[Hiring] Senior Engineer @EatClub

Role Description

As our Senior Engineer, Billing and Payments, you own the flow of money through EatClub: from the moment a customer pays at a venue, through our payment partners, to the venue being settled and invoiced. This is a hands-on senior engineering role in a small, high-ownership squad.

On any given week, you will be:

• Building and extending our payment flows: new payment methods, new partner integrations and improvements to how customers pay at venues.
• Keeping our payments reliable: investigating failures, fixing root causes and improving the signals that tell us something is wrong.
• Making sure every venue is settled correctly, every cycle, in every market.
• Building and extending our billing: invoicing, fees, tax and collections, so what a venue sees matches what our ledger says.
• Working with Finance to reconcile money end to end, and fixing the system when the numbers do not match.
• Replacing manual processes and support tickets with features, on both the payments and billing side.
• Reviewing code, protecting financial correctness with tests, and mentoring the squad's mid-level engineer.

Projects you'll be working on at EatClub...

• Delivering the payment flow improvements designed with the staff engineer, from first commit to production.
• Integrating new payment partners and markets so customers can pay the way they expect, wherever they are.
• Improving payment reliability and observability so failures are rare, visible and quickly understood.
• Making venue settlements correct by design rather than by manual adjustment.
• Rebuilding billing so fees, adjustments and tax are handled consistently across markets.
• Automating collections so overdue invoices are chased by the system, not by Finance.
• Reconciliation tooling that lets anyone trace a transaction from payment to invoice to payout.

Qualifications

• At least 5 years of software engineering experience, including 2+ years building production payments, billing or other systems where correctness is measured in cents.
• Working knowledge of card payments: how a payment is authorised, captured, refunded and settled, and what can go wrong along the way.
• Hands-on experience integrating with a modern payment provider such as Stripe.
• Experience building or operating billing and invoicing systems, including tax and collections.
• Double-entry thinking: you understand ledgers and reconciliation, and you design so every movement of money has a matching record.
• Strong backend engineering in a modern language on cloud infrastructure, with thorough testing of financial logic.
• A track record of delivering significant projects end-to-end in production.
• Experience debugging intermittent production issues to root cause and preventing recurrence.
• The ability to work day to day with Finance and Customer Support and translate their problems into system changes.
• Fluency with AI development tools and judgement about where they help and where they mislead.

Requirements

• Experience at a fintech, payments company or marketplace that settles money to merchants or venues.
• Familiarity with acquirer and bank integrations, or with payment schemes in Australia, the UK or New Zealand.
• Familiarity with GST/VAT and e-invoicing across our markets.
• Experience with a serverless AWS stack and event-driven systems.
• Exposure to PCI DSS, ISO 27001 or financial audit requirements.
• Experience in hospitality tech, or a love of restaurants and dining out.

Benefits

• Be part of an innovative company shaping the future of dining.
• Autonomy, flexibility, high-performing, and a collaborative culture.
• A passionate team who values creativity, hustle and results.
• Access to some of the best restaurants and hospitality leaders in the industry.
• Staff discounts and dining vouchers to enjoy through EatClub.
