Staff Engineer
Our Mission and Vision
At Solidgate, our mission is clear: to empower outstanding entrepreneurs to build exceptional internet companies. We exist to fuel the builders — the ones shaping the digital economy — with the financial infrastructure they deserve. To achieve that, we’re on a bold path: to become the #1 payments orchestration platform in the world.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Staff Engineer to join our Value-Added Services Stream. You will lead high-impact initiatives that raise reliability, strip away complexity, and unlock delivery speed.
We’re reliability-obsessed. We aim for 99.99% uptime, operate at massive scale, and keep turning complex systems into resilient, high-throughput platforms. At Solidgate, engineers don’t just ship features — they own org-level impact, drive cross-team change, and build the standards everyone else follows.
You’ll work side by side with the Head of Engineering and teams in our Value Added Services stream:
Finance Engineering → powering payment processing, reconciliation, and reporting with flawless accuracy
Risk Systems → building fraud prevention and risk tools that keep merchants and money safe
Billing → running invoicing, subscriptions, and fee management at scale — fast, accurate, reliable
Banking → integrating with global partners, routing payments, managing settlements, and keeping liquidity flowing
What you’ll be doing
- Partitioning and sharding databases to keep core payments and other critical systems fast and reliable
- Scaling and modernizing antifraud systems to stay ahead of the bad actors
- Building a new billing system and transitioning the subscriptions engine to a B2B model, handling 100,000+ subscriptions monthly
- Hardening our API Gateway for resilience and DDoS protection
You’re a great fit if you have
- 7+ years of experience in engineering with a strong track record in ownership and leadership roles
- Proficiency in one of the programming languages: Go, Kotlin, or Python
- A track record of leading complex, cross-team system deliveries
- Deep expertise in system design across services and data stores
- Strong skills in debugging, observability, CI/CD, and cloud fundamentals
- Clear communication with both technical and business stakeholders
- Sharp judgment, tech-agnostic mindset, and data-driven decision making
Why Join Solidgate?
High-impact role. You’re not inheriting a perfect system — you’re building one. Your work will define how we scale.
Great product. We’ve built a fintech powerhouse that can be quickly scaled. Furthermore, Solidgate’s potential isn’t just an orchestration player — it’s the financial infrastructure for modern Internet businesses with a wide range of products and services, including subscriptions, chargeback management, indirect tax management, and more. And yes — we also hold our own financial licenses in our key regions of operations and have direct memberships with the Schemes.
Massive growth opportunity. Solidgate is scaling rapidly — this role will be a career-defining move.
Top-tier tech team. Work alongside our driving force — a proven, results-driven engineering team that delivers.
