  • Guide backend and DevOps engineers through execution

What Success Looks Like

  • Clean abstraction layer across PSPs
  • Reduced payment friction
  • Improved authorization rates
  • Modernized checkout infrastructure
  • 8+ years backend engineering experience
  • 4+ years in payments infrastructure
  • Strong knowledge of:
    • REST APIs
    • Webhooks
    • Tokenization
    • Recurring billing logic
    • Card-not-present flows
  • Experience integrating PSPs (e.g., Worldpay, Checkout.com, Adyen, Stripe, etc.)
  • Experience designing high-availability systems

Ideal (Not Required)

  • Gr4vy integration exposure
  • Subscription/SaaS billing systems
  • Gateway-to-direct processor migration projects
  • High-Impact Architecture Project
  • Executive Visibility
  • Competitive Contract Compensation
  • Flexible Remote Structure
  • Clear Scope, Clear Timeline
  • Long-Term Engagement
