About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead the people, architecture, and delivery behind OrderYOYO's payments platform — enabling KYC onboarding, deductions, settlement/payout timing, dispute flows, and merchant invoicing.
Grow a high-performing engineering team and raise the bar on reliability, security, and engineering quality.
Own hiring and team-building for the payments engineering function.
Run day-to-day people management: 1:1s, goal-setting, performance reviews, and career progression conversations.
Build a team culture where payments knowledge is documented and shared.
Set the technical direction and long-term architecture strategy for payment-domain services.
Oversee marketplace capabilities and ensure robust “flow-of-funds” primitives across the team's systems.
Partner closely with Product, Legal/Compliance, Finance, and Support to convert requirements into safe, testable production behaviour.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Proven experience leading, mentoring, or people-managing a team of software engineers — including hiring, performance management, and career development.
Strong backend engineering background in distributed systems — microservices, async processing, resilient APIs, and eventual consistency.
Production experience with payment flows (auth/capture/refund, webhooks, reconciliation) and “money correctness” patterns such as idempotency keys, double-entry thinking, and auditability.
A solid security mindset: PCI compliance, PII protection, secrets management, least privilege, and secure coding practices.
Comfort working in an Azure-first environment (APIs, queues/eventing, monitoring), with strong CI/CD and automated testing practices.
Clear, confident communication with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders in high-stakes scenarios — incidents, financial breaks, and compliance requests.
Strong judgement on when to move fast, when to standardise, and when to say “not yet” with evidence — balancing team capacity, technical debt, and business priorities.
