Currently we are looking for engineers to join our Feature Platform team. The team helps our merchants by enabling machine-learning powered products within the payment flow to discover, create and leverage complex features. This includes building data pipelines and maintaining frameworks to create aggregations in both batch and real time, as well as a distributed storage layer that can serve these features in milliseconds to our real time payment flow across the globe.

We offer a unique opportunity to work on the industry cutting-edge: given the volume and constraints that come with near real-time decision-making, there is no industry-standard solution.

• You will be fully responsible from its initial design to bringing new functionality live.
• Identify and improve parts of the platform to make it more robust and scalable.
• Collaborate across teams and time zones to make things happen, review code and be open to feedback.

Who you are:

• You have proven experience working with programming languages such as Python and JVM-based languages (e.g. Java, Kotlin, Scala), distributed systems, and large-scale databases (both relational and non-relational).
• Understanding of data pipelines and ETL processes for preparing and managing data for ML training and inference.
• Proficiency with observability tools, such as - Prometheus, Logsearch, Kibana and Grafana.
• You like taking ownership, leading projects and involving others, based on a solid understanding of the “why” behind it.
• You have great communication skills and the ability to articulate complex, technical concepts.
• We are an international team, so we need you to have full professional proficiency (written and verbal) in English.
• Familiarity with integrating Machine Learning into real-world systems is a plus.
• Previous experience working on platform teams or with open-sourcing internal projects would be a plus.
• Our Tech Stack - Cassandra, Kafka, Flink, Spark, Airflow, Python, Java, Gradle, PostgreSQL, and Elasticsearch.
