About Playbypoint
We're a rapidly expanding startup at the forefront of the racquet sports industry. At Playbypoint, we specialize in providing innovative enterprise software solutions that empower clubs, players, and coaches to streamline their operations and enhance their game. We're backed by top investors, trusted by leading clubs, and scaling fast – and we're looking for passionate individuals to join us in revolutionizing the racquet sports world with cutting-edge software.
The Role
We're looking for a Senior Engineer to join our Payments team and own the infrastructure that moves money across our platform — from online checkout and in-person POS terminals to recurring billing, payouts, refunds, and reconciliation.
This is a hands-on IC role with real scope. You'll partner closely with Product, Finance, and Club Operations to translate business needs into systems that are safe, scalable, and built to last.
Our stack: Ruby on Rails (backend), React + TypeScript (frontend), GraphQL and REST APIs, MySQL / Redis / Sidekiq, cloud-native infrastructure on AWS.
What You'll Do

• Architect and build core payments infrastructure across online, in-person, and recurring billing flows.

• Own the reliability of money movement: idempotency, webhook processing, failure recovery, and reconciliation.

• Drive PCIDSS scope hygiene and keep our financial systems auditable and observable.

• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to ship features clubs depend on — split payments, deposits, multi-currency, marketplace payouts to coaches and pros.

• Set the engineering bar for payments-critical code and mentor engineers across the team.

You Might Thrive in This Role If You

• Have 8+ years building backend systems in production environments with real operational responsibility and significant focus on payments or financial systems.

• Have hands-on production experience with Adyen. Familiarity with Checkout, Terminal API, tokenization, webhooks, or Adyen for Platforms is a strong signal.

• Have 3+ years of demonstrable Ruby on Rails experience in production environments.

• Think in failure modes: what happens when a payment succeeds but the webhook never arrives?

• Bring money-safe instincts — idempotency, exactly-once semantics, currency precision, ledger thinking.

• Have proven ability to operate high-availability services: monitoring, alerting, incident response, and postmortems.

• Are comfortable working in a high-velocity environment while maintaining a correctness-first mindset.

• Communicate clearly and default to async. Strong written and spoken English is a must — we work closely with US-based stakeholders and partners.

Engineering in the AI Era
We expect every engineer at Playbypoint to work with AI as a core part of their craft — not as a novelty, but as a force multiplier across the entire SDLC. That means:

• Actively using AI tools throughout the development lifecycle — design, coding, code review, testing, debugging, and incident analysis.

• Having built AI-powered tooling or agents — whether internal automation, LLM-integrated features, or workflow improvements that shipped to production.

• Knowing when AI adds real value and when it doesn't — judgment matters more than enthusiasm.

We don't expect everyone to be an AI researcher. We do expect you to be fluent in the tools and patterns of the moment, and curious about what's next.
Bonus

• Experience with other PSPs such as Stripe, Xendit, or RazorPay.

• Familiarity with eWallet integrations or cryptocurrency payment rails.

• Background in vertical SaaS, marketplaces, hospitality, or fintech.

• Card-present POS experience (in-store reconciliation, terminal fleet management).
