We're Checkout.com

Checkout.com is one of the most exciting and valuable fintechs in the world, with our Series D taking our valuation to $40 billion. Our mission is to enable businesses and their communities to thrive in the digital economy. We’re the strategic payments partner for some of the best known fast-moving brands globally such as Wise, Hut Group, Sony Electronics, Homebase, Henkel, Binance, Klarna and many others. Purpose-built with performance and scalability in mind, our flexible cloud-based payments platform helps global enterprises launch new products and create experiences customers love. And it's not just what we build that makes us different. It's how.

We empower passionate problem-solvers to collaborate, innovate and do their best work. That’s why we’re number 9 on the Forbes Cloud 100 list and on Glassdoor’s list of Top 10 fintechs to work for. And we’re just getting started. We’re building diverse and inclusive teams around the world — because that’s how we create even better experiences for our merchants and our partners. And we need your help. So, join us to build tomorrow, today.

Payment Performance is a key differentiator for Checkout.com. Payment performance means that we work to make payments have a higher probability of succeeding when they come through us - thus ensuring higher revenues to all of our merchants. We do this by combining ML/RL and manual knowledge to make routing algorithms that modify a payment’s parameters in real-time. This makes for an interesting technical challenge: we have to combine high performance (<100ms), reliability (99.99%), and live machine learning, which requires us to be ahead of the market in terms of technology. As an Engineering Lead at Checkout.com, you will be leading a team of strong software and infrastructure engineers towards the delivery of ambitious targets, while maintaining our SLAs with regards to high performance and reliability. You will also work closely with the product and engineering leadership to shape the products that we release.

    • Uphold high standards for our uptime and latency requirements while not sacrificing the veracity of API responses.
    • Work with data scientists to make modifications to the platform and algorithms in order to achieve even better results.
    • Hire and Develop engineers on the team, and help them advance in their careers.
    • Participate in maintaining the team’s cohesion and healthiness.
    • Handle our incident response and post-incident investigation processes; participate in on-call rotations.
    • Make difficult choices in planning for the long-term vision of our infrastructure and its quality while not overengineering.
