Scope and Key Accountabilities of Role:

The Payments Team is responsible for building and maintaining companys’s internal payments infrastructure — a robust, in-house alternative to third-party providers. The team supports all critical components of our financial ecosystem, including payment processing, authentication (e.g., 3DS), transaction flows, risk management, and revenue recognition.

As part of a strategic initiative to expand our global presence and to accelerate opportunities in Payments-driven revenue we’re building an entirely new Payments team based in Poland. The entire team, including engineering manager, product manager, and data scientist will be based on Poland. As a member of this new team, you’ll have the unique opportunity to shape the technical direction, culture, and processes of a high-impact engineering group from the ground up.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and cross-functional partners (Billing, Financial Data Engineering, etc.) to deliver reliable payments functionality.

• Design, build, test, and maintain backend services and APIs powering financial transactions.

• Work with metrics and logging systems to ensure visibility and observability of the payment infrastructure.

IC2:

• Focused on delivering high-quality, production-grade code on time.

• Strong contributor to the team’s coding efforts and reviews.

• Works on well-defined problems with guidance from more senior engineers.

IC3:

• Owns end-to-end execution of moderately complex projects.

• Independently designs systems and proposes solutions that balance trade-offs.

• Regularly collaborates with other teams and helps guide junior engineers.

IC4:

• Acts as a technical lead across projects and teams.

• Sets long-term technical direction and ensures engineering excellence.

• Drives cross-team collaboration and mentors other engineers (IC2 & IC3).

• Develops intuitive product instincts and uses data to shape technical and product strategy.

What skills you will need:

• Professional experience in backend engineering, preferably with large-scale systems.

• Proficiency in any backend programming language (we’re using Python in Payments, but being language agnostic we know the language is mainly the tool).

• Solid understanding of distributed systems, transactions, and service reliability.

• Strong communication skills, particularly when working across time zones.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with payment systems or financial transaction infrastructure.

• Experience with observability tools (Grafana, Prometheus).

• Passion for mentoring and fostering technical growth within teams (especially IC4)

• Experience with platforms like Databricks for data engineering and analytics is a plus.

IV process:

1. Interview process – Interview with Senior Engineer 1 round interview technical questions. Maybe a coding test with Python probably live on call.

2. Characteristics – collaborative is the main characteristic they see work but basically if they can code they are good
