Design, build, and operate the core payment platform (Stripe and other PSP integrations, webhook consumers, ledgering, retries, and reconciliation) that every other squad plugs into
Make our payment path resilient under heavy traffic spikes, especially during on-sale moments, with load-shedding, queuing, and async confirmation flows that keep the buyer experience smooth
Strengthen our asynchronous architecture around PSP webhooks: handle out-of-order events, replays, partial failures and so on
Model and evolve complex money flows across multiple countries, currencies, and stakeholders: split payments, payouts, refunds and chargebacks, marketplace fees, VAT and sales tax across Europe, the US, and LATAM
Drive regulatory and compliance topics end-to-end and turn them into durable, scalable product solutions
Bring compliance work into product-owned systems, with proper data models, audit trails, and automation
Partner closely with the rest of the squad and stakeholders across legal, finance, ops, and other engineering squads, surfacing compliance and scalability implications

You have significant experience with Stripe or another PSP (Adyen, Mangopay, Braintree, etc.) in production
You have strong knowledge of asynchronous, event-driven architectures, with a clear sense of how to keep PSP webhooks correct at scale
You're comfortable designing for spiky traffic patterns and have shipped systems that hold up when traffic jumps significantly in a short window
You have a strong grasp of complex money flows and how to model them properly (ledgers, split payments, multi-currency, fees, refunds, and the usual pitfalls)
Compliance and regulation are product problems to you and you're comfortable engaging directly with legal, finance, and business stakeholders
You're pragmatic about technical debt and bug volume, and prefer investing in the right abstraction over patching a leaky one
You have a prior experience working with international teams on money, compliance, and local regulations
You believe in measuring what matters: you define clear SLIs and SLOs for the systems you own, track them rigorously and share the numbers with stakeholders
