Role Summary –

As a Backend Engineer in the Pricing & Packaging R&D crew, you’ll help build our monetization platform from the ground up: pricing and packaging engines that power a global payments platform. You’ll work end-to-end on features – from discovery and design through implementation, testing, deployment, and monitoring – using modern AWS-based technologies and leveraging modern AI tools, while maintaining best engineering practices and high quality. This is a chance to join early, influence how things are built, and grow with the team.

What You’ll Do –

• Collaborate closely with Product, Design/UX, DevOps, and other R&D teams to understand business needs and translate them into technical solutions, covering full development lifecycle: discovery, design, implementation, code reviews, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
• Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs for pricing, packaging, and monetization flows, in Node.js and C# over relational and document-based databases (SQL, MongoDB), running on AWS, using containers and Kubernetes.
• Write clean, maintainable, and testable code, following engineering best practices.
• Integrate with message brokers (e.g., Kafka, SQS, RabbitMQ) to build robust, event-driven services.
• Contribute to improving our CI/CD pipelines, observability, and production readiness (logs, metrics, alerts, dashboards).
• Continuously learn and share knowledge with the team, contributing to a culture of excellence, ownership and continuous improvement while building each other up.
  
  

• B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
• 6+ years of experience with backend development in Node.js, preferably combined with practical experience in C#.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience with relational databases and advanced SQL (MSSQL/Oracle/MySQL/PostgreSQL, etc.).
• Strong experience building SaaS or cloud-based platforms, preferably on AWS.
• Solid experience with containers and Kubernetes (K8s); EKS experience is an advantage.
• Strong experience with message brokers (e.g., Kafka/SQS/RabbitMQ) and event-driven architectures.
• Proven experience designing and building microservices in production environments.
• Deep understanding of OOP, design patterns, and clean architecture principles.
• Strong sense of ownership, accountability, and product mindset – you care about business impact as much as technical elegance.
• Experience with engineering best practices: code reviews, unit/integration testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and Agile methodologies.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills; comfortable leading discussions and aligning multiple stakeholders.
• Ambitious, curious, and eager to learn and introduce new technologies and practices where they add value.
