Job Summary

Why This Role Exists
We’re hiring a Senior Engineer to help build the core foundation of pmtbox. This is a full-stack role within a flat engineering team where you will work directly on payments, integrations, risk systems, infrastructure, and databases.You’ll own a spoke end to end — from design to build to launch. This requires a birds-eye understanding of our unified payment architecture, paired with the willingness to get into the weeds and ship real product. We are not hiring a manager. We are hiring a builder.

• End-to-end ownership of a spoke in our hub-and-spoke architecture.
• Full-stack development across backend, frontend, data, infrastructure, and integrations.

• Building merchant-facing tools, payment routing logic, fintech plumbing, and risk-adjacent systems.
• Working closely with founders and engineering to shape architecture and product direction.
• Shipping thoughtful, reliable code that moves the business forward.

Requirements / Qualifications

• Senior-level engineering experience (no specific year count required).
• Experience in fintech/payments or from the merchant side — ideally someone who has lived the pain points we’re solving.
• Comfort in early-stage environments and the fast pace that comes with them.
• Curiosity and willingness to learn our stack:
  • Ruby on Rails (experience not required — curiosity and willingness to learn is)
  • JavaScript
  • Google Cloud
  • Postgres
• Ability to think in systems and understand how your work fits into the larger architecture.
• A bias for action, ownership, and solving real problems without layers or bureaucracy.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with payment routing, card acquiring, underwriting/risk tools, or financial operations systems.
• Experience with multi-tenant systems, real-time workflows, or complex integrations.
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, or observability.
