  • Develop internal tools, automation, and documentation that improve team productivity and code quality.

  • Make key architectural decisions and guide technical strategy while considering business impact and scalability.

  • Share backend knowledge, review team member’s code, and help grow the technical capabilities of the team

  • Create robust, well-documented payments-focused APIs and services that enable product features and third-party integrations.

  • Own our cloud infrastructure setup, deployment processes, and development workflows

What You Need to be Successful (a.k.a. Qualifications)
  • Strong Backend Systems Architecture Experience - Proven track record of designing and building scalable distributed systems

  • Technical Leadership and Ownership - History of owning critical backend infrastructure and making key architectural decisions

  • Cloud Infrastructure Expertise - Deep experience with cloud services, containerization, and infrastructure as code

  • System Performance and Reliability - Track record of building and maintaining highly available systems with strong monitoring and optimization

  • API Design and Integration Experience - History of creating robust, well-documented APIs and integrating complex systems

  • Team Collaboration and Mentorship - Ability to work effectively in a small team while helping others grow technically

  • Strong Communication Skills - Can explain complex technical concepts clearly and work well with non-technical teammates

Bonus points if you:
