It's a bonus if you have * Experience in payments, fintech, commerce, gateways, card-not-present processing, checkout, tokenization, 3DS/SCA, fraud/risk, disputes, merchant reporting, or other high-trust transaction systems. * Experience building or integrating with AI-powered applications, agent frameworks, LLM tool-calling patterns, MCP-style integrations, A2A-style workflows, structured automation systems, or safe AI execution patterns such as validation, policy checks, audit logs, fallback paths, and protection against prompt injection or tool misuse. * Hands-on experience with Node.js, TypeScript, SDKs, developer tooling, sandbox environments, sample apps, merchant-facing APIs, GitHub projects, open-source tools, standards discussions, AI engineering communities, or technical forums. ## Description * Design and build secure checkout and payment APIs that AI agents can invoke reliably and deterministically, including support for concepts such as UCP, ACP, AP2, agentic tokens, delegated credentials, verifiable intent, and MPP. * Implement flows that capture and validate agent context, user intent, delegated authority, payment credentials, risk signals, transaction evidence, and downstream reporting data. * Integrate agentic commerce capabilities with global payment platforms, gateways, checkout, tokenization, authentication, fraud, reporting, and merchant-facing systems. API & SDK Development * Build merchant-facing APIs, SDKs, documentation, sample flows, sandbox experiences, and developer tools that make agentic commerce easier to adopt. * Design for clear contracts, predictable errors, strong validation, fast testing, and measurable time-to-first-transaction. * Use feedback from internal teams, external developers, pilots, and partner integrations to improve the platform quickly. Backend Engineering * Build Java-based backend services that support real-time, high-trust payment workflows with strong performance, observability, security, and operational discipline. * Own features from design through implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, and iteration. * Contribute to design reviews, code reviews, service documentation, production readiness, and a culture of high-quality engineering. ## Related Videos - [Teaching agents to pay: what devs need to know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100334-teaching-agents-to-pay-what-devs-need-to-know) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Stop using Node.js like in 2020!
