Staff Engineer

Role Description

We're hiring a Staff Engineer to set the technical direction for our Integrations domain — the 130+ provider integrations and 95+ webhooks that connect Yuno's platform to PSPs, acquirers, payment gateways, fraud and 3DS providers worldwide.

This is an individual-contributor role with domain-level scope, reporting directly to the VP of Engineering. You won't own a feature or a service — you'll own how the entire integration platform evolves:

• The patterns every integration follows
• The frameworks the squads build on
• The quality bar for production
• The architectural decisions that will still hold up at 5x our current scale

You’ll lead through influence, not headcount: aligning multiple squads, coaching Senior engineers, and partnering with Product, Compliance, and Security on the trade-offs that shape the domain.

If you've been the most senior IC on a payments or integrations platform and want to do it again at a company growing into its global scale, this is that role.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of backend engineering experience building high-throughput, production-grade systems in Go, Java, or Kotlin — with at least 3 years operating at Senior/Staff/Lead level.
• Demonstrated track record of leading architectural decisions adopted by multiple teams — not just within your own squad.
• Direct experience in payments, fintech, or PCI-regulated systems — integrations with PSPs, acquirers, fraud/3DS providers, or comparable regulated infrastructure.
• Deep expertise in microservices, event-driven architectures, APIs, and integration patterns at scale.
• Strong experience with SQL and relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred); comfort with caching, queues, and async pipelines.
• Experience defining technical standards, frameworks, or platform abstractions that other teams build on.
• Working knowledge of secure software development, OWASP, and PCI-DSS principles.
• Comfort using AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Copilot, or similar) as a core part of your workflow — and an opinion on where they help vs. hurt.
• Ability to communicate complex technical topics clearly to engineers, Product, and executive audiences alike.
• Demonstrated experience mentoring and growing other engineers.
• Full professional proficiency in English — written and spoken.

Requirements

• Prior Staff or Principal Engineer title at a payments orchestrator, PSP, gateway, or fintech infrastructure company.
• Contributions to integration frameworks, payment orchestration platforms, or open-source projects in the payments / fintech space.
• Experience scaling integrations across multiple regions (LATAM, APAC, EMEA, NA) and the regulatory regimes that come with them.
• Public technical writing, conference talks, or other evidence of external technical voice.
• Hands-on experience with cloud and DevOps environments (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes).

Benefits

• Competitive Compensation.
• Remote Work — work from anywhere.
• Home Office Bonus — a one-time allowance to set up your ideal workspace.
• Work Equipment.
• Stock Options.
• Health Plan wherever you are.
• Flexible Days Off.
