ABOUT THE PROJECT

The team is responsible for ensuring that millions of customers around the world can pay seamlessly and securely for their subscriptions.
You’ll work in a high-scale, event-driven microservices environment focused on supporting and expanding our payment capabilities.
Right now, our main goal is to implement new payment methods via existing providers, making sure that recurring payments are successful or recovered on time.
