Software Engineer - Go

Paddle offers SaaS companies a completely different approach to their payments infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments‑related apps and services, we act as a Merchant of Record for our customers. That means we remove 100% of the pain of payments fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and—above all—better. We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North, and we serve over 5,000 software sellers in 245 territories worldwide.

As a Software Engineer within our Billing group, you will play a key role in developing core areas of our new billing platform. You’ll provide world‑class experiences to thousands of customers who use and trust Paddle every day. You’ll take the lead on discovering new features, planning their implementation, and contributing your technical expertise to shape the future of our billing platform. You’ll collaborate with multiple teams—engineers, product managers, and designers—working across a wide range of areas that will give you plenty of opportunities to develop your skills and grow your career as a valued member of our engineering team.

What you’ll do:

• Independently deliver on milestones that may span across multiple systems within Billing.
• Make changes with care and precision, recognising the importance of correctness when working with financial data.
• Contribute to systems designed for scale, reliability, and security, following established architectural patterns.
• Write clear, well‑structured, and well‑tested code that meets team standards.
• Participate in code reviews, both giving and receiving constructive feedback.
• Work closely with other engineers, product managers, and designers to understand requirements and deliver solutions.
• Break down larger pieces of work into manageable tasks and estimate your own work with guidance.
• Help monitor and support production services, investigating and fixing issues as they arise.
• Contribute to shaping our team and wider engineering culture to ensure Paddle remains an exceptional place to work.
• Work closely with Product Managers, Designers, Data, Risk, and Operations to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions.
• Help shape product direction by providing technical insights, trade‑offs, and delivery estimates.
• Partner with Customer Support or Operations teams to investigate and resolve production issues.

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• A development background with Go.
• Experience designing and building systems to handle high traffic at scale in a cloud‑based environment in AWS.
• A proactive attitude towards finding ways to improve the code and team processes.
• A strong understanding of the development process - from design through to deployment, maintenance, and what that means for day‑to‑day development.
• A strong understanding of API principles and best practices.
• A proven track record of bias for action and strong customer focus.
• Solid communication and collaboration skills, comfortable working alongside both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Pride in what you build.
