Job description
🚀 Join Paystone and Build the Future of Scalable Growth Platforms
At Paystone, we empower small businesses to turn every transaction into an opportunity for growth. Our products combine payments, automation, and customer engagement into a unified ecosystem that helps businesses grow smarter and faster.
We’re looking for a Technical Lead (IC Role) to join our Growth Platforms team — the core engine behind Paystone’s automation and data systems. You’ll be a key technical leader driving the architecture, performance, and scalability of systems that power thousands of customer interactions every day.
This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives on solving complex problems, designing scalable systems, and mentoring engineers — without the distractions of people management.
💡 What You’ll Do
- Architect and build scalable, distributed systems that power customer automation and growth.
- Drive technical direction across backend and frontend domains, ensuring high availability and performance.
- Mentor and elevate other engineers through thoughtful code reviews, design discussions, and best practices.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, and Data teams to deliver impactful, measurable results.
- Continuously improve our engineering practices — from CI/CD to observability and testing frameworks.
🧠 What You Bring
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including deep expertise in system design and scalability.
- Strong proficiency in JavaScript / TypeScript and Node.js, plus experience with at least one modern front-end framework ( React, Vue, or Angular).
- Proven experience deploying and maintaining services on GCP, AWS, or Azure.
- Solid understanding of microservices, API design, and event-driven architecture.
- Comfortable working with SQL/NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL, Firestore, or MongoDB.
- Bonus: exposure to Terraform, Kubernetes, performance tuning, or observability tooling.
🌍 Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Impact that matters: Your code will shape how small businesses engage and grow worldwide.
- Autonomy and trust: We focus on outcomes and empower you to make decisions.
- Growth and learning: Collaborate with global teams and gain exposure to cutting-edge architecture.
- Inclusive culture: Work remotely with talented peers across Canada, Indonesia, and beyond.
