Engineering - Technology at Coda

At Coda, our goal is to make our mark in the high-volume payments and e-commerce industry – and we are levelling up fast. To stay in stride with the dynamic environment, we focus on building robust, distributed systems that can effortlessly handle traffic spikes. Moreover, our ambitious roadmap necessitates innovative tools to streamline the development lifecycle and sustain our swift momentum.

We place great value on balancing teamwork with individual autonomy, allowing our teams to make the most of modern cloud infrastructure. Our tech stack is solidly based on AWS cloud, with a keen interest in infrastructure-as-code and the creation of new microservices via the Quarkus framework. Our toolbox includes JSON and GRPC, multiple data storage integrations, queues, OpenTelemetry, and more.

But what truly defines us? It's our incredible team. We hire top talent and give them the freedom to push Coda's technology and products to exciting new levels. We believe that genius can strike anywhere, so we promote ownership and cultivate a servant leadership culture that lets engineers take the reins on features.

About the role

We are looking for a proactive, driven engineer who is hungry to contribute using their deep and fundamental knowledge in software development and automation. You will be responsible for the architecture, development, and evolution of key products and features at Coda.

About the Distribution Team

Our vision is to be the clearinghouse for digital top-ups. We aim to provide Coda and its partners with an asymmetric edge by building a highly versatile B2B platform for the gaming industry. We help publishers extend their reach and enable distributors to access a wide range of digital content.

The Distribution team at Coda plays a critical role in our business, currently contributing over 40% of Coda’s total monthly TPV — all driven by a lean, high-performing team of just four engineers. This is a unique opportunity to work on a high-impact product with strong visibility and real business results.

We're focused on finding smarter, more scalable ways to distribute digital goods to resellers and distributors. As we continue to scale, this team remains essential to our growth — especially as our Custom Commerce and Shop/Pay offerings ramp up.

If you're looking for meaningful ownership, complex technical challenges, and the opportunity to shape a key part of Coda’s success
