Application Development & Platform Engineering

• Design, develop, and maintain backend services, APIs, and integrations supporting payment transaction flows.
• Implement scalable and resilient software components capable of handling high transaction throughput and concurrent processing.
• Maintain and enhance existing legacy systems while contributing to modernization initiatives.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code following secure coding standards and engineering best practices.
• Participate in system design discussions including performance optimization, database design, and distributed processing strategies.

Production Reliability & Support

• Troubleshoot production issues, perform root cause analysis, and implement preventive improvements.
• Collaborate with DevOps and infrastructure teams to ensure applications meet availability, latency, and reliability targets.
• Support operational readiness including monitoring improvements, alert tuning, and deployment validation.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives to reduce system risk and improve service uptime.

Engineering Collaboration & Delivery

• Work closely with Product, QA, DevOps, and Integration teams to deliver new payment features and enhancements.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies, sprint planning, backlog refinement, and delivery tracking.
• Conduct peer code reviews to maintain high code quality and knowledge sharing.
• Maintain technical documentation including architecture notes, integration guidelines, and operational runbooks.

AI-Assisted Development & R&D Innovation

• Leverage AI-powered developer tools to improve code quality, accelerate development cycles, and automate repetitive engineering tasks.
• Participate in research and experimentation on AI use cases such as automated code refactoring and legacy modernization, intelligent log analysis and anomaly detection, and AI-assisted test case generation and coverage improvement.
• Collaborate with R&D teams to prototype intelligent platform capabilities such as predictive scaling signals, fraud pattern insights, or operational automation workflows.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field.
• Minimum 3 years experience in backend software development.
• Strong experience with LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP) or similar backend technologies.
• Experience developing RESTful APIs, integration services, and data processing components.
• Solid understanding of data structures and algorithms, database performance and query optimization, asynchronous processing or queue-based workflows, and system scalability and reliability concepts.
• Experience using version control systems such as Git.
• Familiarity with Agile development methodologies.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working in Payment Gateway, FinTech, Banking, or high-transaction platforms.
• Exposure to payment integrations, reconciliation workflows, or financial reporting systems.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure such as AWS or GCP.
• Familiarity with containerization technologies such as Docker or Kubernetes.
• Experience working with Redis / CouchDB / MongoDB, messaging systems (RabbitMQ / Kafka), observability tools, or AI coding assistants, automation tools, or developer productivity platforms.
