Job description

Architect the technology behind secure, scalable payments.

SegPay is looking for an experienced Software System Architect to help shape the architecture and continued evolution of our payment gateway and credit card processing platforms.

This is a hands‑on technical leadership role for someone who can see the big picture without stepping away from the code. You'll partner with Product, Business Analysts, and Engineering to translate complex business and financial requirements into secure, scalable, and reliable solutions.

If you bring deep LAMP/PHP expertise, a strong background in payment processing, and the ability to lead technical direction while remaining hands‑on, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Design, architect, and evolve our payment gateway and credit card transaction-processing platforms
• Create secure and scalable solutions supporting credit card and ACH authorization, settlement, and reconciliation
• Translate business, financial, and payment-processing requirements into technical designs and architecture
• Provide technical direction to developers on architecture, programming standards, and best practices
• Remain hands‑on with development, code reviews, testing, and troubleshooting
• Mentor developers on architecture, design patterns, and secure coding practices
• Participate throughout the development lifecycle, including design, development, QA, production support, and releases
• Partner with DevOps on CI/CD, deployment automation, monitoring, and production support
• Help ensure solutions meet security and compliance requirements, including PCI DSS
• Support and enhance legacy gateway systems

The role combines architecture, technical leadership, development, payment-processing expertise, and production responsibility.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent work experience
• 8+ years of professional software development experience
• Experience in a Software Architect or technical lead role
• Strong background in credit card processing and payment gateway systems
• Experience with transaction processing, including credit card and ACH payment methods
• Proven experience architecting and building systems using the LAMP stack: Linux, Apache, MySQL/MariaDB, and PHP
• Strong hands‑on PHP development experience
• Experience with OOD/OOP, MVC frameworks, and common design patterns
• Experience with Agile development practices, Git, testing methodologies, BitBucket, and Jira
• Experience with DevOps practices, including CI/CD and automated deployment
• Ability to provide technical leadership and direction to a development team

The Kind of Architect Who Thrives Here

You're comfortable moving between strategy and execution. You can design the architecture, explain why it works, guide developers through implementation-and jump into the code when necessary.

You understand the unique demands of financial transaction systems where security, reliability, scalability, and accuracy matter around the clock.

You're also a collaborative technical leader who enjoys mentoring developers and raising the standard for how systems are designed and built.

Benefits & Perks

We believe great work should come with great benefits. Our benefits package includes:

• Health, Dental & Vision Insurance
• 401(k) with Company Matching
• Short‑Term & Long‑Term Disability Insurance
• Weekly Lunch Stipend

Ready to Architect What's Next?

If you're an experienced technical leader with deep LAMP/PHP and payment-processing expertise who still enjoys being hands‑on, we want to hear from you.
