What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sr/Staff Software Engineer - Payments (Backend) position at Engro Partners?
🚀 Staff / Senior Backend Engineers — Payments
This is one of those roles that changes careers.
We’re partnering with a profitable, payments-first platform already processing $2B in GMV, growing ~20% month-over-month and ~4× year-over-year — at this scale.
At the current trajectory, the business is on pace for:
- $8–10B GMV by end of 2026
- $30B GMV by end of 2027
This role:
- Reports directly to the co-founder / CTO
- Owns core payments infrastructure at the center of the business
- Involves building primitives and APIs that entire platforms depend on
- Has real architectural influence — not maintenance work
- Offers meaningful equity in a company with a real liquidity horizon
This is the kind of opportunity that defined early engineers at Airbnb, Uber, Facebook — except this company is already very profitable, which materially changes the risk/reward.
If you’re an engineer who:
- Has built real payments systems (ledgers, payouts, billing, transaction flows)
- Wants to own infrastructure that directly drives revenue
- Cares about simplicity, durability, and leverage
- Is energized by speed, momentum, and high standards
…this is worth a conversation.
