Job description

We’re working with a fast-growing technology company that’s building country-level identity and payment solutions designed to reduce fraud, streamline operations, and improve user experience. As part of their expansion, they’re hiring a Lead Full Stack Developer to help shape the future of their consumer payments platform.

This is a senior role with genuine ownership – not just of the codebase, but of the team, the product, and its evolution. You’ll be hands-on in both building and leading, working closely with product and operations to drive forward scalable, secure systems in a high-growth, fast-paced environment.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Designing and building robust, scalable features for the company’s core payments platform

  • Leading a development squad, mentoring team members, and driving best practices

  • Taking full ownership of your squad’s outcomes and deliverables

  • Solving complex technical challenges and contributing to architectural decisions

  • Collaborating with operations to ensure the product is deployable, maintainable, and secure

  • Reviewing, debugging, and validating code – including from outsourced development teams

  • Driving continuous improvement and contributing to a culture of innovation

  • Representing engineering in discussions with external vendors and partners

What we’re looking for:

  • 8+ years of development experience using Java (experience with .NET is a bonus)

  • Strong background in Spring Boot, Spring Security, and building RESTful APIs

  • Experience with Jakarta Faces (JSF) or Flutter

  • 2+ years of experience with Postgres

  • Deep understanding of design patterns, secure coding, multithreaded programming, and data structures

  • Background in banking, payments, or working with card networks is a plus

  • Strong communication skills and the ability to lead, mentor, and grow a team

  • Proven ability to work across functions in a fast-moving, delivery-focused environment

This is a remote-friendly, senior-level opportunity to have a major impact on the technical direction of a high-potential product. If you're a full stack leader who thrives in ownership-heavy roles and has the technical depth to match, we’d love to speak with you.
