About the Role

We are building a high-performance PaymentHub and orchestration platform that connects merchants with multiple payment gateways, processors and acquirers. As a Rust Engineer, you will work on the core systems behind it: transaction processing and routing, gateway integrations, asynchronous workflows and production reliability. You own problems end-to-end instead of working on isolated modules.

The lifecycle you will work on:

Merchant › Payment API › Decision Engine › Routing › Gateway / Acquirer › Webhooks › Refunds › Reconciliation

What You Will Own

Core payment services: high-throughput, low-latency transaction processing, authorization/capture, refunds and reversals in Rust.
Routing and decision engine: configurable routing rules, success-rate based selection, fallback and cascading retries across gateways and acquirers.
Provider connectors: adapters and abstraction layers that hide provider-specific APIs, auth schemes, response formats and error codes.
Transaction state machines: explicit, auditable lifecycle management that stays correct under timeouts, duplicate callbacks and partial failures.
Idempotency and consistency: duplicate-request handling and idempotent distributed operations that never double-charge or double-refund.
Async and event-driven pipelines: webhook delivery, reconciliation feeds and background workflows on queues/streams.
Internal and merchant-facing APIs used by merchants, internal teams and payment providers.

Production Ownership

Own features across the full cycle: design, development, testing, deployment, monitoring and debugging in production.
Run root-cause analysis for latency spikes, transaction failures and incidents, and ship permanent fixes instead of patching symptoms.
Profile and optimize CPU, memory, I/O, network and database usage; remove bottlenecks before they become outages.
Build observability into everything you ship: structured logs, metrics and traces tied to transaction IDs.

Requirements

What You Bring (Must-Have)

3–6 years of backend engineering with professional Rust experience in production.
Solid command of ownership and borrowing, lifetimes, traits and generics, error handling, memory management, and async/concurrent Rust.
Experience building REST APIs or distributed services, and sound database fundamentals (PostgreSQL, Cassandra and Redis preferred: transactions, isolation, indexing, query tuning).
Good grasp of Linux and networking (TCP, HTTP/TLS, DNS, timeouts, connection pooling).
Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, and the habit of reasoning about failure modes first.
