Company mission
To provide a state-of-the-art upgrade for payment providers, shielding them from the current antiquated legacy technology still in use today.
Role
Who you are
- This is a software-first role. You'll spend more time writing, testing, deploying, and maintaining code and infrastructure than doing data science. We're looking for someone with 1–3 years of experience, ideally from a software-heavy environment, who wants to own systems end-to-end with support from a senior team
- 1–3 years of experience in a software engineering, data engineering, or similarly software-heavy role
- Proficiency in at least one programming language, ideally Python, TypeScript and/or Go (Rust/ Java / Scala also welcome)
- Solid software fundamentals: testing, version control (git), debugging, and clean, maintainable code
- Working knowledge of SQL and a good grasp of data processing concepts (data quality, deep-diving to find root causes)
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, ideally AWS
- Exposure to infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation) and CI/CD pipelines
- Understanding of APIs and system communication
- Strong communication skills, able to work with non-technical stakeholders and explain technical topics clearly
- Able to operate in a fast-paced, self-driven environment
Desirable
- Experience with a data processing framework (Spark/PySpark, Pandas, or similar)
- Experience with columnar/analytical databases or data formats (Clickhouse, Iceberg/Parquet) or BI tooling (QuickSight/Superset/Looker)
- Experience with non-relational data stores (MongoDB, or GraphQL etc)
- Interest or experience in AI/ML tooling, LLM applications, or workflow automation
- Prior work in regulated industry (payments, financial services)
What the job involves
- The Data Engineer builds and operates Silverflow's data platform: the pipelines, datasets, and services that turn microservice event data into the reporting, analytics, and AI products the whole company relies on
- In a regulated payments environment, this data underpins customer invoicing, transaction reconciliation, and fraud research, so accuracy, timeliness, and reliability matter as much as the features themselves
- Design, develop and maintain ETL pipelines
- Write well-tested, readable, production-ready code and participate in code reviews
- Deploy and maintain data infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
- Instrument data-quality and observability checks
- Support our AI tooling and automation platform - data agents, self-serve query access, and workflow automation
- Support engineering teams in selecting and implementing suitable technologies
- Support product and business teams with internal tooling and datasets
Our take
Silverflow is addressing the longstanding challenge of outdated backend processing systems in the payment industry. While notable disruptors like Adyen, Stripe and PayPal have transformed the front end, offering merchants user-friendly and innovative solutions, the backend infrastructure has largely remained rooted in technology from the past. This gap prompted Silverflow's founders to envision a new approach.
Silverflow's solution is to offer offering a singular API to connect seamlessly with card networks, reducing both the cost and complexity of payments processing for its clients. The platform, which is designed for ease-of-use and enriched with valuable data, allows both legacy and new players alike to innovate their processing approach for more secure and efficient payments.
Strong funding reflects the confidence in Silverflow's vision, and the potential impact of its solution. This financial support is instrumental in the company's ability to pursue its global expansion plans, building on its successful entry into the US and APAC markets in 2023. Overall, Silverflow is well-positioned to further disrupt the payment processing market and establish itself as a category leader.
