Your future contribution

As a Software Engineer (PHP), you will be instrumental in scaling our payment ecosystem. You won’t just be implementing pre-defined tasks; you will be a co-creator of the product. Working in a Platform environment, you will bridge the gap between complex financial logic and a seamless user experience, ensuring our architecture remains resilient under the pressure of high-volume global data.

How you’ll add value

• Partner directly with Product Managers to shape the roadmap. You are expected to bring technical perspectives to the “why” and “what,” not just the “how”
• Lead the technical discovery and implementation of global payment gateways (Adyen, ProcessOut, Checkout.com) as we scale into new territories
• Build and maintain robust payment services using PHP 8.4 and Symfony 7.4
• Work within a modern cloud environment using Docker and Kubernetes to build highly available, fault-tolerant services that remain stable under the demands of global financial traffic
• Use Kibana, Grafana, and New Relic not just for debugging, but to identify performance trends that inform our next product iterations
• Collaborate with the Payment Operations team to automate manual workflows, turning operational pain points into scalable engineering solutions
• Collaborate with Data Engineering to pipe critical financial data into Snowflake and Superset for advanced business intelligence
• You won’t just “fix bugs.” You identify opportunities to improve the product and challenge requirements when you see a better way to achieve a business goal
  
  

You’ll be successful in this role if you

• Have 3+ years of professional experience in backend development (ideally with PHP/Symfony)
• Are able to debate technical trade-offs with Product Managers and Senior Devs to find the most impactful solution
• Have a strong interest in (or experience with) payment processing or financial systems
• Are fluent in English, as you will be working with a distributed team across Europe
• Are flexible to commuting to our Kaunas office for collaborative sessions, while enjoying our flexible hybrid work model
  
  

Nice To Have
