You will work directly with PSPs, banks, and the NPCI UPI stack, designing systems that are not just fast and fault-tolerant, but built to handle the nuances of real-world payment flows: idempotency, retries, reversals, and full transaction lifecycle management.

- Integrate with PSP/banks and NPCI UPI stack
- Design reliable transaction systems (idempotency, retries, reversals)
- Develop low-latency, high-throughput microservices
- Implement secure payment flows (device binding, authentication, encryption)
- Ensure end-to-end transaction security and data protection
- Manage transaction lifecycle, logs, and reconciliation
- Collaborate on integrations with rewards, wallet, and checkout systems
[Required Experience]
- 3–8+ years of backend engineering experience
- Fintech/payments experience (mandatory)
- Experience in high-scale consumer apps
- Strong understanding of UPI architecture & flows
- Experience with bank/PSP integrations
- Solid understanding of security in fintech systems:
- Encryption (data in transit & at rest)
- Tokenization & secure key management
- Authentication & authorization (OAuth/JWT)
- Experience building scalable, fault-tolerant systems
- Experience with wallets, ledgers, or reconciliation systems
- Familiarity with NPCI certification processes and RBI PPI/wallet guidelines
