Job Summary We are building a high-performance Payment Hub and orchestration platform that connects merchants with multiple payment gateways, processors and acquirers. As a Rust Engineer, you will work on the core systems behind it: transaction processing and routing, gateway integrations, asynchronous workflows and production reliability. You own problems end-to-end instead of working on isolated modules.

What You Will Own

- Core payment services: high-throughput, low-latency transaction processing, authorization/capture, refunds and reversals in Rust.
- Routing and decision engine: configurable routing rules, success-rate based selection, fallback and cascading retries across gateways and acquirers.
- Provider connectors: adapters and abstraction layers that hide provider-specific APIs, auth schemes, response formats and error codes.
- Transaction state machines: explicit, auditable lifecycle management that stays correct under timeouts, duplicate callbacks and partial failures.
- Idempotency and consistency: duplicate-request handling and idempotent distributed operations that never double-charge or double-refund.
- Async and event-driven pipelines: webhook delivery, reconciliation feeds and background workflows on queues/streams.
- Internal and merchant-facing APIs used by merchants, internal teams and payment providers.

Production Ownership

- Own features across the full cycle:



design, development, testing, deployment, monitoring and debugging in production.
- Run root-cause analysis for latency spikes, transaction failures and incidents, and ship permanent fixes instead of patching symptoms.
- Profile and optimize CPU, memory, I/O, network and database usage; remove bottlenecks before they become outages.
- Build observability into everything you ship: structured logs, metrics and traces tied to transaction IDs.

Requirements

What You Bring (Must-Have)

- 3-6 years of backend engineering with professional Rust experience in production.
- Solid command of ownership and borrowing, lifetimes, traits and generics, error handling, memory management, and async/concurrent Rust.

- Experience building REST APIs or distributed services, and sound database fundamentals ( PostgreSQL , Cassandra and Redis preferred: transactions, isolation, indexing, query tuning).
- Good grasp of Linux and networking (TCP, HTTP/TLS, DNS, timeouts, connection pooling).

- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, and the habit of reasoning about failure modes first.

Positive to Have (Tech)

- Tokio, Axum or Actix-web
- Redis, Kafka / RabbitMQ / NATS

- Docker and Kubernetes; GCP or AWS
- OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, distributed tracing
- Go or Python for tooling and integrations is an added advantage
- Open-source contributions or performance write-ups

Good to Have (Payments)

- Payment gateways, orchestration and acquirers
- Authorization / capture, refunds / reversals
