• Integrate global payment platforms and APIs (such as Stripe or Adyen) to optimize our internal financial flows.
• Develop end-to-end products with strong support from our design and product teams, ensuring applications meet the needs of both internal and external users.
• Embed AI into your workflow using GitHub and modern AI tools to accelerate development and build smart agents.
• Drive agile practices within the team, participating in structured Pull Request reviews, continuous deployment, and collaborative specifications.

Your Profile 🎯

• Experience: You have 5+ years of professional experience as a Backend or Software Engineer.
• Tech Stack: Strong foundation in database management, Docker containers, and modern cloud infrastructure architecture. You are language-agnostic and focused on choosing the best tool for the job.
• Backend Robustness: Deep understanding of building reliable, secure, and production-ready APIs, handling concurrency, data integrity, and system monitoring.
• Domain Knowledge: Background in fintech, payment platforms, or financial applications is highly valued.
• Product-First Thinking: You understand why an application is built, how it adapts to clients, and how it impacts the business.
• AI as a Habit: You actively leverage AI assistants and automation tools in your daily coding routine.
• Collaboration: Comfortable working with Agile methodologies, peer reviews, and cross-functional teams.

Bonus Points ✨
• Experience developing or integrating AI agents.
