Why this role matters

Our Payments department processes millions of transactions per day across hundreds of payment methods, including crypto. We also use AI and ML in our payment systems, for example [fraud detection, smart payment routing, risk scoring]. We're looking for a hands-on architect who will own the architecture of the payments domain: from designing the target state to writing the first lines of code in a proof of concept. You won't just draw diagrams - you'll build things too. You'll work side by side with nine engineering teams, review their code and designs, and make sure our systems stay reliable, scalable, and easy to change as we grow.

The role is based in our Limassol office, Cyprus. In case of relocation, we offer full relocation support for you and your family to make your move smooth and worry-free.

What you'll actually do

•Own the target architecture of the Payments domain, aligned with company strategy and the company-wide architecture.

•Drive the technical roadmap for the domain: find gaps, prioritise improvements, and split large projects into clear delivery stages.

•Build and review: create proofs of concept, test new technologies, and review code and designs.

•Design solutions for areas: crypto payments, KYC flows, and AI/ML-based features, from idea to production.

•Work with the business from day one: help product teams and stakeholders turn business needs into solid technical solutions.

•Manage architectural tech debt: make it visible, explain the risks, and agree on a plan with the teams.

•Contribute to company-wide technology decisions together with architects from other tribes: shared standards, technology choices, and technology lifecycle.

•Raise the engineering level: mentor engineers in system design, run design reviews, and introduce practices such as RFCs and ADRs.

Who we’re looking for

•8+ years in software engineering, including 2–3+ years designing systems as an architect, tech lead, or head of development.

•You've written production code in the last 2 years and still enjoy it.

•Strong skills in Python or Go, and the ability to read and review code in the other.

•Experience with high-load, low-latency, high-availability distributed systems.

•Hands-on experience with our core stack: PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, REST/gRPC, Kubernetes.

•Good understanding of distributed systems patterns: idempotency, sagas, outbox, consistency trade-offs, resilience patterns. …
