We’re looking for an experienced and driven  Staff Engineer to join our technology leadership team. In this role, you’ll lead key cross-organizational initiatives, provide technical guidance, and shape engineering practices that power our scalable, business-critical systems in the online transactions and payments space.

You’ll play a pivotal role in leading technical transformation, supporting developers, and elevating the platform with a long-term view — all while staying hands-on where it matters.

Responsibilities:  Technical Leadership

Drive cross-R&D initiatives such as platform modernization, performance optimization, developer velocity improvements, and major tech migrations (e.g., Java upgrades).

Serve as a technical authority across R&D – setting standards, offering design guidance, and mentoring teams on best practices.

Own and evolve shared internal libraries (e.g., credorax-commons) to ensure maintainability, reuse, and adoption.

Lead proof-of-concepts and evaluate emerging technologies that can unlock scale, stability, or innovation (e.g., Aerospike, AI-powered dev tools).

 Tooling, DevOps & Quality

Collaborate with TechOps and platform teams to improve tooling, deployment, and observability capabilities.

Define and maintain standards for CI/CD workflows and automation (GitLab pipelines).

Introduce and manage code quality and static analysis tools to uphold engineering excellence across teams.

Collaboration & Process

Provide matrix-style leadership, guiding engineers across teams (not a direct HR manager).

Foster a culture of technical collaboration, shared learning, and mentorship.

Support effective Agile processes, with a focus on continuous delivery, autonomy, and technical ownership.

Requirements:

7+ years of backend engineering experience with Java and Spring (Spring Boot) – required.

Proven track record in technical leadership roles, guiding architectural decisions, and driving change across teams.

Experience building and maintaining high-performance, distributed systems in production.

Deep understanding of DevOps workflows, deployment pipelines, and platform tooling.

Familiarity with technologies like RabbitMQ, Hazelcast, Aerospike – an advantage.

Strong interpersonal skills – able to influence, guide, and inspire technical teams.

Comfortable balancing strategic vision with hands-on technical execution.
