• Integrate components into cohesive, production-ready systems with appropriate observability
• Contribute to verification plans, quality assurance procedures, and deployment guardrails
• Maintain and improve existing functionality, including documentation
• Participate in deployment planning, on-call rotations, and incident response as part of running a payments platform

• Xplor does not sponsor visas, either at the time of hire or at any later time
