About the role

In this role, you’ll take ownership of designing, delivering, and evolving solutions within our Payments Merchant Configuration space - a critical platform that enables our broader Payments ecosystem, Finance and Customer Service teams to operate effectively. You’ll also dive deep into Tyro’s Pricing Products and quoting engine, shaping scalable, reliable systems that directly impact our customers and commercial outcomes.

What you'll do

• Deliver end-to-end - Contribute across the full software development lifecycle, from discovery and architecture through planning, development, testing, deployment, and ongoing optimisation. You’ll help shape solutions from inception to production, ensuring scalability, resilience, and long-term maintainability.

• Design and evolve mission-critical architecture - Architect and build our central merchant configuration artefacts, ensuring 24/7 uptime while meeting data consistency and low latency requirements. These systems enable critical infrastructure such as our Switch Engine or E-Commerce Gateway and provide essential data services across the organisation, while also enabling our Customer Service agents to effectively support our merchants.

• Enhance our pricing and quoting engine - Contribute to the evolution of Tyro’s pricing products, applying strong engineering principles and a solid understanding of financial mathematics to deliver accurate, scalable, and performant solutions.

• Own what you build - Take accountability for both merchant and internal staff experience under a “you build it, you run it” mindset, driving operational excellence, observability, and continuous improvement.

• Innovate and experiment - Explore and trial emerging technologies, including AI-driven solutions, to continuously improve our platforms and ways of working.

• Influence through technical leadership - Use your expertise to guide and uplift other engineers, while partnering with product managers and senior stakeholders to align technical decisions with Tyro’s broader vision and strategy.

What you'll bring

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline or equivalent practical experience.

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of delivering and operating complex, production-grade systems.

• Deep hands-on expertise in Java and/or Kotlin, designing and building scalable, resilient backend systems. Experience with Go or other strongly typed languages is a plus.

• You have experience with AI development tools such as Cursor, Copilot or Claude Code.

• Strong experience designing and operating cloud-native systems on AWS, with a solid understanding of distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and building scalable, resilient applications.

• Proven ability to design and evolve system architecture, balancing short-term delivery with long-term scalability, maintainability, and performance.

• Advanced experience with CI/CD, GitOps, and containerised deployments, including GitHub, GitHub Actions, Argo CD, and Kubernetes.

• Strong operational mindset with hands-on experience in observability and production monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, etc.), and confidence leading incident response, root cause analysis, and post-incident improvements.

• A high degree of ownership - you take responsibility for the systems you build, champion reliability and security, and drive continuous improvement under a “you build it, you run it” philosophy.

• The ability to mentor and uplift other engineers through thoughtful code reviews, architectural guidance, and knowledge sharing.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear business outcomes and align teams around a shared engineering vision.
