Remote Sr. Software Engineer, Payments & Trust @ Lime

Lime is the world’s largest shared electric vehicle company. We’re on a mission to build a future where transportation is shared, affordable and carbon-free. Our electric bikes and scooters have powered 400+ million rides in 250+ cities on 5 continents, replacing an estimated 100+ million car trips. Named a Time 100 Most Influential Company and Fast Company Brand That Matters, we achieved a fully profitable year in 2022, becoming the first in our industry to reach this milestone.
We are looking for a strong senior software engineer to join our fast-growing team and contribute to two critical areas at Lime: Payments and Trust.
On the payments side, Lime’s global presence makes payments a big challenge to tackle – our riders transact in more than 20 countries across multiple payment methods on five continents. This team focuses on building Lime’s Payments platform, driving down transaction costs, improving authorization rates, and expanding local payments integrations. We also work on reducing payment friction and coming up with new innovative ways for our customers to pay for and ride the way they want.
On the trust side, Lime’s micro-mobility platform relies on the trust of our consumers. We are perfecting the balance between accurately identifying those who abuse our platform without affecting our community at large. This team is building a real-time risk engine that leverages heuristic rules and machine learning to evaluate every transaction, provides the foundational infrastructure for us to make accurate decisions in real-time, and ultimately drive a strong bottom line for Lime.
