Senior Software Engineer - Payments Infrastructure
About the role
Own features end-to-end - Take ideas from early concept through production. You won’t just write code - you’ll ship real systems, iterate quickly, and see the impact of your work in production.
Think beyond the task - Take initiative, understand the broader system and business context, and help drive both product and technical decisions. This is not a ticket-driven role.
Leverage AI-accelerated development practices - Use modern AI coding tools to improve development velocity, code quality, and testing efficiency while building robust, secure, and scalable infrastructure.
Backend-focused, full-stack mindset - Your core focus will be backend systems, but you’re comfortable operating across APIs, data, infrastructure, and DevOps when needed.
Design for scale - Build backend services that are reliable, maintainable, and architected to scale with the platform.
