BUILD THE BACKEND CUSTOMERS NEVER SEE—

We are looking for an accomplished Secure Payments, API & Financial Integration Backend Engineer to develop the backend infrastructure connecting payment platforms, financial services and digital applications.

THE ENGINEER WE SEEK

You are a backend engineer who understands that financial integrations are not ordinary software integrations.

You think carefully about:

What happens when the request is duplicated?

What happens when the payment provider times out?

What happens when the transaction succeeds but the response fails?

What happens when an external system becomes unavailable?

Your engineering decisions should produce systems that remain dependable even when individual components fail.

DESIRABLE EXPERIENCE

Experience in payments, digital banking, fintech APIs, payment gateways, financial integrations, backend engineering or cybersecurity is highly advantageous.

SUCCESS PROFILE

Secure APIs + Reliable Transactions + Resilient Integrations + Exceptional Observability = Trusted Financial Infrastructure
