The opportunity
The Commercial Systems and Intelligence squad is a newly formed team within SumUp's Acquisition Mission under the Run & Grow tribe. We sit at the intersection of data, backend engineering, and sales operations, building the infrastructure that powers how SumUp attributes…
What you'll do
Aggregating data from across the SumUp ecosystem to determine which: acquisition channel or sales agent drove a merchant to take a valuable action (e.g. signing up, adopting a product)
Establishing data models, API contracts, and rule definitions that automate: existing manual commission workflows for field and tele-sales agents, partnerships and merchant referrals
Build the Lifecycle Event Log in close collaboration with the Merchant: Intelligence squad. A centralized store of curated merchant lifecycle events (signups, product usage, verification, purchases) used across attribution, recommendations, customer support and sales
Build internal backoffices and APIs for sales representatives and leaders to: monitor commission and modify commission plans, manage portfolios and resolve disputes
Define and document API contracts, schemas, and integration patterns that: other engineering teams can adopt confidently
Establish best practices for testing, observability, and incident response within a newly formed squad
What they're looking for
- Use AI and agentic coding tools deliberately, to scaffold services, write: tests, explore unfamiliar code, and draft documentation while maintaining full accountability for what gets shipped
- Bring a strong backend engineering background in Go, or are a typed-language: generalist ready to ramp up quickly
- Have designed APIs and distributed systems with clear contracts, versioning, and integration patterns
- Are fluent in relational and analytical databases (PostgreSQL, Snowflake) and: comfortable making the right choice for the right use case
