You'll work in the backend of that system: subscription and renewal logic, credit ledgers, payment events, and webhook reliability.\nThe core stack is TypeScript (Google Cloud Functions) alongside Go services - you'll live mostly in TypeScript, and we'll teach you the Go you need. If you've built billing, checkout, or transaction systems in Node/TypeScript and sweat correctness, this role was written for you.\nWhat You'll Do\nBuild the money logic - subscription lifecycle, renewals, credits, and plan-change machinery that decides what a customer owes and what happens next.\nGuard the signal - every transaction emits a payment event that gates fulfillment; you'll treat event correctness and webhook reliability as the core of the job.\nIntegrate the stack - work with payment processors and orchestration APIs, handling auth/capture, refunds, retries, and edge cases cleanly.\nTest like it's load-bearing - automated coverage written alongside the code; partial credits and multi-cycle renewals have too many edge cases for manual QA.\nClose the loop when needed - comfort touching the React surfaces your APIs feed is a plus; deep frontend work isn't the job.\nThe Stack\n Backend: TypeScript (Google Cloud Functions), Go, Temporal, Postgres\n Frontend: React, React Native (light touch)\nInfra/Observability: GCP, Datadog\nWhy This Role\nOwn revenue-critical logic at real transaction volume - your work is impossible to miss.\nSmall, senior team with direct access to product and leadership; no ticket-factory dynamics.\nLong-term, stable engagement through Maxana with direct integration into the client's team.\nFully remote, LATAM-friendly hours.\nRequirements\n3+ years of backend TypeScript/Node in production - services, APIs, and async workflows, not just scripts.\n Payments or billing experience strongly preferred - subscriptions, webhooks, PSP integrations (Stripe, PayPal, Adyen, or similar), or other financial-correctness domains (ledgers, lending, e-commerce checkout).\nPostgres fluency - schema design and queries you'd defend in review.\nWillingness to learn Go - some of the platform lives in Go services; you don't need it on day one, but you need to want it.\nTesting-minded by instinct - you write the test alongside the code.\nAI-native workflow - you use AI-assisted engineering tools as part of your craft. Expected, not optional.\nStrong written and spoken English and availability on US business hours\nBenefits\nOwn revenue-critical logic at real transaction volume - your work is impossible to miss.\nSmall, senior team with direct access to product and leadership; no ticket-factory dynamics.\nLong-term, stable engagement through Maxana with direct integration into the client's team.\nFully remote, LATAM-friendly hours.\nCompetitive
