Builds and maintains Airwallex’s developer platform, APIs, and integrations with accounting, ERP, and marketplace tools to enable third-party partners to extend the global payments and financial platform.
Airwallex is the AI-native financial operating system for a real-time, intelligent economy. More than 675,000 businesses, including McLaren Racing, Qantas, SHEIN, and TikTok, use us, directly or through our platform partners, to run their financial operations or build and monetize financial products of their own.
We started in Melbourne in 2015 to build the infrastructure global commerce runs on. We're the regulated backbone behind global payments: not by accident, but by design. A decade plus, 85+ licenses, and a financial infrastructure spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
We're co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore, with more than 2,300 people across 27 offices. We hire builders with founder-level energy, people who move fast with good judgment, dig in with real curiosity, and make calls from first principles rather than waiting to be told what to do. Read our operating principles to see it in full.
Join our Ecosystem team, a cross-functional group of engineers and product partners building the platforms and integrations that connect Airwallex with the software our customers rely on every day. We own strategic accounting, marketplace, payment plugins, and open‑banking integrations, as well as the infrastructure that powers our public APIs that enabling third-party partners to build on top of. You’ll work closely with backend, product, design, and go‑to‑market teams to ship secure, reliable experiences that simplify financial operations for businesses of all sizes and unlock new use cases on top of the Airwallex business account.
As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies and contribute to the growth and success of our company. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and maintain the ecosystem platform, build and integrate APIs to connect with external financial institutions and third-party platforms (accounting, HR, ERP, marketplace, etc.), and develop scalable solutions to support our ecosystem strategy.
You will also have the chance to work closely with product managers and designers to deliver innovative features and functionalities, as well as contribute to the technical roadmap and provide input on new technologies and best practices.
