Senior Software Engineer, Very Good Security

• Ownership at Scale: 5+ years of software engineering experience taking personal ownership of features in complex, high-throughput distributed systems within mission-critical environments
• Java & Microservices Expertise: Proficiency in Java and modern frameworks (Spring/Spring Boot), with a strong command of REST API design, distributed architecture, and microservices design patterns
• Data & Messaging Systems: Hands-on experience with event-driven architectures, messaging systems (Kafka, SQS), and relational database tuning and performance optimization
• Cloud-Native & Containers: Solid hands-on experience with containerized delivery paradigms (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS) and public cloud ecosystems, preferably AWS
• Security & Compliance Foundations: Solid understanding of secure coding practices, API security, and operating within regulated compliance frameworks (PCI-DSS, SOC2)
• Growth Mindset & High Agency: You're curious; you thrive at acquiring the context and asking questions needed to solve meaningful problems without needing every task spelled out. You have an innate drive to experiment, automate away repetitive tasks, and acquire whatever missing context is needed to solve complex technical challenges end-to-end

Desirable

• As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be a key contributor and technical practitioner on our Payments Acceptance team. In this role, you will help design, scale, and fortify global, high-throughput payment systems designed to execute mission-critical transactions with zero downtime. You will take direct ownership of expanding our high-impact Value-Added Services (VAS) including Network Tokens, Account Updater, 3DS, and Account Validation
• Working hand-in-hand with Tech Leads, Product Management, and adjacent platform teams, you will execute complex initiatives and uphold enterprise reliability standards. Rather than executing against rigid task lists or waiting for top-down instructions, you will bring high agency to your daily work, pioneering AI-native engineering methodologies and integrating agentic workflows across the entire SDLC
• We are looking for hands-on product-minded builders who refuse to settle for the status quo, hate manual friction, and take immense pride in solving complex distributed systems challenges at 10,000+ TPS with exceptional quality, scalability, reliability, and security
• Build Mission-Critical Payments Services: Design, build, and optimize high-availability, low-latency, and resilient Java microservices powering our core Payments Acceptance platform and Value-Added Services
• Drive AI-Native Engineering: Actively integrate AI-augmented development tools and agentic workflows into your daily SDLC—from rapid prototyping and automated code generation to comprehensive test suite creation and complex refactoring to eliminate friction and multiply delivery velocity
• Drive Resiliency & Automation: Eliminate manual toil by building automated, self-healing services using GitOps, modern CI/CD pipelines, and robust Infrastructure-as-Code practices
• Deep Observability & Operations: Configure and maintain telemetry tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) to proactively spot bottlenecks. You will participate in on-call rotations and lead blameless post-mortems to continuously harden system reliability
• Enable Engineering Velocity: Partner with cross-functional teams to build and adopt "Golden Paths" that streamline software delivery. Mentor mid-level and junior engineers while championing high code quality and testing standards
• Customer & Product Impact: Own service functionality end-to-end ensuring security, performance, and low latency for external customer traffic while supporting smooth platform adoption internally
