The posting

Full Stack Engineer / POD Lead – Payments Platform

hybrid work—two days a week from the office in Kraków

We are looking for an experienced Full Stack Engineer who is ready to take on a POD Lead role, combining hands-on engineering with team leadership. You will work on a global payments platform enabling fast, secure, and scalable money transfers across multiple channels.

This is a backend-heavy fullstack role with real ownership over architecture, delivery, and team coordination.

What you’ll be doing

  • Designing, building, and maintaining microservices and applications using Java (11/17/21) and React
  • Leading a distributed development team (including an offshore POD) and ensuring smooth delivery
  • Driving modernization initiatives (moving from legacy systems to APIs and microservices)
  • Improving test automation, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps practices
  • Increasing system efficiency and Straight-Through Processing (STP)
  • Collaborating with stakeholders and translating business needs into technical solutions

What we’re looking for

  • Strong experience with Java (11+) and Spring/Spring Boot
  • Hands-on experience with microservices, REST APIs, and distributed systems
  • Solid knowledge of Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines
  • Experience working in Unix/Linux environments
  • Strong understanding of SQL databases (Oracle is a plus)
  • Experience with JavaScript and React
  • Background in DevOps-oriented teams and ways of working
  • Experience with application monitoring/observability tools
  • Very strong English skills (daily work with international teams)

Nice to have

  • Experience in payments, fintech, or high-scale transactional systems
  • Exposure to legacy system migration (e.g. mainframe/WebSphere)
  • Experience with event-driven architecture (Kafka, messaging systems)

Leadership aspect (POD Lead)

  • Leading and mentoring a team of engineers
  • Coordinating work across locations (including India-based team)
  • Ensuring delivery quality, ownership, and alignment with business goals
  • Staying hands-on technically while guiding architectural decisions

What you get

  • Real ownership over architecture and delivery
  • Work on a complex, high-impact global platform
  • Modern tech stack and engineering practices
  • A role that combines coding + leadership (not just management)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
