Note: This is NOT a Business Development role. We need a hands-on builder who owns the payment stack from code to processor.
Responsibilities
Build, optimize, and protect a complex high-risk payment operation. When a MID or processor goes down, you don’t panic—you already know how to reroute and get processing moving again.
Requirements
💻 5+ years in Backend Engineering
💳 3+ years specifically building payments (personally shipped PSP/acquirer integrations to production)
🔄 Hands-on expertise in routing, cascading & retry logic
📈 Proven track record in approval-rate optimization
🌍 Experience handling $4M+ monthly high-risk volume & 10+ live MIDs across multiple entities
🛡️ Deep knowledge of chargebacks, fraud prevention & scheme monitoring
🤝 Strong existing relationships with PSPs and acquirers
Industry Context:
Experience in high-risk verticals (iGaming, FX, dating, adult 18+) is highly relevant. Please note: The company operates in the adult (18+) digital content sector.
Benefits
🌍 Fully Remote
💰 Competitive base salary + performance-related upside
🚀 Full autonomy to build and own the payments function from the ground up
