We are on an ambitious, fast-paced mission to 3x our growth by 2028 - and we’re just getting started. Our magic lies in our team of proud payments nerds.

This is a people-first, high trust environment where you’ll have the autonomy to make a massive impact, own your work end-to-end, and grow through broad exposure, meaningful challenges, and continuous learning. We get things done, challenge respectfully, put the customer first, and recognise that our biggest successes are those we create as a team. If you’re ready to leave your footprint on global commerce, join us.   The Purpose: The Boarding domain builds and maintains the platform that onboards merchants onto PPRO's network of the products and services that get our customers live, fast, compliant, and reliable. At the center of it all is the merchant: every system we build, every API we ship, connects internal teams and external clients around getting merchants onboarded smoothly. As a Software Engineer, you own live, public-facing APIs built to handle real scale, take on well-defined but moderately complex problems, work largely independently within the team, and own your piece of the boarding pipeline end-to-end. What you'll be doing: Build, test, and operate services within the Boarding platform, following the "you build it, you run it" mindset Work largely independently on team-scoped tasks, seeking guidance from senior teammates and your manager on ambiguous or cross-team topics Adapt quickly when priorities shift, re-plan your own work, communicate impact, and keep delivery moving without needing to be told twice Take ownership of your commitments: proactively surface risks/blockers, follow through to completion, and hold yourself accountable for outcomes, not just output Write testable, decoupled, readable code; write tests across the pyramid (unit → integration); use our observability stack to understand and improve the services you own Participate in incident response for your team's services, using runbooks and systematic debugging; contribute to blameless postmortems Collaborate closely with peers, other Boarding squads, and stakeholder teams (Compliance, Product, Risk); share knowledge and give/receive feedback openly Bring energy and curiosity to the team, someone others enjoy pairing with and are inspired by What you'll need to bring: Self-driven and with a high sense of ownership/drive - you take a well-defined task and run with it Comfortable with changing priorities; you re-prioritise your own work without losing momentum or morale Strong sense of ownership - you follow through, and you don't wait to be asked twice An engaging,
