Mid-Senior Software Developer

About the Role

A hands-on engineering role for someone who's already delivering solidly on their own and wants the next step: ownership of systems, of provider integrations and of the teamwork.

This is deliberately a growth role. You'll start with well-scoped delivery work and take on architecture, provider ownership, and incident leadership as you demonstrate you're ready. We have clear expectations for what we look for at Mid and at Senior level, so you'll know what the next step requires rather than having to guess.

Fintech or payments experience is a plus, not a requirement. We'll teach you the domain.

What You'll Do From The Start

• Write clean, well-tested code and deliver it consistently — that's the foundation everything else is built on
• Build and maintain integrations with acquirers and PSPs — the core of what we do
• Review other people's code with attention to design and maintainability, not just correctness
• Own features end to end: understand the business goal, ask the questions that surface hidden requirements, break it down, deliver it
• Debug production issues — investigate, fix, and write up what happened so it doesn't recur
• Participate in architectural discussions: bring trade-offs to the table, protect your position, learn from others

What You'll Grow Into

• Acting as a gatekeeper for code quality — holding the standard in review, catching what shouldn't be delivered, and explaining why in a way that raises the bar for everyone rather than just blocking merges
• Owning a provider relationship from discovery through launch, and being the person they talk to
• Driving architectural decisions rather than contributing to them — including the ones with no clean answer
• Coordinating complex incidents: leading root cause analysis and pushing prevention work through to completion
• Improving how the team works: review standards, runbooks, deployment procedures, workflows
• Mentoring developers next to you

What We're Looking For

• We work mostly in Ruby on Rails. Either you know it, or you catch up quickly and contribute from your first weeks — in which case deep proficiency in a similar dynamic language (Python, PHP, JavaScript) is a must
• A track record of finishing things. You unblock yourself, and you know the difference between a real blocker and an excuse
• Results over polish in implementation — we'd rather ship a working solution than the most elegant possible one. Standards on tests, conventions, and reviewability aren't part of that trade
• You work within existing conventions first. Understand why a process exists, match the codebase's style, then propose improvements
• Solid database skills: writing efficient queries, understanding indexes, making reasonable data modeling calls
• Working comfortably with CI/CD, containers, and a cloud platform — you can deploy and diagnose your own work
• Strong debugging instincts and the willingness to solve a difficult task
• Effective daily use of LLM tools

Nice to Have

• Payment provider integrations (acquirers, PSPs) — the domain, not just the code
• Familiarity with PCI DSS requirements
• Any prior experience mentoring or leading technical decisions

What We Offer

• €2,500–4,000 gross per month, plus performance bonus
• Growing responsibility comes with growing pay, not just another title
• A small team of ~5 passionate developers — your work is visible and there's no queue to be heard
• We put real effort into noticing who's contributing. We measure delivery volume, quality, and impact on teammates, and reward it accordingly
• A codebase we actively invest in — refactors get prioritized rather than deferred forever, and improving it is part of the job, not a side quest
• Regular, honest feedback on where you stand against the next level
• Real influence over architecture and process — earned quickly if you deliver
• Riga-based, hybrid — we care that the work lands, not which hours you were online for
