Own the design and implementation of payment service provider (PSP) integrations, including orchestration across multiple PSPs, routing logic, and failover strategies.
Define and drive best practices for PSP integration patterns (e.g., API contracts, idempotency, error handling, retries, webhooks/callbacks), ensuring consistency and reliability across providers.
Partner with Product, Security, Compliance, and Finance to ensure our payment systems align with industry standards and regulations.
Take the initiative to identify and solve important problems, making balanced trade-offs with respect to the whole system and business value.
Evangelize OOP principles, clean code practices, and design patterns, and hold a high bar for code quality, reliability, and maintainability in payments and beyond.
Research, evaluate, and propose new technologies, tools, and payment solutions that can improve our platform and accelerate delivery.
Provide support and guidance to less experienced peers, acting as a mentor and role model for engineers across multiple teams.
