We’re innovators, changemakers, and collaborators. We’re more than just a software company – we’re pioneers in cloud and AI who deliver magical experiences that make our customers’ lives easier. We’re revolutionizing how people do business in the real estate industry, and we want your ideas, enthusiasm, and passion to help us keep innovating.

We are looking for a Senior Payments Software Engineer to play a key role in our Payments Infrastructure development team. In this role, you will contribute to the enhancement and maintenance of our platform, ensuring it remains highly scalable and resilient. You will also collaborate with our Customer Care team to resolve critical customer issues, making a direct impact on our users.

This is an excellent opportunity for a passionate engineer who thrives on working with cutting-edge technology and is motivated to help build a successful SaaS product used by thousands of businesses. Our team values collaboration, innovation, and technical excellence, empowering small teams to drive the technical direction of our solutions.

Your impact:

• Work with an engineering team to design, build, modernize, and maintain our highly scalable payments platform.
• Integrate with our banking partners to enhance our platform and incorporate analytics to help identify efficiencies and cost savings opportunities.
• Analyze the impact of proposed architectural changes and work with our risk and fraud teams to detect and investigate fraud across AppFolio’s entire suite of products.

Qualifications:

• You love learning about new technologies but understand the value of continuing to use something old if it still does everything you need it to do.
• You care about the long-term maintainability of the codebase and will learn to advocate for refactoring and clean-ups where appropriate.
• You care about work-life balance and want your company to care about it, too; you'll put in the extra hour when needed but won't let it become a habit.

Must have:

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 of those years spent working in a SaaS payments environment.
• Experience building a payments system that processes billions of dollars each year.
• Understanding of payments system networks, including card systems, ACH, and checking.
• Experience in risk management and the compliance domain.
• Proven experience with some areas of our tech like Ruby on Rails, React, Redux, AWS, SOA.
• Strong familiarity with Agile software development processes: Scrum or Kanban.
• Strong familiarity with Test-Driven Development.
• Experience building streaming systems with large amounts of data and complex aggregation logic.
• Experience working on a fraud detection and prevention system.

The base salary that we reasonably expect to pay for this role is $138,400-$173,000. The actual base salary for this role will be determined by a variety of factors, including but not limited to the candidate’s skills, education, experience, etc.
