## About the Role

* Self-driven and with a high sense of ownership/drive - you take a well-defined task and run with it
 * Comfortable with changing priorities; you re-prioritise your own work without losing momentum or morale
 * Strong sense of ownership - you follow through, and you don't wait to be asked twice

 * 3-5 years of hands-on software engineering experience, ideally with some payments/fintech exposure

Technical requirements:

 * Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs
 * Event-driven microservice architecture (SQS/SNS/Kinesis or similar)
 * AWS cloud fundamentals (EKS, DynamoDB, or equivalent managed services)
 * Testing across the pyramid; comfortable with TDD
 * Observability tooling (Datadog or equivalent) - can read dashboards/alerts and act on them
 * Nice to have: Terraform/IaC exposure, payments or KYC/compliance domain background, hands-on use of AI tools in the SDLC

## Description

The Boarding domain builds and maintains the platform that onboards merchants onto PPRO's network of the products and services that get our customers live, fast, compliant, and reliable. At the center of it all is the merchant: every system we build, every API we ship, connects internal teams and external clients around getting merchants onboarded smoothly. As a Software Engineer, you own live, public-facing APIs built to handle real scale, take on well-defined but moderately complex problems, work largely independently within the team, and own your piece of the boarding pipeline end-to-end., * Build, test, and operate services within the Boarding platform, following the "you build it, you run it" mindset

 * Work largely independently on team-scoped tasks, seeking guidance from senior teammates and your manager on ambiguous or cross-team topics
 * Adapt quickly when priorities shift, re-plan your own work, communicate impact, and keep delivery moving without needing to be told twice
 * Take ownership of your commitments: proactively surface risks/blockers, follow through to completion, and hold yourself accountable for outcomes, not just output
 * Write testable, decoupled, readable code; write tests across the pyramid (unit * integration); use our observability stack to understand and improve the services you own
 * Participate in incident response for your team's services, using runbooks and systematic debugging; contribute to blameless postmortems
 * Collaborate closely with peers, other Boarding squads, and stakeholder teams (Compliance, Product, Risk); share knowledge and give/receive feedback openly
 * Bring energy and curiosity to the team, someone others enjoy pairing with and are inspired by
