About the Role

You will join the Platform tribe as a Senior Engineer and will help scale PayFit’s practices in delivering an internal developer platform that contributes to product teams' efficiency.

PayFit is transitioning progressively towards a more decoupled architecture, embracing event-driven and following the principles of DDD as the most efficient way to continue to deliver and increase our value proposition iteratively. This also fits in our long-term architecture vision, and relies on a strong internal platform to enable product teams to deliver values in an efficient way.

We scale our observability and reliability capabilities to empower the organization to discover its system improvement opportunities and prioritize them holistically.

We strive to surface actionable KPIs and SLOs to healthily operate and evolve PayFit products for a variety of stakeholders, either technical, product, or business-oriented.

We provide tools, guidelines, knowledge, and policies to deliver and evolve sustainable products.

Key Responsibilities

You will take into consideration constraints of performance, scalability, and security to contribute to the evolution of PayFit’s SaaS architecture. The Senior Engineer role at PayFit involves:

• Delivering high-quality, production-ready code with a strong focus on performance, security, and scalability, while maintaining alignment with PayFit's best practices and standards.
• Writing detailed specifications and documentation for features, understanding their cross-squad impacts, and ensuring successful implementation.
• Foster collaboration and innovation across squads by engaging in open communication, providing constructive feedback, and challenging the status quo.
• Reducing technical debt across multiple squads by proactively proposing and contributing to sustainable solutions and improvements.
• Align with the Engineering Department’s long-term vision by leveraging deep knowledge of the organization, defining squad and tribe goals, and anticipating the impact of work on existing features and teams.
• Supporting and improving observability practices by guiding teams in implementing effective monitoring, logging, and alerting to enhance the reliability and maintainability of PayFit's systems.

Within the Platform tribe, and more specifically along the Infrastructure Developer Experience team that you would work closely with, this also goes along:

• Empowering platform users and driving platform evolutions based on feedback: work with multiple teams on platform-related topics – may it be teams using the platform, or the multiple teams delivering it
