Join a High-Growth Global Fintech, Renowned for Delivering World-Class Payments Technology


Are you ready to help architect the next generation of payments technology at a fast-scaling, global fintech?

This high-growth global fintech is known for delivering world-class payments-related software and infrastructure. Their mission is to power the merchant-first ecosystem of tomorrow-responsibly, radically, and relentlessly.

They believe in small, empowered teams with big impact. They believe in outcomes over outputs. And most importantly, they believe that ambitious technologists like you can help shape the future of commerce.

What Drives Them

Small Teams. Big Impact.

They keep things lean. They give their teams the autonomy, tools, and clarity they need-and then let them do what they do best. No red tape. No unnecessary processes.

Grow, Evolve, Thrive.

They're obsessed with learning. Whether it's trying out new ideas, mastering your stack, or solving hard problems with creative engineering, this is a place where you'll constantly grow.

Solving Real Problems for Real People.

They don't build tech for the sake of it. They build elegant, scalable solutions that solve real-world problems for merchants around the globe-and they do it together.

The Role

As the Software Architect, you'll be the technical force behind the architecture of their cutting-edge API, switch, and gateway platforms.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure technology aligns with business goals.

  • Advocate for scalable, secure, and performant design solutions.

  • Stay ahead of emerging tech trends and guide build vs. buy decisions.

  • Be hands-on-contribute to code, architecture reviews, and strategic planning.

  • Strong background with .NET, Java, or similar language(s).

  • Strong communicator and collaborator-comfortable engaging at all levels.

  • Strategic thinker with a bias for action and experimentation.

  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and thriving in fast-paced environments.

Bonus Points


  • Payments industry experience.

  • Background in large-scale systems and real-time architecture.

  • A passion for elegant solutions and clean abstractions.

Why Join Them?


  • Impact at Scale: Be part of a company powering thousands of businesses worldwide.
