About Payabli

Payabli delivers payment infrastructure through a single unified API, enabling software platforms to embed, manage, and scale payments. Backed by QED Investors.

About the role

We're hiring an Engineering Lead, PayIn - the team that owns how money comes into Payabli. PayIn powers everything our partners use to accept payments from their customers: payment APIs, recurring billing and autopay, invoices and payment links, hosted pages and the virtual terminal, embedded checkout and digital wallets, surcharging, card-present devices, and check rails like lockbox and remote deposit. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • These are the core requirements for the role. We don't expect every candidate to check all of them, but this is a senior bar and we're looking for genuine depth across most
  • 10+ years building and operating production backend systems, including 3+ years leading engineering teams responsible for business-critical services
  • Payments experience is required. You've built or led systems in payment acceptance, gateways, acquiring, or funding - card, ACH, or both - and you know what happens to a payment after authorization
  • You've scaled a critical team and its systems. You've led through significant growth in volume, partners, and complexity, and can show how reliability, quality, and delivery improved together
  • You set expectations and hold the line. You define what good looks like, build accountability, and make hard people decisions - hiring, performance, team structure - with care and conviction
  • You build visibility. You know what's happening across your team and systems before anyone has to ask, through the metrics, SLOs, incident practices, and operating rhythms you put in place
