(Senior) Backend EngineerNew

The opportunity

At SumUp , we believe small merchants are the heartbeat of our communities. By joining the Payments BR Tribe , you'll help shape solutions that directly solve merchants' everyday challenges and redefine how financial products empower entrepreneurship in Brazil.

What you'll do

  • Own the architecture: Design and author RFCs that shape how the domain evolves, driving clean, scalable solutions across our integration layer with internal SumUp services and third-party services as well.

  • Write and review high-quality code: Take full ownership of backend delivery — from writing production-grade code to leading rigorous peer reviews that keep the codebase healthy and maintainable

  • Drive technical standards: Establish clear documentation, testing practices, and CI/CD improvements that reduce technical debt and make the squad more autonomous over time

  • Mentor and grow the team: Pair-program with and actively develop other engineers on the squad, acting as the technical reference point and fostering a culture of ownership and engineering excellence

  • Collaborate broadly: Partner closely with the Engineering Manager, Product Manager, and cross-functional stakeholders to translate business needs into clear technical roadmaps and scalable solutions
