Build the Future of Global Payments (Tech For Good) | Senior Full Stack | £150K + Equity | Node|TypeScript|React | 5 Days Per Week London Be one of the first applicants, read the complete overview of the role below, then send your application for consideration.
I am looking for an exceptional engineer to take ownership of a mission-critical payments platform, powering real-time money movement for high-value clients around the world.
This isn't a sandbox. This is live infrastructure. Every line of code you write will move real money, for real businesses, in real time.
You'll sit at the heart of a fast-scaling payments ecosystem, designing and operating systems that bridge fragmented financial networks and make them feel seamless.
Real Impact, Instantly
Your work won't sit behind feature flags for months. You'll ship fast, go live quickly, and see your systems handle meaningful transaction volume from day one.
Solve the Hard Stuff
You'll be working with complex, inconsistent external systems - turning unreliable APIs into rock-solid infrastructure. Expect edge cases, ambiguity, and problems that don't have obvious answers.
Full Ownership
From integration to production performance, you own the outcome. You'll design, build, monitor, and continuously improve systems end-to-end.
Scale That Matters
Help lay the foundation for cross-border financial infrastructure across rapidly growing markets - starting with key regions and expanding far beyond.
What You'll Be Doing
- Designing and building robust backend services that power high-volume transaction flows
- Integrating with multiple third-party payment systems and making them reliable
- Investigating and resolving live transaction issues under real-world conditions
- Creating monitoring, alerting, and failover systems that prevent problems before they escalate
- Shipping new integrations at pace while maintaining system stability
- Improving the developer experience for clients using your APIs
Requirements
- Experience building or working on payment systems, fintech products, or transaction-heavy platforms
- Strong backend engineering skills, with the ability to operate across the full stack when needed
- Confidence working in fast-moving environments where priorities shift and systems are live
- A mindset focused on resilience - you think in terms of failure modes, not just happy paths
- Ability to debug under pressure and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- A bias for action - you ship, iterate, and improve continuously
Nice to have:
Experience with regulatory or security xgikmsk frameworks, or exposure to emerging market payment systems.
Problems You'll Tackle
- Making unreliable external systems behave like dependable infrastructure
- Detecting and resolving issues before customers ever notice them
- Scaling systems without constant rewrites
- Balancing speed with long-term reliability
- Designing APIs that developers actually enjoy using
