Software Engineer - Go

What do we do?

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:

Dashboard team owns the seller dashboard, customer portal and other applications, which require new features and improvements as we scale to serve a rapidly growing number of sellers. The team is part of the Billing group, which is responsible for transaction processing, subscriptions, customer data and more. We often work with a range of other teams, including Payments, InfoSec, Platform (SRE) & DX.

You’ll get to collaborate with multiple teams, alongside engineers, product managers, and designers. Getting involved in a wide range of areas which will provide you with plenty of opportunities to develop your own skills and ultimately grow your career as a valued member of the engineering team.

What you'll do:

• Work on backend services in one of our supported languages (primarily with Go or at times with legacy services in PHP) to support critical applications used by a global network of sellers & customers, used by hundreds of thousands of users per month
• Collaborate on features to a high standard, pairing with other engineers when necessary, as well as working independently
• Practise DevOps, you’re responsible for getting your code to production, supporting and monitoring its performance via SLOs
• Use the latest AWS services available to run your code
