The posting

A hands-on engineering lead who sets technical direction, owns code quality, and builds payment-critical backend services on a modern Java stack, while guiding and growing a team of backend engineers.

What you'll do

  • Provide hands-on technical leadership for backend engineering on a modern Java / Spring Boot stack.
  • Design and build payment-critical backend services and APIs.
  • Own code quality: standards, code review, testing and release readiness.
  • Ensure correctness, reliability and security across the services the team owns.
  • Mentor and grow backend engineers, and work closely with architecture and product.

Requirements

  • 8+ years in Java backend with strong Spring Boot.
  • Proven technical leadership while remaining hands-on in the code.
  • Hands-on payments / fintech experience is required — you have worked on real payment or financial-transaction systems.
  • Hands-on experience with at least one payment processor or gateway (e.g. MPGS, Cybersource or mada). This is a requirement for this role.
  • Strong microservices, REST API design, relational databases and automated testing.
  • Delivery on containers (Kubernetes) with CI/CD.
  • AI-augmented engineering — you actively use AI coding tools such as Claude Code in your day-to-day development. This is a requirement for this role.

Nice to have

  • Experience with more than one payment processor / gateway.
  • Cloud platforms (OCI, AWS or Azure); event-driven systems (Kafka).

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.
