Fullstack Software Engineer - Embedded Payments

About the role

Join our Embedded Payments team as a Full-Stack Software Engineer to make a real impact every day. You'll help build and scale our cloud-native payment orchestration platform that processes significant transaction volume across multiple Xplor brands. You are passionate about building scalable systems and great user experiences while maintaining software development best practices. You write code that is thoughtful end-to-end — from the API contract down to the database, and from the data model up through the UI. You're comfortable owning features across the stack and collaborating closely with backend, frontend, QA, and DevOps engineers to deliver high-quality software.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React (CRA), Material-UI, JavaScript
• Testing: Jest, ESLint, Prettier, Storybook, Playwright, K6
• Backend: Node.js, AWS (ECS, RDS/Aurora PostgreSQL, API Gateway, Lambda, Cognito, SQS, EventBridge)
• DevOps: Bitbucket Pipelines, Terraform
• Payments: Worldpay, Stripe, Apple Pay / Google Pay

Responsibilities

• Execute the full software development lifecycle across both backend services and frontend interfaces
• Design and build well-tested, well-documented features that span APIs, data models, and UI
• Produce technical specifications and assess operational feasibility for new payments features
• 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
• Use AI-assisted development tools effectively to improve velocity without compromising quality
• Stay current with platform updates, security practices, and PCI compliance requirements

Requirements

• 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a Computer Science/Engineering degree or equivalent
• Strong Node.js experience and demonstrated ability to ship production backend services
• Experience building React-based frontends that consume RESTful APIs
• Experience designing and building RESTful APIs and microservices
• Working knowledge of relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred) and clear understanding of separation of concerns in service design
• Hands-on experience with AWS or a comparable cloud platform
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket Pipelines, GitHub Actions, or similar)
• Proficiency with Git, agile delivery (Scrum preferred), and testing frameworks like Jest
• Fluency with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) and an articulate point of view on where they help and where they don't
• Comfortable working on a 100% remote team and able to operate independently within an agile group

Nice to have

• Experience building or operating payments systems — payment orchestration, tokenization, acquirer integrations (Worldpay, Stripe, Adyen, Finix, Basis Theory), or PCI-compliant environments
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures (SQS, EventBridge, Kafka)
• Exposure to observability tooling (SigNoz, Grafana, Datadog, etc.)
• Infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform)

Pay

The average base salary pay range for this position is $95,000 to $105,000.

Schedule

This is a 100% remote position available to candidates located in the U.S., excluding Hawaii and Alaska.

Benefits

• Paid Parental Leave benefit programs
• #GiveBackDays/Commitment to social impact – 3 extra days off to volunteer and give back to your local community
• Ongoing dedication to Diversity & Inclusion initiatives such as D&I Council, Global Mentorship Program
• Access to free mental health support
• Flexible working arrangements
