The Payments team owns Indeed's core payment infrastructure and revenue-critical systems. This outpost engagement embeds a backend software engineer within the team to accelerate delivery of feature initiatives and reduce a growing backlog of technical debt. The role calls for a strong, autonomous backend engineer who can ramp quickly and collaborate closely with full-time engineers to ship high-quality, scalable payment infrastructure. The engagement is driven by the team's near-term delivery commitments, which require additional engineering capacity.

Key Responsibilities
• Implement new backend features for payment flows.
• Drive technical-debt reduction, including refactoring legacy services, improving test coverage, and modernizing APIs (e.g., deprecated API migrations).
• Write clean, well-tested, production-ready code that meets Indeed's engineering standards and merges to main with passing CI/CD pipelines and peer-review approval.
• Deliver against multiple initiatives within agreed sprint cycles. Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and sprint ceremonies alongside full-time Payments engineers.
• Collaborate with product managers, partner teams, and fellow engineers to clarify requirements and deliver end-to-end solutions.
• Produce documentation for owned workstreams — designs, API specs, KT docs, and runbooks — to support long-term maintainability.
• Ensure a smooth hand-off to the full time engineering team at the conclusion of the engagement. Time Zone Coverage & Preferred Region: India, or nearby regions with no more than 2 hours of time difference Required Hours: IST support (preferably 10AM to 7PM IST) Preferred Region(s): APAC Requirements The Payments team owns Indeed's core payment infrastructure and revenue-critical systems.
