Software Engineer

At PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL), we believe that every person has the right to participate fully in the global economy. Our mission is to democratize financial services to ensure that everyone, regardless of background or economic standing, has access to affordable, convenient, and secure products and services to take control of their financial lives. We’re a purpose-driven company, and our beliefs are the foundation of how we conduct business every day. We’re guided by our core values of Inclusion, Innovation, Collaboration, and Wellness. Collectively, these values inspire us to work together as One Team with our customers at the center of everything we do, and to take care of ourselves, each other, and the communities in which we live and work. We challenge the status quo, ask questions, and find solutions. Join us as we enable the hopes, dreams, and ambitions of millions of people around the world.

What we do
We’re building the Financial Platform that closes the gap between our Product teams and the Finance team. This way we enable our product to grow freely and our Finance team to keep the pace.
In our systems we have a zero fault tolerance while handling millions of events per day. Scalability and monitoring are crucial, testing is as important as production code itself and we write code for the developers that will come, not simply code that works.

What you’ll do
We own our success, but we also own our misstakes, so as a backend developer you’re expected to contribute not only to all aspects of backend, but also to all aspects of software engineering: infra, data, application, deployment, monitoring, architecture, code reviews, pair and mob programming, etc. We own everything we do. That and we have fun!

Who you are
You’re reliable. You’re curious and bold. You think about the next developer. You share your knowledge, experience and opinions, but you understand and respect that the last word comes from the team. You make it fun.

The skills you need to succeed
We believe in using the best tools for the task. We continuously review our toolkit, architecture and ways of working, and we’re open to new tools and frameworks.
Today we work with Java 14, Dropwizard, Wildfly, Docker, Terraform, PostgreSQL. Everything is hosted on Amazon Web Services.
