  • Fix bugs and handle business-as-usual tasks through collaboration and pair programming
  • Improve documentation and demo content for our payment form tools
  • Stay up to date with the latest trends and tools in the tech and payments industry
  • Contribute to occasional ad-hoc projects as needed
  • Strong technical foundation, a collaborative mindset
  • Passion for building high-quality software
  • Ideally, you have experience in Ruby on Rails, or front-end technologies like TypeScript and React
