Establish monitoring and reliability practices. Qualifications Deep payment systems experience: built integrations with Stripe, PayPal, or similar; understood authorisation, capture, refunds, webhooks, tokenisation, and fraud prevention. PCI DSS compliance experience: built or maintained PCI‑compliant systems; knows requirements, scope‑reduction strategies, and secure coding practices. AWS cloud experience: production‑level architecture on EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3, etc.; understands cloud security, networking, and infrastructure as code. Distributed systems architecture: designed and built microservices at scale; knows patterns, pitfalls, and reliability principles. High‑volume systems experience: optimised for scale, debugged production incidents, built systems handling serious traffic. Engineering leadership: 3–5+ years of building and leading teams; hiring, talent development, and shipping complex projects on time. Technical depth: can contribute code in Node.js/TypeScript when needed; earns team's respect with sound architecture decisions. Bonus Points Production experience with Node.js/TypeScript microservices. Fintech, payments, or e‑commerce background. Experience with feature flags and gradual rollouts. Remote/distributed team experience. Seniority Level Mid‑Senior level Employment Type Contract Location Remote Salary & Equity €140k–€200k + equity (FinTech) #J-18808-Ljbffr
