-facing conversations with commercial stakeholders.\n\nBonus points for\nClient-facing technical experience with web technologies, including payments integrations or checkout ecosystems.\n\nFamiliarity with HTML/CSS and at least one programming language, such as PHP, JavaScript, Python, or Ruby on Rails.\n\nExperience with web shop systems and content management systems.\n\nPrior technical pre-sales, solution consulting, or delivery-facing engineering experience alongside commercial teams.\n\nAwareness of PCI DSS and cardholder data handling requirements.\n\nThings you should know before applying\nWorking together: we value co-located teams; most teams currently meet in the office 2-3 days per week, and this varies by team and can change over time.\n\nNon-obvious backgrounds are welcome. Diversity of skills, perspectives and backgrounds is how we create, innovate, and disrupt like no other.\n\nFinal compensation will be based on the candidate's qualifications, skills, and experience.\n\nPlease include a CV in English. Concrete beats comprehensive - what you built, what it did, what it cost.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4053,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Payment Processing & Gateways","Buy Now, Pay Later"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-29T15:46:02Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 5 · green card filings: 2","filings_12m":5,"filings_prev_12m":6,"green_card_filings_12m":2,"median_offered_wage_usd":159643,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":17,"expected_fill_days":141,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":219549,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/klarna-solutions-engineer-acquiring-partners","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/klarna-solutions-engineer-acquiring-partners.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T09:21:07Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13957,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":11},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=11"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fklarna-solutions-engineer-acquiring-partners"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fklarna-solutions-engineer-acquiring-partners"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fklarna-solutions-engineer-acquiring-partners"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/klarna-solutions-engineer-acquiring-partners\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fklarna-solutions-engineer-acquiring-partners"}]}
