What you need to know about the role: We are looking for highly talented and self-driven engineers to join our team!

You will play a pivotal role in designing and building the next generation of PayPal's developer experience. You will be responsible for building and delivering features for PayPal's Mobile SDKs, maintaining and contributing to open source, and evangelizing and engaging with external developers. We're looking for someone who is eager to learn and able to master many technologies and has a strong focus on empathizing and understanding what developers need. Meet our team: The PayPal SDK Engineering team is seeking to reinvent the way we pay online. Our team is responsible for enabling merchants around the world to accept payments within their mobile apps and websites. We always keep developers and their needs at the top of our mind and strive to provide the best-in-class developer experience.
Your way to impact:
How we work:
  • Communication is key to our process, and we don't want to hinder it with walls. We work directly with other teams.
  • Engineers build, test, release and monitor their own code.
  • We pair program often. We believe that we do our best work when we work and collaborate together.
  • We default to async communication and call for meetings when necessary.
  • We hold 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 and work environment.
Types of projects we work on:
    • We do a lot of open-source development as our SDKs are in public GitHub.
    • We build and support PayPal’s SDKs, which are the primary way for a merchant to accept payments on their websites and mobile apps.
    • We are launching new and interesting ways to pay through our SDKs.
    • We create easy-to-use developer tools that supplement our SDKs and Integrations.
    • We are focused on improving the developer experience by engaging with the external developer community, creating tutorials, blogs, and speaking at conferences.
    Your day-to-day:
    • Building PayPal’s Mobile SDKs for Android
    • Working with stakeholders across PayPal to create simple, robust Mobile SDKs that enable all PayPal has to offer
    • Partnering closely with cross functional partners, like Venmo, in design and product
    • Providing feedback on code and contributing to architecture discussions
    • Engaging with internal and external developers to better understand developer pain points and ways to improve the developer experience
    What do you need to bring:
    • Experience building Android applications
    • Experience in developer-facing products (e.g. SDKs, REST APIs, GraphQL) or products that enable third-party application development are great to have but not required
    • Excited about our team’s focus on open source and improving developer experiences
    • Experience with or interest in working with a team of engineers
    • Keep up to date on industry trends and technologies and apply them to our products

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