Senior Software Engineer (Go)

About the Role

As a Senior Software Engineer in our Payments and Checkout Group, you will play a crucial role in developing features, testing hypotheses, and rolling out changes to enhance payment acceptance and checkout conversion. You will work closely with your team to impact how our Payments and Checkout technologies perform for our customers.

Key Responsibilities

• Be a part of our Payments and Checkout group, working on projects that aim to improve payment acceptance, checkout conversion, global compliance, and local acquiring.
• Contribute high-quality Go code in a large codebase, in both existing and brand new services.
• Collaborate on features to a high standard from initial concept and planning, right through to rollout, with other engineers and non-technical colleagues, and with excellent written and verbal communication.
• Level-up the team’s engineering practices through mentoring other engineers, and by leading the technical planning of team initiatives.
• Help to continuously improve the reliability and scalability of Paddle’s high-traffic event-driven system.
• Improve the team’s software quality by implementing automated tests, and also by having an eye for edge-cases and system design.
• Practise DevOps: you’re responsible for getting your code to production, supporting and monitoring its performance, and helping to keep our AWS infrastructure efficient.

What We Are Looking For

• Solid development background with Go.
• Experience designing and building systems to handle high traffic at scale in a cloud-based environment in AWS.
• Enjoy collaborating with our technical and non-technical departments.
• Proactive attitude towards finding ways to improve the code and team processes.
• Strong understanding of the development process - from design through to deployment, maintenance, and what that means for day-to-day development.
• Pride in what you build.
• Interest in new tools and techniques you could introduce to us.
