Senior Backend Engineer (L5) -Payments

About the role

We're hiring a Staff Software Engineer for our Payments team. This is the senior-most individual contributor role on the systems that move money across borders — payment orchestration, corridor and partner integrations, FX and quoting, the payment lifecycle from initiation to settlement confirmation, and the regulated controls (safeguarding, transaction monitoring) that our EU licenses demand.

What you'll do

• Own the technical direction for payments: payment orchestration, corridor and partner integrations, FX and quoting, lifecycle modelling (statuses, webhooks, returns
• Design the corridor expansion architecture: turn new-corridor launches (EUR, MXN, COP, AED, and beyond) from bespoke integration projects into configuration-driven
• Lead the engineering of regulated controls: safeguarding flows (segregation, sweeps, coverage reconciliation) and transaction monitoring pipelines
• Define and maintain the standards for money-path code — idempotency, exactly-once effects, consistency guarantees under partner failure
• Own resilience against partners: degraded-mode behavior, failover and routing across redundant partners, cut-off handling

What you need

• TypeScript
• AML
• Reconciliation
• Incident response
• Any graduate
