The Client We are building the payments infrastructure that merchants have been waiting for. A single integration, intelligent routing, and the kind of reliability that lets businesses stop thinking about payments and get back to running their business.
The platform is real, the merchants are real, and the problems are hard. We're integrating multiple payment providers, routing transactions intelligently across them, and doing it in a way that's secure, scalable, and maintainable. That takes engineers who care about what they build and understand that in payments, the details matter most.
The Role As a
Senior Backend Developer, you'll be in the engine room—writing production code, building provider integrations, and solving distributed systems challenges. You'll work closely with the Tech Lead and collaborate with a distributed team across multiple time zones.
Key Responsibilities - Build backend services that power payment processing, including sessions, routing, provider adapters, and webhooks.
- Develop solutions across the full software lifecycle—from database schema design through deployment.
- Integrate multiple payment providers using clean adapter patterns, consistent error handling, and maintainable abstractions.
- Write production-grade code that processes financial transactions with a strong focus on correctness, idempotency, and reliability.
- Contribute to architectural discussions, identify design risks early, and continuously improve the platform.
Quality & Performance - Develop comprehensive unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
- Debug production issues by identifying and resolving root causes.
- Participate in code reviews, providing constructive feedback while maintaining high engineering standards.
Collaboration - Partner closely with the Tech Lead on architecture and implementation decisions.
- Collaborate with Product teams to understand business requirements and acceptance criteria.
- Actively participate in Agile ceremonies including stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives.
- Support deployment activities, observability, monitoring, and incident response throughout the software lifecycle.
Success Measures
You'll be successful in this role if:
- You consistently deliver reliable, production-ready software with strong test coverage and minimal regressions.
- Payment provider integrations remain clean, scalable, and easy for the team to extend.
- You proactively identify design risks, technical dependencies, and edge cases before they become issues.
- Your code reviews improve code quality, architecture, and team knowledge.
- You build trust through clear communication, accountability, and dependable collaboration across distributed teams.

- Strong background in distributed systems, high-volume APIs, and third-party integrations.
