Your next challenge
Join
Pluxee
as a
Senior Backend Engineer
and become a key contributor to our mission of revolutionizing employee compensation. You'll join the
Payments Squad
, a high-performance team dedicated to building the engine that moves money globally. We don't just write code; we design resilient, mission-critical systems where
transactional precision
,
idempotency
, and
fault tolerance
are at the heart of everything we do.
What You'll Do
Design for Resilience:
Build and optimize robust backend services capable of handling high-volume traffic while ensuring 100% data consistency and system reliability.
Evolve Distributed Architectures:
Understand the complexities of existing systems and evolve them into scalable, event-driven architectures to meet future integral product requirements.
High-Stakes Quality:
In Payments, there is no room for error.



You will be responsible for comprehensive testing (unit, integration, and acceptance) as well as advanced load and performance simulations.
Operational Excellence & Observability:
Monitor service health in production, using observability tools to proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks or anomalies.
Technical Leadership:
Share your expertise through deep code reviews, mentoring junior engineers, and documenting engineering standards that elevate the entire squad.
Our Technical Stack
Backend Core:
Node.js (TypeScript), NestJS (or similar frameworks).
Data & State:
MongoDB (Atlas), Redis for caching and distributed locking.
Infrastructure:
Docker, Kubernetes, GitLab CI/CD (deploying multiple times daily).
Observability:
Sentry and Datadog/New Relic for real-time monitoring.
Collaboration:
GitHub, GitLab, Slack, JIRA, Notion.
(Note: You will collaborate closely with our React/React Native teams, but your focus will be 100% Backend).
You're a Match If You Have A Few of Below
Proven Senior Expertise:
5+ years of experience developing production-grade applications, specifically within the Node.js ecosystem.
The "Payments Mindset":
Direct experience with banking systems, payment gateways (Stripe, Adyen, etc.), ledger systems, or reconciliation processes.




Distributed Systems Mastery:
Deep understanding of race conditions, eventual consistency, idempotency, and message brokers.
Problem-Solving DNA:
A systematic approach to troubleshooting complex issues in high-concurrency environments.
Quality First:
Extensive experience with automated testing patterns and a "shift-left" security mindset.
Growth Mindset:
A passion for continuous learning, open to feedback, and a drive to help others improve their craft.
Key changes made:
Focus shifted:
From general "backend" to "transactional precision and idempotency."
Refined Stack:
Moved React/React Native out of your "Daily Stack" to avoid attracting full-stack profiles when you need a backend specialist.
Added Observability:
Included monitoring (Datadog/New Relic) as it's vital for a Senior role in payments.
Strengthened "Match" section:
Added specific fintech requirements like ledger systems and reconciliation.
