Senior Software Engineer – Back End
Tillster
Senior Software Engineer – Back End Location San Diego Office Employment Type Full time Location Type Hybrid Department Software Engineering Compensation - $150K – $180K Role: Senior Software Engineer – Back End Hybrid Role, MUST BE BASED IN SAN DIEGO, CA About the Role We are looking for a Senior Engineer (bordering on Architect) to own and evolve the payment-terminal platform behind our kiosks: a layer of 40+ integrations spanning card-present terminals, semi-integrated and cloud processors, and cash automation. You will re-architect this into a modular, pluggable SDK so internal teams and external/third-party developers can build new integrations against a stable, versioned contract without forking the core, and you will stay hands-on, implementing new integrations down to the wire-level protocol. What You'll Do (architecture and ownership) - Own the payments domain end to end on the kiosk platform: authorize, capture, void, refund, reversal, settlement (EOD), and reconciliation. - Re-architect the platform into a pluggable payment SDK: design the plugin contract and lifecycle (discovery/registration, versioning and backward compatibility, capability negotiation, dependency isolation, per-integration configuration and secrets) on top of the existing PayTerminal SPI. - Design a terminal abstraction that cleanly spans integrated vs. semi-integrated vs. cloud/REST processors and cash devices, so callers code to one model regardless of transport or vendor. - Build the integration test and certification harness (extending the current mock-terminal approach) so a new or external integration can be validated, simulated, and regression-tested before it touches real hardware. - Set platform-wide patterns for correctness in money movement: idempotency, transaction recovery and reversal, timeouts, heartbeat/health, concurrency, and reconciliation, in a system where double-charges and dropped captures are unacceptable. - Design for PCI-DSS scope minimization: tokenization, P2PE, per-processor TLS/mTLS and certificate/key handling, so cardholder data stays out of in-scope services. Partner with security/QSA on audits. - Drive architecture and design reviews, set technical direction for the integration layer, and mentor engineers building integrations. What You'll Do (hands-on, low to high level) - Implement new terminal integrations end to end, from byte-level protocol (framing, TLV/BMP/APDU, BCD/LLVAR, checksums, ACK/NAK state machines) up to the high-level PayTerminal API. - Work directly with serial (RS-232 / USB-serial via jssc) and USB (usb4java) transports: port handling, event-driven reads, reconnection, and timing. - Integrate high-level and cloud processor APIs (REST/SOAP, webhooks, semi-integrated terminal SDKs) with robust retry, polling, and reconciliation. - Debug live hardware: protocol traces, terminal logs, packet captures, and vendor certification cycles. About You (required) - 6+ years back-end engineering with strong Java (the platform is multi-module Maven/Java on Spring) and solid OOP and distributed-systems design. - Demonstrated experience designing extensible / plugin / SPI-based architectures (ServiceLoader, OSGi, Spring plugin models, or public SDKs consumed by other teams or third parties). - Hands-on low-level device and protocol experience: serial and/or USB communication and binary protocol implementation (TLV, BCD, bitmaps, length-prefixed fields, state machines). EMV, ISO 8583, ZVT, or OPI a strong plus. - Direct payment-terminal / POS integration experience (Verifone, Ingenico, Adyen, Shift4, FreedomPay, SIX, Nepting, SiTef, Redsys, Worldpay, or comparable), and a clear understanding of integrated vs. semi-integrated models. - Solid grasp of the card transaction lifecycle (auth, capture, void, refund, settlement, reversal) and PCI-DSS boundaries, tokenization, and TLS/mTLS in production. - Track record of technical leadership: leading designs, setting standards, and mentoring engineers. Nice-to-haves - Cash automation and recyclers (Vynamic Cash or similar), end-of-day and reconciliation tooling. - Regional acquiring experience (LatAm, EU, Middle East) and multi-currency payments. - Loyalty, stored-value, gift, or wallet (Apple Pay / Google Pay) integration. - Vendor certification experience with acquirers and processors; 3-D Secure / SCA, fraud/risk tooling. Thriving at Tillster As a member of Tillster, you will embody our core values: · Put Customers First: Prioritize the needs and satisfaction of our customers in all decisions and actions appropriate to Tillster’s stage of development, resources, and stated goals. · Collaborate: Work together effectively, leveraging diverse perspectives to achieve common goals. · Innovate: Embrace creativity and pursue new ideas to drive progress and improvement. · Operate from Data: Use strong critical thinking skills to make informed decisions based on accurate and relevant data. · Drive Results: Focus on achieving tangible outcomes and delivering high performance. · Own It: Take responsibility for your actions and the success of your work. · Be Passionate and Have Fun: Bring enthusiasm to your work and enjoy the journey.
