Staff Software Engineer, Consumer Payments (Growth)

• Define and drive the technical strategy across multiple areas within consumer payments, prioritizing efforts across different market-specific growth initiatives.
  
• Write scalable, maintainable code and design architecture for critical, high-ambiguity system components. Use data and technical judgment to simplify domain complexity and guide targeted investments that eliminate technical debt.
  
• Partner with Directors, PMs, UX, and TPMs across Singapore and global engineering centers to drive consensus and align technical strategies across markets.
  
• Advocate for AI-accelerated development workflows by defining team-wide policies for the verification, security, and maintenance of AI-generated code.
  
• Provide technical guidance and oversight to multiple concurrent workstreams, acting as an "Uber TL" rather than being tied to a single delivery team. Mentor and coach senior engineers across multiple areas, set high-bar engineering standards, and conduct rigorous design/code reviews.
  

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  
• 8 years of experience programming in Java, Go, C++, Python, or equivalent codebases.
