## Job description

At PPRO, we simplify access to local payments - providing a local payments platform that empowers giants like PayPal, Stripe, and Microsoft to connect with billions of consumers worldwide. We are on an ambitious, fast-paced mission to 3x our growth by 2028 - and we’re just getting started.

Our magic lies in our team of proud payments nerds. Spanning over 50 nationalities across 10+ global locations, our diverse cultures aren't a checklist; they are the competitive advantage driving our innovation. This is a people-first, high trust environment where you’ll have the autonomy to make a massive impact, own your work end-to-end, and grow through broad exposure, meaningful challenges, and continuous learning. We get things done, challenge respectfully, put the customer first, and recognise that our biggest successes are those we create as a team. If you’re ready to leave your footprint on global commerce, join us.

### The Purpose:

Senior Backend Engineers (m/w/x) make some of the most significant decisions for the company. Think of yourself as an important contributor to the success of your team, with a significant impact on the team’s product, but also on its culture and spirit.

The Gateways team under Transaction Processing domain in Berlin is in charge of building, enhancing and maintaining payment processing products, with PPRO Global processing gateway as the core platform. The team needs to ensure the platform is continuously fully-featured, scalable, reliable, cost-efficient, secure, and auditable while discovering new ways to reduce the integration efforts from customers and reduce the time to enable new payment methods.

### Your impact in this role:

- Build and maintain PPRO’s main payment processing engine that is exposed via the PPRO API.

- Own end-to-end products and services from design to rolling out to production.

- Execute with a "you build it, you run it" mindset, potentially participating in an on-call rotation.

- Share your knowledge and build creative solutions while helping your team as well as stakeholder teams to evolve for the best practices.

- Be an integral part of an agile team that collaborates closely and transparently via pair programming, asynchronous communication over ADRs and RFCs, knowledge sharing as well as on-demand brainstorming sessions.

- Use the latest technologies to solve real problems for our customers at a massive scale.

### What would make you a great fit:

- Results-orientated, collaborative, pragmatic mindset.

- Experience in designing and building scalable products and services.

- Motivation and appetite for problem solving.

- Great skills to break down complex problems into manageable and deliverable pieces.

- Excellent writing and drawing skills and willingness to express your ideas in such forms to provide the best overview possible for any incoming problem.

- Working proficiency in English.

### Technical requirements:

- In the transaction processing domain, we build and maintain PPRO's primary payment gateway. Therefore, our expectations are high. We expect you to bring knowledge and experience in most of the following technologies:

- Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs

- AWS Cloud components such as EKS, DynamoDB, Kinesis and OpenSearch

- Event-driven microservice architecture

- Observability with Datadog

- IaC via Terraform

### Nice to haves:

- A background in Payments.

- Hands-on experience with AI as a software engineer

What's in it for you?

Hybrid working - We offer a hybrid structure with a 3 days / week on site expectation, so you can strike the balance between office and home working. In addition to our 30-day holiday allowance, we also provide a work from abroad policy, enabling employees to work remotely for up to another 30 days per year.

Learning and Development - We offer a €1,000 annual budget to support your professional growth—because investing in your development benefits us all. In addition, we provide leadership cafés, on-the-job training, and other opportunities to help you grow your skills and thrive in your role.

Insurance - Because better safe than sorry - we want our employees to benefit from various insurances including accident insurance, disability insurance, direct insurance (bAV) and travel insurance.

Gym membership - PPRO helps contribute towards the costs of your gym membership, supporting your physical fitness journey while easing the burden on your wallet

Enhance Family Leave - We understand the importance of family - that's why we offer enhanced family leave to support you during key life moments.

Mental Health Platform - We’ve teamed up with a top well-being platform to provide one-on-one therapy, chat therapy, therapist-led courses, guided meditations, and more.

Pet-friendly office - Because work is better with your paw-tners by your side

### Our Principles:

We get things done: We are courageous; we take ownership, make decisions and get things done.

We act with trust and integrity: We listen first and challenge respectfully. We seek out and leverage diverse perspectives. We welcome and offer honest and open feedback, always assuming positive intent

We put the customer first: We are laser focused on delivering outstanding outcomes for our customers. We put the customer at the heart of what we do.

We make things better: We boldly explore new ideas and have an unwavering commitment to continuous improvement.

We work as a team: We collaborate closely and value team success over individual achievement.

### Our commitment to Diversity and Inclusion:

Payments only work when they reflect how different people actually pay, and we build teams the same way: our people span more than 50 nationalities, and that mix is exactly what makes us good at this. So if you're reading this and wondering whether you tick every box, apply anyway. We're far more interested in what you'll bring than a perfect match on paper.

We welcome applicants of every background, identity, and experience, and we make sure our hiring process is accessible to everyone. If you need an adjustment at any stage, just let us know: we're happy to help.

### A few more things:

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please refer to our Candidate Privacy Policy https://www.ppro.com/candidate-privacy-policy/.

**Live in Ppro’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
