About the Role
Dorsia is seeking a Payments Engineer to own the entire financial layer of our platform. This spans member dining payments, billing and renewals, dining credits and redemptions, operator reconciliation, and corporate account management for our B2B products.

- Support corporate and B2B billing surfaces that sit alongside the consumer product.
- Implement and maintain PCI-compliant data handling practices across all payments.
Restaurant and Operator Integrations
- Own integrations with POS systems and restaurant technology platforms including SevenRooms, Toast, and Square.
- Build robust, fault-tolerant integration layers that account for the operational realities of restaurant systems in production.
- Design operator-side reconciliation and payout flows, as well as integration architecture that scales to new venues and markets smoothly.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work with the Finance team on reconciliation, reporting, and the downstream workflows that depend on accurate transaction data.
- Collaborate with the Security Engineering team on fraud controls, access patterns, and the security posture of the financial layer.
- Partner with the Product team to shape how payments experiences evolve across the member app, operator tools, and overall marketplace.

Workplace Philosophy at Dorsia
At Dorsia, we believe that culture eats strategy. The best ideas in the world mean nothing without the right people around the table and the right chemistry between them. We are, unapologetically, a people-first organization.
In-Person Matters
We’re creating once-in-a-lifetime experiences for the most discerning audience in the world. That doesn’t happen over Zoom. It happens through collisions: a spark across a desk, a kitchen-side conversation that unlocks a partnership, the energy of ideas felt, not typed. That’s why in-office culture is non-negotiable at Dorsia.
Who We Hire
We don’t subscribe to check-the-box hiring. We hire for merit and mindset, which naturally creates a team with varied backgrounds. What unites us isn’t demographics, it’s a shared vision: to build the social operating system for the cultural vanguard.
Lifestyle Hours
We’re not a 9-to-5 company. Our lifestyle mirrors our members. Early flights, after-work events, and late-night sprints when the work demands it. But we love what we do, and we definitely love a good party.
High Performance Culture
Working at Dorsia isn’t for everyone—and that’s the point. Our culture is designed for builders, not passengers. We move fast, set ambitious standards, and expect people to rise to them. If you have the talent and the drive, this will be a ride to remember.
A Final Word
We’re building something special. It will take long hours and relentless effort. It’s not for everyone. For those with the metabolism, you’ll create something that changes how culture is lived. And that’s the kind of work worth your life’s energy.
