How you’ll make a huge impact here – and on your career:

This role is all about getting hands-on in designing & coding scalable and highly performant software with a smart, collaborative team. Reporting to our VP of Engineering, Chief Architect, you will participate in innovation research tracks like AI/ML, as well as developing our unified/enterprise product architecture including emphasis on cloud scale performance & scalability roadmap enhancements. You’ll also play a part in pairing, coaching, and mentoring fellow VEEPs (Versapay’s Empowered and Enabled People).

We’re interested to hear from individuals who are excited by designing and implementing modern cloud scale architecture/infrastructure processing hundreds of millions of transactions and billions in payment volumes.

What you'll do:

• Drive us forward: Design, develop, and test, product features satisfying business & technical requirements on time and on budget.
• Develop the big picture: Define & maintain architecture principles, patterns, and standards with particular attention to scalable, and high performing design.
• Get in the weeds: Triage and correct performance and/or data integrity concerns by reviewing & evaluating code, data patches, system logs, and process/memory/disk consumption utilization.
• Collaborate across teams: Partner with product managers/analysts, customer care, DevOps, and other engineers on features and support cases, supporting technical decision making, and leading work that affects more and more complex systems and critical areas of our application.
• Lead research: Provide critical R&D to help us continue to design for scale and reliability as we grow (and we’re growing).
• Coach and mentor: Provide guidance to junior-intermediate engineers on the team and others when possible.

What you'll bring to the team:

• Practical experience: Background in computer science engineering and at least 7 years in software engineering under your belt, having written enterprise scale software in an agile test-driven culture that has shipped to market. Experience specifically in Ruby/Rails/Sinatra is a big plus. Proven machine learning integration using traditional techniques and/or AutoML platforms.
• Deep expertise: Strong knowledge & practice in a variety of technology spanning, algorithms/data-structures, languages (e.g. Ruby, Java, Python, C#), databases (e.g. Postgres, Oracle, SQLServer), operating systems (e.g. Mac, Windows, *nix), and benchmarking tools/techniques. Demonstrated experience leveraging LLMs and LLM cloud providers (e.g. Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock) for productivity and product benefit.
• Communication: Able to effectively deliver written and verbal communications that are clear, compelling, to socialize ideas and get buy-in.
• Follow-through/execution: Excellent organizational skills, work ethic, and passion to deliver on commitments.
• Proactiveness and curiosity: Able to work effectively in a team with minimal supervision, using your knowledge to source and resolve problems.
• Related industry knowledge: Preferably, experience in the Payments Industry and/or PCI/DSS, would be a strong asset.
