The role

Our client moves money globally across currencies, entities, payment providers and banking rails.

Integrate with payment platforms, banks, payroll providers and financial systems, handling webhooks, rate limits, retries, settlement and failure modes
Automate reconciliation across payouts, invoices, bank transactions and accounting systems so every money movement is traceable
Build invoicing, billing, collections and revenue-recognition workflows, including deferred and unbilled revenue and accruals
Design for idempotency, transaction integrity, observability, audit trails and safe recovery from failed transactions
Turn spreadsheet-heavy finance workflows into scalable internal tools

What you bring

3–5 years of backend development focused on payment systems, distributed systems or cloud infrastructure
Strong CS fundamentals; a degree in Computer Science, Software or Computer Engineering, or similar is strongly preferred
Production backend and high-concurrency systems where correctness and data integrity are critical
Proficiency in at least one backend language (C++, Java, Go, Python or Shell)
Experience with payments, billing, fintech, marketplaces, banking infrastructure or other high-volume transactional systems
Solid grasp of APIs, databases, concurrency, idempotency, retries, transaction boundaries, event-driven systems and reconciliation
Ownership of critical production systems, including monitoring, incident response and root-cause fixes

Nice to have

Payments or transaction infrastructure experience at a leading fintech or high-volume consumer marketplace
Built wallets, ledgers, payout systems, billing infrastructure or reconciliation engines
Cross-border payments, FX and multi-currency settlement across entities and jurisdictions
Accounting fluency: double-entry, revenue recognition, AP/AR, clearing accounts and settlement
