Job description

We are looking for two Backend Software Engineers (Junior to Middle level) to join a cross-functional squad on the Payments Platform. This is a hands-on execution role: designing, building, testing and operating payment services with clean, maintainable Java code, applying SOLID principles and design patterns, and handling sensitive financial data securely. The engineer works closely with business experts, UX/UI designers and the infrastructure/delivery teams, owning the quality and reliability of what they ship in production.

The client is building its new Payments Platform: a modular, cloud-native backend that connects customer experience, business and technology across every market in the region. The platform drives conversion (frictionless and one-click checkout, local payment methods and currencies, intelligent retry of failed authorizations), operational efficiency (smart routing of each transaction to the processor with the best success/cost ratio, automated reconciliation and chargeback handling) and new revenue models (subscriptions, recurring payments, BNPL, and a loyalty wallet enabling hybrid miles + money payments).
