Paddle offers SaaS companies a completely different approach to their payment infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a Merchant of Record for our customers. That means we take away 100% of the pain of payment fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and, above all, way better.
We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North and serve over 3000 software sellers in 245 territories globally.
The role:
As a Senior Software Engineer within our Payments Platform team, you'll play a key role in both maintaining and developing our critical checkout, tax, and payment systems. You'll take the lead on tasks related to discovering new features and planning their implementation. Additionally, you'll be actively involved in new projects, providing valuable technical expertise and shaping the future of our payments platform.
This role will involve contributing to the maintenance and evolution of our backend services. You'll be responsible for the ongoing development and improvement of our checkout service built with Laravel and other Go services related to payments and tax. While experience with Go is a plus, we're open to enthusiastic PHP developers who are eager to learn Go and contribute to its codebase.
Tech stack:
PHP and Laravel for checkout and our legacy system
Go for our new services
Docker in production and local development
gRPC for internal services running on AWS Fargate
AWS lambda for event-based services
AWS SQS for our asynchronous message queues
MySQL and Postgres for persistent data storage
Redis for key/value store
-
Terraform and Cloudformation for infrastructure management
What you'll do:
Develop high traffic APIs used by hundreds of thousands users per month

Practise DevOps, you’re responsible for getting your code to production and supporting it
Use the latest AWS services available to run your code
Help design a stable platform to support phenomenal growth

We'd love to hear from you if you:
You have a development background with PHP
You have some experience in Go or you are eager to learn it
You have experience designing and building systems to handle high traffic at scale in a cloud-based environment in AWS
You enjoy collaborating with our technical and non-technical departments
You proactively find ways to improve the code and team processes
