**Senior Software Engineer **
Overview
Our Senior Software Engineer is a key member of the engineering staff working across the organization to deliver a frictionless payments experience for our customers while maintaining the highest standards of protection, compliance, and availability. Our team thrives in a hyper-growth environment where priorities shift quickly and quality cannot be compromised.
The ideal candidate combines deep front-end expertise with proven full-stack capabilities—from responsive, accessible payment UIs through APIs, services, and production deployment. You bring strong operational aptitude: you design for reliability, instrument what you ship, and take ownership of systems in production.
Position Responsibilities
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will:
- Scope, design, and build scalable, resilient distributed systems with a primary focus on customer-facing payment experiences and the services that power them
- Own the full stack for payment features—from UX and component design through API contracts, backend integration, and production rollout
- Build product definition and use your technical judgment to drive toward the right solution with product and design partners
- Deliver secure, PCI-aware payment flows including card and bank account capture, tokenization, and wallet experiences
- Provide technical leadership within your team and functional area, especially on front-end architecture, design systems, and modular integration patterns
- Engage in cross-functional collaboration throughout the entire software lifecycle (discovery, design, build, test, deploy, operate)
- Lead design sessions and code reviews with peers to elevate engineering quality across the organization
- Define, create, and support reusable UI components, application patterns, and shared libraries from both business and technology perspectives
- Use developer tooling and Azure services across the SDLC (task management, source control, CI/CD, deployment, observability) to design, implement, and maintain applications with minimal direction
- Demonstrate production ownership and operational excellence—monitoring health, diagnosing issues, improving reliability, and driving root-cause resolution
- Mentor other engineers on front-end practices, full-stack integration, and production readiness
- Consistently share best practices and improve processes within and across teams
Qualifications
Advanced experience building modern web applications with TypeScript, React/Angular, etc.
Strong command of HTML, CSS, and responsive design; experience with enterprise design systems
Familiarity with internationalization and client-side observability
Ability to partner with design on UX, prototyping, and iterative delivery
Advanced programming experience with at least two modern languages, including TypeScript and Go (or equivalent backend languages such as Java, Python, or C#)
Proven experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs and gRPC services in microservices-oriented architectures
Experience with architecture and design for new and existing systems (patterns, reliability, scaling, and maintainability)
Comfort working across front-end, API layer, and backend services to deliver complete payment features
Understanding of payment domain concepts (tokenization, vaulting, PCI scope, secure data handling)
Awareness of compliance constraints when handling sensitive payment data
Experience with continuous delivery, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code
Advanced understanding of monitoring, logging, alerting, and distributed tracing; ability to diagnose production issues and drive remediation
Knowledge of developer tooling across the SDLC (task management, source control, build, deploy, operate, real-time collaboration)
In-depth knowledge of CS fundamentals, data structures, and algorithms
Strong communication skills—able to explain technical problems and solutions to technical and non-technical stakeholders
Experience
- 5+ years of professional software development with meaningful ownership of UI and full-stack features
- Demonstrated production ownership: monitoring, incident response, performance tuning, reliability improvements, or production support
Education
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent education or work experience
