We are looking for an experienced .NET Principal Software Engineer to evolve and modernize our payments infrastructure, improve scalability and security, and design new distributed services where they add the most value. You’ll have meaningful ownership over critical payment services and the opportunity to influence technical direction across the platform.
You’ll contribute to an established payments platform that our customers use every day, with opportunities to strengthen its architecture and extend its capabilities. You’ll partner closely with Product, Security, Compliance, and Operations, and collaborate with other teams to move shared initiatives forward creating a better experience for our customers.
What You'll Do:
- Platform & Architecture:
- Own and evolve core payment services for online (CNP), device-based EMV (CP), digital wallets (e.g., Apple Pay, Google Pay), and payment facilitator/orchestration flows.
- Modernize and improve existing components into more cloud-native, distributed architectures using containers on AWS/Azure.
- Own and extend end-to-end payment workflows: authorization, capture, void, refund, tokenization, clearing, funding, settlement, and multi-source reconciliation.
- Expand capabilities for international payments, including multi-currency and cross-border flows.
- Integrate with payment service providers (PSPs), EMV card readers, and device SDKs using secure, standards-based messaging.
- Improve and maintain CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions (automated builds, tests, security scans, packaging, deployments).
- Design and evolve test automation strategy, covering domain-level logic, API contracts, and integration with external processors and devices.
- Strengthen platform reliability through observability (metrics, logs, traces), fault-tolerant design, and automated operational workflows.
- Partner with Product, Security, Compliance, and Operations to deliver features that balance customer experience, regulatory requirements, risk, and operational robustness.
- Mentor engineers, lead design and architecture discussions, and influence the long-term strategy for the payments platform.
