Job description

Our Mission and Vision

At Solidgate, our mission is clear: to empower outstanding entrepreneurs to build exceptional internet companies. We exist to fuel the builders — the ones shaping the digital economy — with the financial infrastructure they deserve. To achieve that, we're on a bold path: to become the #1 payments orchestration platform in the world.

We believe the future of payments is shaped by people who think big, take ownership, and bring curiosity and drive to everything they do. That's exactly the kind of teammates we want on board.

_ Solidgate is part of _Endeavor — a global community of the world's most impactful entrepreneurs. We're proud to be the first payment orchestrator from Europe to join — and to share our expertise within a network of outstanding global companies.

About the Team and Role

You'll join the Billing team and take ownership of the Taxes module — a core part of our billing system responsible for tax calculation and reporting across multiple locations.

The product has already moved beyond MVP and is actively used by customers. The foundational logic is in place, demand is high, and the next step is scaling functionality and reliability.

This role is exciting because you're not maintaining legacy code — you're building and shaping a critical system almost from scratch.
You will have a clear path to Lead: full ownership of the Taxes direction, architectural decisions, and growing a team around it.

Your team — Product Owner, 1 Senior Engineer, 1 Junior Engineer, Automation QA, and Tax Manager.
