Senior Software Engineer

Braintree lets you move money from one place to another safely and securely. Every time you pay for an Uber ride, book a stay through Airbnb, or pay with PayPal when you check out online, you’re probably using our product. It sounds complex (and it is), but we make it so simple you can’t tell we’re there. We solve world-scale problems and provide opportunities to match. We build diverse teams that recognize our strengths and allow us to work on our weaknesses. You bring skills and a relentless focus on the customer, and we'll provide the support you need to do the best work of your life.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Bill Pay Engineering team, you will work on an integrated payment processing service solution for Billing Aggregators that directly contributes to PayPal’s growth. This individual will play a key role on an engineering team that is directly responsible for solving complex engineering problems across multiple tech stacks and contributing to the development of products that span Braintree, Venmo, PayPal, and Hyperwallet.

In your day-to-day role you will work closely with the Bill Pay Architect Lead, program and product management, and domain engineering teams to collaboratively remove barriers for successful execution of our company’s top priorities. You will gain exposure to cross functional technology and business domains such as transaction processing, settlement, pricing, and reporting.

You will have the chance to work on various teams and technology stacks. Although most of our software is written in Ruby, we believe in using the best tool for the job.

Communication is key to our process, and we don't want to hinder it with walls. Many teams program in pairs, which means you always have another set of eyes to help you.

We practice test-driven development and believe that it helps us deliver simple solutions focused on real customer needs. Developers test, release and monitor their own code.

We keep the team in sync with daily stand-ups and have regular retrospectives to discuss things that are going well and opportunities for improvements.

We value unique perspectives brought by diverse backgrounds and experiences. A broad range of ideas and perspectives help us to create the best possible product.

What you need to bring:

• 4+ years of track record writing understandable, testable, and easy-to-maintain software. Doesn’t matter what language, just a focus on writing clean, well designed, and scalable code

• Drive team wide commitment to code quality and standards

• Familiarity with industry design patterns and object-oriented programming 

• Commitment to operational excellence through the development of automation, instrumentation of code, and monitoring solutions

• A bias for continuous improvement, growth, and innovative thinking

• Strong creative problem solving

• Strong collaborator and communicator 

• We know the confidence gap and imposter syndrome can get in the way of meeting spectacular candidates. Please don’t hesitate to apply
