Job Description
Lead Software Engineer managing OrderYOYO's payments platform and engineering team growth. Driving technical strategy and ensuring reliability in payment processing systems.
Responsibilities:
- Lead the people, architecture, and delivery behind OrderYOYO's payments platform — enabling KYC onboarding, deductions, settlement/payout timing, dispute flows, and merchant invoicing — while growing a high-performing engineering team and raising the bar on reliability, security, and engineering quality in one of our most business-critical domains.
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of payments engineers — providing hands-on technical guidance, regular feedback, and clear paths for career development.
- Own hiring and team-building for the payments engineering function, partnering with recruiting to define role profiles, run interviews, and bring in strong talent.
- Build a team culture where payments knowledge is documented and shared, not tribal — through design reviews, standards, and mentoring.
- Represent the payments engineering team in leadership and cross-functional conversations, translating business needs into technical strategy and team priorities.
- Set the technical direction and long-term architecture strategy for payment-domain services, including gateway integrations, payment intent/authorisation/capture/refund flows, payout orchestration, and reconciliation.
- Raise engineering quality in a high-change domain: automated testing, safe rollouts/canaries, observability, and incident-response improvements, with accountability for outcomes across the team.
Requirements:
- Proven experience leading, mentoring, or people-managing a team of software engineers — including hiring, performance management, and career development.
- Strong backend engineering background in distributed systems — microservices, async processing, resilient APIs, and eventual consistency.
- Production experience with payment flows (auth/capture/refund, webhooks, reconciliation) and “money correctness” patterns such as idempotency keys, double-entry thinking, and auditability.
- A solid security mindset: PCI compliance, PII protection, secrets management, least privilege, and secure coding practices.
- Comfort working in an Azure-first environment (APIs, queues/eventing, monitoring), with strong CI/CD and automated testing practices.
- Clear, confident communication with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders in high-stakes scenarios — incidents, financial breaks, and compliance requests.
- Strong judgement on when to move fast, when to standardise, and when to say “not yet” with evidence — balancing team capacity, technical debt, and business priorities.
Benefits:
- Competitive salary
- A remote role — work from wherever you do your best work, with quarterly in-person gatherings at one of our global offices.
- High ownership and autonomy, with a direct hand in shaping the team you lead.
- A clear leadership mandate, with scope to grow further into broader engineering management responsibilities.
- The opportunity to lead work on revenue-critical production systems.
- A strong focus on security, reliability, and engineering best practices.
- A collaborative, international engineering team.
- Real emphasis on learning, mentoring, and long-term growth — for you and for the people you lead.
