Senior Backend Developer — Payments & Subscriptions
Technologies
Description
We’re looking for a Backend Developer to take ownership of backend systems for our iOS applications — from core API logic to payment infrastructure and subscription flows.
We process subscription payments through web funnels (webview in iOS apps), so
this role requires deep focus on payment systems, subscription logic, and integrations.
Direct revenue impact.
What you’ll do
Develop and maintain backend services and APIs for mobile applications (iOS)
Own backend systems related to payments and subscriptions
Implement and optimize payment systems (Stripe and similar)
Build subscription lifecycle logic — rebilling, dunning, retries, cancellations
Work with webhooks and event-driven payment processes
Build and support admin panels for subscriptions and content management
Integrate third-party services — analytics, payment providers, external APIs
Design scalable backend architecture and ensure system reliability
Work with databases — user data, payments, subscriptions
Collaborate with product and frontend teams
Requirements
5+ years of commercial backend development experience
Strong Node.js (TypeScript)
REST API development, NestJS preferred
Hands-on experience with payment systems (Stripe or similar)
Real experience with subscription logic — rebilling, lifecycle, dunning
Webhooks and async / event-driven patterns
Strong experience with SQL databases (PostgreSQL)
Experience working with Redis (caching / queues)
Understanding of scalable backend architecture
Nice to have
Message queues — RabbitMQ / Kafka
Admin panels or internal tooling
Analytics integrations
High-load systems experience
Docker, AWS / GCP
We’re NOT looking for
Developers with only basic CRUD/API experience
Candidates without hands-on payment system experience
Candidates without real subscription logic experience
Developers who can’t clearly explain their backend decisions
What we offer
Work on a real product with direct impact on revenue
Ownership of backend and payment systems
Remote work and flexible schedule
Fast product iterations without unnecessary bureaucracy
Strong product team and engineering culture
