Backend engineer (Go)- Payments Experience

About the team

The Payments Experience team sits at the heart of how millions of small businesses receive their money. We build and maintain the backend services that power payout settings, payout instruments, and the tooling that keeps payments flowing reliably across 37 markets. Right now, the team is working through a meaningful technical challenge: migrating legacy services off an ageing platform database while continuing to deliver new capabilities for merchants and internal teams. This is a great opportunity to join a small, focused squad where your contributions are visible, your code matters, and there's real space to grow your craft in a complex fintech domain.

• Build and ship features within the Payments Experience domain, including payout instrument flexibility per market and tooling to manage SUBA availability for sales teams
• Support the ongoing maintenance and operational health of the team's backend services, keeping them stable and reliable
• Contribute to decommissioning a legacy Ruby service that manages payout settings in the Dashboard and SuperApp, including cleaning up dependencies for a smooth transition
• Help remove Platform DB dependencies from the Bank Accounts service as part of a broader migration effort
• Take part in planning and refinement sessions, sharing technical assessments and effort estimates with the team

You'll be great for this role if you have:

• Strong hands-on experience building applications in Go, with a solid grasp of core language concepts and the standard library.
• Comfortable working within microservices architectures and implementing or consuming RESTful APIs.
• Good knowledge of SQL databases, particularly PostgreSQL, and ability to write clean, efficient queries.
• Familiarity with containerised deployments using Kubernetes and experience working with AWS.
• Open to feedback, motivated to solve real engineering problems, and comfortable navigating multi-language codebases (the team works across Go and Ruby).
