• Operational Reliability: Assist in implementing workflow orchestration (Prefect/Airflow) to ensure safe job re-runs and system stability.
• Observability: Help instrument our services with logging and alerting (Grafana/CloudWatch) so we can monitor systems without direct production access.

• Databases: Experience with relational databases, specifically MySQL.
• Clean Code: You write intentional, human-readable code and can explain your implementation choices without relying on AI.
• Curiosity for Product: You care about the business logic and "why" behind the code, especially regarding payment flows and reconciliation.
• Problem Solving: Strong analytical skills and a proactive approach to troubleshooting.
• Collaboration: Participate in agile sprints and maintain clear English communication with the team and stakeholders.

Hiring Process:

• Step 1 – Thinking in Action (40 minutes) Your first conversation will be with our Talent Acquisition team. We'll explore your background, career journey, motivations, and overall fit for the role. As part of this discussion, you'll also complete a short technical screening that will be reviewed by our engineering team. This stage helps us understand both your experience and how you approach technical challenges.
• Step 2 – Build in Production (60–90 minutes) Meet with the Team Lead and technical experts for a practical assessment. Depending on the role, this may involve a live coding exercise or a real-world scenario designed to evaluate your technical skills, problem-solving approach, and ability to work through challenges similar to those faced by our teams.
• Step 3 – Final Interview (45 minutes) The final stage is a group interview with senior members of our Technology squad, which may include the CTO, CPO, and Team Lead. Together, we'll discuss team fit, collaboration style, expectations from both sides, and any remaining questions about the role, team, or technology domain. This is also an opportunity for you to learn more about our culture and ways of working.
