We are looking for a highly skilled Staff Engineer to join our Payouts team, which is responsible for managing the entire end-to-end payouts lifecycle - from creation and business logic definition to processing transactions across multiple countries.

In this role, you will play a key part in designing and scaling the systems that enable reliable, efficient, and compliant payout operations. You will contribute to building and evolving our public APIs and merchant-facing logic, as well as developing integrations with payment providers globally, unifying their capabilities into a consistent and seamless experience for our merchants.

You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure our systems are scalable, resilient, and capable of handling complex, high-volume payout flows. Your expertise in architecture and Java-based systems will be critical in driving technical decisions, improving system performance, and maintaining high standards of reliability.

This role requires a strong systems-thinking mindset and the ability to understand the full payouts lifecycle, including its operational and regulatory challenges. You will play a key role in shaping the future of our payouts platform and enhancing how funds are moved across our global network.
