I would use stateless horizontally scalable services, durable asynchronous processing for non-blocking work, idempotency keys for payment requests, strong observability, and carefully designed failure and retry paths. I would also load-test the service and establish operational dashboards and alerts before release. Describe how you balance shipping a feature quickly with maintaining a sustainable architecture. I make the trade-offs explicit by identifying what is irreversible, risky, or likely to create material operational cost. I aim for the smallest safe design that meets the current need while documenting follow-up work, ownership, and triggers for further investment. This supports delivery without allowing known technical debt to become invisible. What practices would you use to ensure correctness in financially critical services? I would apply clear domain modeling, input validation, idempotent operations, transactional boundaries where appropriate, immutable audit records, reconciliation processes, and comprehensive automated testing. I would also use structured logs, metrics, tracing, peer reviews, and controlled rollouts so that failures can be detected, understood, and reversed quickly. Tell us about a time you investigated a production issue with multiple stakeholders involved. I would first establish incident ownership, assess customer impact, and communicate a concise status and mitigation plan. I would use logs, metrics, traces, recent deployments, and dependency health to narrow the cause while keeping support and operations informed. After recovery, I would lead a blameless review and ensure preventive actions have accountable owners. How do you mentor engineers while still delivering on your own technical responsibilities? I mentor through design reviews, pairing, actionable code-review feedback, and sharing context behind decisions rather than simply prescribing solutions. I delegate meaningful ownership with appropriate support, which helps others grow and increases team capacity. I also reserve time for mentoring as a planned senior responsibility, not as an optional activity. ### What do we do? Paddle offers SaaS companies a completely different approach to their payments infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we act as a Merchant of Record for our customers. That means we remove 100% of the pain of payments fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and—above all—better. We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North, and we serve over 6,000 software sellers in 245 territories worldwide. ### The role Selling online as a software business is a complex process and many components need to work seamlessly to capture revenue and deliver this to sellers. Paddle manages payments and billing, with a best-in-class developer-first approach, so that we can take this burden from our customers. Paddle is a financially-critical system used by a global customer base, processing hundreds of millions of dollars per month, so there is no shortage of interesting challenges. Senior Software Engineers at Paddle are not just programmers, we are problem solvers. We expect engineers to take initiative, as part of a small team, from an initial concept, scoping, implementation, right through to rollout and ongoing ownership. This requires initiative, creative thinking, and clear communication, as well as strong technical ability. We often work with a range of other teams including Data/Analytics, Infosec, Platform (SRE), Risk, Finance and many other product teams other than your own. You will collaborate alongside other engineers, product designers, data analysts, and legal and finance experts to have real impact. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to be part of something challenging and transformative, someone who will play a critical role in driving our success. ### What you’ll do * Design, build, and maintain high-throughput, highly reliable systems that power core Paddle capabilities. * Lead the implementation of key new features to a high standard from initial concept and planning right through to monitoring and ongoing improvement. Ensuring systems are built with correctness and precision. * Architect solutions that scale with growing transaction volumes and customers. * Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code and set a high bar for code quality and engineering standards. * Lead design discussions and architecture decisions, balancing short-term delivery with long-term sustainability. * Work closely with Product Managers, Designers, Data, Risk, and Operations to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions. * Shape product direction by providing technical insights, trade-offs, and delivery estimates. * Partner with Customer Support or Operations teams to investigate and resolve production issues. * Level-up the team’s engineering practices through mentoring other engineers, and by leading the technical planning of team initiatives. * Act as a force multiplier by driving best practices and long-term decisions for our engineering community. * Contribute to shaping our team and wider engineering culture to ensure Paddle remains an exceptional place to work. ### We’d love to hear from you if you have * You have a development background with Go. * You have experience designing and building systems to handle high traffic at scale in a cloud-based environment in AWS. * You enjoy collaborating with our technical and non-technical departments. * You proactively find ways to improve the code and team processes * You have a strong understanding of the development process – from design through to deployment, maintenance, and what that means for day-to-day development * A strong understanding of API principles and best practices. * A proven track record of bias for action and strong customer focus. * Excellent communication and collaboration skills, you should be comfortable working alongside both technical and non-technical stakeholders. * Proven success working with complex problems and ambiguity, maintaining high standards while balancing progression and perfection. ### Everyone is welcome at Paddle At Paddle, we’re committed to removing invisible barriers, both for our customers and within our own teams.
