The Role

We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join our Payments team and own the systems that move money for our customers, from the user-facing payment experience to the services, integrations, and AI-powered APIs behind Ottimate's VendorPay Network. Our stack spans Django, Angular, Postgres, and AWS, and we're leaning into AI on two fronts: to amplify how our engineering team builds and ships, and to deliver new AI-powered capabilities that make our customers dramatically more productive. You'll partner closely with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers to shape how businesses pay their vendors: accurately, securely, and on time. Planning, shipping, and learning are the traits we value most, along with the judgment to own a system end-to-end and make it better with every release.

Responsibilities: 

1. Full Stack Feature Delivery - Discuss, plan, design, build, and ship payments features across the full stack, from polished Angular interfaces for scheduling, approving, and tracking payments to the Django services and AI-powered APIs that drive them. Work on capabilities that thousands of businesses rely on every day to pay their vendors.
2. System Ownership - Own the quality, reliability, performance, and user experience of our payments systems end-to-end, where every transaction must be accurate, traceable, and reconciled. Help evolve the architecture as we migrate payments modules into independent services.
3. Payments Integrations - Build and maintain integrations with banks, payment processors, and card networks across ACH, virtual card, check, and wire payments, designing for idempotency, auditability, and graceful failure recovery.
4. Cross-Functional Collaboration - Partner with engineers, designers, product managers, and stakeholders across finance, operations, and our payment partners to define both the user experience and the technical approach that brings it to life.
5. Quality and Craft - Drive code reviews through pull requests and uphold a culture of moving fast while maintaining strong unit and integration tests, especially around money movement, and high code quality. Triage and fix bugs, often working directly with users to understand the problem and close the loop.
6. Get Creative with AI - Use AI tools, workflows, and automations to accelerate how you design, write, test, and ship, and bring that same sensibility to the AI-powered payments features we build for our customers, such as smarter payment matching, exception handling, and fraud detection.
