In this role, you will help build and evolve mission-critical real-time payment systems powering next-generation US instant payment schemes. You will contribute to the design, development, and operation of distributed, cloud-native microservices built for high availability, performance, and resilience. Working within a fully remote, globally distributed engineering team, you will collaborate closely with senior engineers and product experts to deliver production-grade systems that are preparing for live customer onboarding. You will also take ownership of features and services end-to-end, from design through deployment and ongoing support. This is a hands-on engineering role where reliability, clean architecture, and operational excellence are essential.

Strong experience in software engineering with production-level development in Go (or a strong willingness to specialize in Go).
Solid background in designing and building distributed systems, microservices architectures, and event-driven systems.
Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or GCP), containerization technologies (e.g., Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines.
Familiarity with testing practices such as TDD/BDD and strong appreciation for clean code and engineering best practices.
Ability to take ownership of projects end-to-end, including deployment, monitoring, and production support.
Strong communication skills with a collaborative mindset and comfort working in distributed, remote-first teams.
Experience with observability tools, infrastructure as code, or payment systems is a plus.
Benefits:
Fully remote-first working model across eligible locations.
Competitive compensation package with additional benefits depending on location.
Opportunity to work on critical, real-time financial infrastructure at global scale.
Strong engineering culture focused on autonomy, collaboration, and technical excellence.
Modern tech stack with cloud-native tools and best-in-class infrastructure practices.
