- Own the end-to-end Stripe integration, including Checkout, Billing, Subscriptions, Invoicing, Webhooks, payment recovery, refunds, and idempotent event processing.
- Build secure, scalable REST APIs and integrate seamlessly with existing platform services.
- Design enterprise-grade entitlement and licensing models supporting both self-service and enterprise customers.
- Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and DevOps teams to deliver production-ready solutions.
- Lead a team of 2-4 engineers through technical mentoring, architecture reviews, code reviews, and engineering best practices.
- Ensure high standards for testing, performance, security, observability, and production reliability.
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes deployments, GitOps practices, and cloud infrastructure.
Required Skills &
Experience :
- 8 years of software engineering experience with 5 years in a technical leadership or Lead Engineer role.

- Strong database design experience using MySQL/PostgreSQL with JPA/Hibernate and schema migrations.
- Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Kubernetes (GKE), Docker, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD (or similar GitOps tools), and Gradle/Maven.
- Strong understanding of automated testing using JUnit and Mockito.
- Experience designing secure, scalable, highly available distributed systems.
- Excellent engineering judgment with the ability to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
