Senior Engineer (Payments)

{ “@context”: “http://schema.org”, “@type”: “JobPosting”, “title”: “Senior Engineer (Payments)”, “description”: “

Senior Engineer – Payments

Role purpose

Own and evolve OrderYOYO’s payments capabilities across online and in-store (POS, Kiosk & Payment terminals), supporting the transition to a more scalable operating model, and enabling capabilities like KYC onboarding, deductions, settlement/payout timing, dispute flows, and merchant invoicing.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary
  • High ownership and autonomy
  • Clear progression toward Tech Lead / Staff Engineer responsibilities
  • Opportunity to work on revenue-critical production systems
  • Strong focus on security, reliability, and engineering best practices
  • Collaborative, international engineering team
  • Emphasis on learning, mentoring, and long-term growth

What We’re Looking For

  • Design, build and operate payment-domain services (gateway integrations, payment intent/authorisation/capture/refund flows, payout orchestration, reconciliation).
  • Implement marketplace capabilities where relevant: onboarding/KYC integration, merchant configuration, settlement instructions, deductions, and invoicing/merchant-statement alignment.
  • Build robust “flow-of-funds” primitives: idempotency, ledgers/events, audit trails, and supportability for finance/compliance.
  • Integrate with PSP and partner tooling with attention to tri‑party / sub‑merchant implications where applicable.
  • Implement dispute/chargeback and fraud‑handling touchpoints (internal workflows + PSP tooling), and collaborate with ops on runbooks and escalation paths.
  • Work closely with Product, Legal/Compliance, Finance, and Support to convert requirements into safe, testable production behaviour.
  • Raise engineering quality in a high‑change domain: automated tests, safe rollouts/canaries, observability, and incident response improvements.
  • Mentor engineers, lead design reviews, and contribute to shared standards and documentation (payments is too critical to be tribal knowledge).

Must‑have experience

  • Strong backend engineering background in distributed systems (microservices, async processing, resilient APIs, eventual consistency).
  • Production experience with payment flows (auth/capture/refund, webhooks, reconciliation) and “money correctness” patterns (idempotency keys, double‑entry thinking, auditability).
  • Solid security mindset: PCI, protecting PII, secrets management, least privilege, secure coding.
  • Comfortable in an Azure‑first environment (APIs, queues/eventing, monitoring), and with CI/CD + automated testing practices.
  • Clear communication with non‑technical stakeholders in high‑stakes scenarios (incidents, financial breaks, compliance asks).

Nice to Have

  • Experience with sub‑merchant / marketplace / Payfac‑like operating models (KYC, underwriting, settlements, fee deductions).
  • Familiarity with dispute tooling, scheme rules, 3DS/risk rules, or fraud platforms.
