Job Description

Much in the same way that Square revolutionized payments, Payroll is radically altering how employees get paid and businesses manage their finances. Our mission is to make running a business simple and personal by applying automation and an excellent user-experience.

• Work on the development and live operation of a distributed architecture
• Addition to change in quality, durability, and technical debt reduction, working directly with Product Managers, Engineering Managers, and other important partners
• Revitalize services and architectures which have outlasted their original implementations, through refactoring, migration, and scale-ready, distributed architectural design
• Safeguard the privacy, security, and trust of our customers' sensitive data throughout our implementations, in partnerships with our Risk and Information Security teams
• Unleash the velocity of our engineers and engineering systems with processes and implementations that allow us to ship quicker, fail faster, and isolate the blast radius of change pipelines
