About this job
PayPal is hiring a Senior Backend Software Engineer in Bengaluru for Zettle SMB Direct, the team behind the PayPal POS app and Zettle Terminal used by small businesses. You will be responsible for designing Java services for checkout, commerce, identity and money movement and keeping them reliable.
A big part of the role is taking over these services from the Sweden team, leading the backend work to bring Zettle onto PayPal identity and core payments, and mentoring engineers. The role is hybrid.
Eligibility
- Minimum 3+ years of relevant experience; the team looks for 4 to 7 years
- Deep Java skills and a record of owning production services
- Design experience with distributed, event-driven systems on AWS
- Strong payments knowledge: authorisation, capture, refunds, settlement, chargebacks
- Working knowledge of PCI DSS and handling sensitive data
Skills required
What you will do
- Lead design and delivery of new payment flows, integrations and migrations
- Act as incident commander for your domain and run post-incident reviews
- Own service SLOs, alerts and capacity planning
- Review code and designs and coach engineers
- Run knowledge transfer with Sweden so every critical service has backup owners
How to apply
- Open the official PayPal job page with the Apply button and submit your application there.
- Tailor your resume to Java services you owned, payment or money-movement flows you built, and incidents you led.
Before the interview, prepare:
- Payment lifecycle: authorisation, capture, refund, settlement and reconciliation
- Idempotency and retries: avoiding double charges in distributed payment flows
- Event-driven design on AWS: queues, ordering, multi-region and failure handling
- PCI DSS basics: scope, tokenisation and key management
