Our Engineering culture values autonomy, excellence, ownership, and curiosity. We encourage engineers to lead solutions end-to-end, mentor others, and continuously improve how we build and operate software. If you’re excited by solving complex global payments challenges and enjoy working with smart, kind, mission-driven people — this is the place for you.
What you get to do:We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to design, build, and scale Java backend services that power our global payments infrastructure. You’ll lead end-to-end delivery, contribute to technical strategy, and help raise the engineering bar across the organisation.
- Lead the design and development of backend services, distributed systems, and APIs.
- Own features end-to-end (architecture, coding, testing, observability, and deployment).
- Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code, following engineering best practices and test-driven development.
- Break down complex technical work into manageable chunks
- Work in a collaborative, cross functional, agile team environment

Experience:
- Significant commercial experience with modern Java 15 (We’re currently moving to 21. As a guide, multiple projects with 5+ years of experience. Proven experience designing, building and maintaining distributed systems and microservices)
- Deep understanding of Object-Orientated programming
- Familiarity with event-driven architectures or Domain Driven Design.
- Love to work using TDD
- Strong grasp of relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and data modeling.
- Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), containerisation, CI/CD, and Infrastructure-as-Code.
- Nice to have, but not critical, experience in fintech, payments, or other high-throughput/regulated domains.
- Most importantly, a desire to learn, grow and collaborate with an amazing team
- 100% remote, globally distributed team
