Senior Software Engineer (Hybrid, London, UK)

This role offers an exciting opportunity to work on cloud-based transaction systems, including payment card processing infrastructure, in a team that values collaboration, security, and reliability. You’ll work closely with third-party service providers, ensure compliance with PCI DSS, and help build secure abstractions over APIs that interface with our clients.

The In-Car Payments Engineering team is responsible for delivering cutting-edge, in-car commerce solutions that allow drivers to pay for fueling, EV charging, and parking directly from their vehicles.

What you will do:

• Maintain and expand our serverless card payment infrastructure built with TypeScript, Node.js, and AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB).
• Ensure continued PCI DSS compliance.
• Work with others to fix bugs, implement minimal new features, trace errors, and ensure security patches are applied in production and pre-production environments.
• Support a clean and well-documented strategy for all dependent services and infrastructure.
• Collaborate in daily scrum ceremonies, working closely with engineering, security, and third-party vendors.
• Apply TDD/BDD methodologies, maintaining high code quality and resilience.

Who are you:

• Strong hands-on experience with TypeScript and Node.js. Frontend familiarity is helpful (e.g. React).
• Proficiency with AWS services in a serverless context, especially CloudFront, API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB and CloudWatch.
• Commercial experience with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform, SST, CDK or CloudFormation.
• Strong understanding of API development, RESTful design, and secure authentication.
• Demonstrated knowledge of API security and OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities.
• Experience with Docker, Linux, Git, and container-based environments.
• Hands-on development experience with PCI DSS, payment systems, or other regulated environments is essential.
• Excellent communicator with a self-starter attitude and comfort working autonomously.
• Demonstrable expertise and understanding of API development/design and experience interfacing with disparate systems.
• Applicable understanding of software security, common exploits and secure development practices, including the OWASP Top 10.
• Proven and demonstrable understanding of testing methodologies and frameworks.
• Commercial experience with AWS and IaC (Terraform/CDK/CloudFormation).
• Commercial experience with Linux, Docker, Docker Compose, Git and DynamoDB.
