Skills

• 2+ years of PHP/Java web application software engineering experience
• Solid working knowledge of MySQL or PostgreSQL - you can write efficient queries and understand indexing basics

• Familiarity with modern infrastructure tooling (e.g., DataDog, GitHub Actions, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS)
• Understands the value of logging, metrics, and monitoring, and actively contributes to observability in the systems they work on
• Ownership mindset: You take responsibility for the quality and reliability of your work. You don't wait to be told what needs fixing - you flag it, follow through, and close the loop with your team

• Security and compliance awareness: You may not be a PCI expert, but you understand why it matters. You default to secure patterns and ask the right questions when you're unsure
• Collaboration under pressure: You communicate clearly when things break, contribute to investigations without needing full context upfront, and stay composed in high-urgency moments
• Continuous learning: You're ready to learn. You're curious about how systems connect beyond your immediate scope. You learn from senior engineers, absorb domain context quickly, and aren't shy about asking why
• Familiarity with PCI-DSS, GDPR, or other compliance frameworks - even if just operating within a compliant environment
• Experience working in payments, fintech, or any domain where transaction accuracy and data integrity are non-negotiable
• Exposure to Domain-Driven Design concepts or experience working within a codebase that follows its patterns
