• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and infrastructure leaders to shape both technical vision and product strategy. 

Qualifications 

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field. 

• 12–15+ years of software engineering experience, with proven success in large-scale distributed systems. 

• Deep expertise in full-stack development (Java, Go, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or equivalent). 

• Hands-on architecture and design experience with microservices, event-driven systems, APIs, and real-time data processing. 

• Strong fundamentals in algorithms, data structures, concurrency, and system design. 

• Proven ability to deliver rapidly and reliably in fast-paced, high-growth environments. 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Master’s or PhD in Computer Science or related technical discipline. 

• Payment systems experience at top global fintech companies (e.g., Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, JusPay, AliPay, Visa, Adyen, Square, Mastercard). 

• Hands-on experience building and deploying AI Agents (GenAI, RAG, workflow automation, LLMs) into production-scale systems. 

• Deep knowledge of distributed microservices, cloud-native architectures (Kubernetes, containerization, serverless), and multi-region scaling. 

• Experience in dealing with and resolving the issues that occur when an organization grows in size and the systems get complicated 

• Publications, patents, or open-source contributions in distributed systems, payments, or AI applications. 

• Fluent English (Korean a plus); strong communication skills with global stakeholders.
