Explore a new world of possibilities
Your future contribution
As a Software Engineer (PHP), you will be instrumental in scaling our payment ecosystem. You won’t just be implementing pre-defined tasks; you will be a co-creator of the product. Working in a Platform environment, you will bridge the gap between complex financial logic and a seamless user experience, ensuring our architecture remains resilient under the pressure of high-volume global data.
How you’ll add value
- Partner directly with Product Managers to shape the roadmap. You are expected to bring technical perspectives to the “why” and “what,” not just the “how”
- Lead the technical discovery and implementation of global payment gateways (Adyen, ProcessOut, Checkout.com) as we scale into new territories
- Build and maintain robust payment services using PHP 8.4 and Symfony 7.4
- Work within a modern cloud environment using Docker and Kubernetes to build highly available, fault-tolerant services that remain stable under the demands of global financial traffic
- Use Kibana, Grafana, and New Relic not just for debugging, but to identify performance trends that inform our next product iterations
- Collaborate with the Payment Operations team to automate manual workflows, turning operational pain points into scalable engineering solutions
- Collaborate with Data Engineering to pipe critical financial data into Snowflake and Superset for advanced business intelligence
- You won’t just “fix bugs.” You identify opportunities to improve the product and challenge requirements when you see a better way to achieve a business goal
You’ll be successful in this role if you
- Have 3+ years of professional experience in backend development (ideally with PHP/Symfony)
- Are able to debate technical trade-offs with Product Managers and Senior Devs to find the most impactful solution
- Have a strong interest in (or experience with) payment processing or financial systems
- Are fluent in English, as you will be working with a distributed team across Europe
- Are flexible to commuting to our Kaunas office for collaborative sessions, while enjoying our flexible hybrid work model
Nice to have:
- Previous experience with Adyen or similar PSPs, or a background in building KYC/onboarding flows
- Experience working with K8s and Docker environments
What we offer
- Career of growth opportunities and promotions, 360 feedback, performance evaluation system, and mentoring from an international and distinguished team
- Culture of empowerment, trust, recognition, autonomy and quarterly transparency about company goals. A focus on work-life balance, combined with consistent collaboration and support from a team of 30+ nationalities
- Compensation of attractive salary, health insurance, additional holidays, flexible working hours, language courses, employee-led workshops, office perks, frequent team building and company events, business trips to Berlin
