Role
Who you are
- At least 1 year of experience in software development
- Know your way around web-related tech (HTTP, TLS, proxies, API conventions...)
- Able and keen to communicate with third-party API providers to clarify API contracts
- Be product minded
- Always curious and passionate about understanding the business
What the job involves
- We are a self-sufficient team that operates in a fully agile way. We are supported by our very own Product and DevOps teams, and we build and evolve our product together
- We are looking for a Junior Software Engineer to join our Backend team and work alongside them to build and enhance the next version of our merchant-facing platform
- We are experiencing constant growth in the number of transactions handled, new clients, and integrations. That’s why we pay very close attention to elegant design and scalability of the platform. We are looking for dedicated engineers who would like to join us on our journey
- Working within our Integration team to deliver new API connections with Payment Service Providers, maintain existing integrations, and help evolve the platform by implementing new functionalities and optimizing performance
- Contributing to services and overall architecture by discussing technical solutions, proposing enhancements, and actively contributing to our codebases
- Cooperating with the Product team on designing, building, and releasing new features
Our take
The payments industry has exploded in the last decade as eCommerce continues to grow as the use of cash falls. Checkout.com are building the go-to platform for all things related to payments, such as accepting transactions, processing them and detecting fraud. They've secured a steady stream of funding from top investors like Tiger Global Management, and are the strategic payments partner for some of the best known fast-moving brands globally such as Patreon, Dashlane, Udacity, Wise, Sony Electronics, and Klarna.
They focus on large merchants and try to make their product as customisable as possible, so that companies integrate Checkout.com as an infrastructure partner in their product. This increases the stickiness of the product and creates many opportunities for them to generate revenue.
Checkout.com have high quality proprietary technology (their platform has been designed from the outset so they can easily deliver incremental services as they expand their offering) and claim to offer the most comprehensive cross-border payment solution for digital commerce.
