Summary
You will build and maintain critical subscription, renewal, and payment logic while ensuring the reliability of webhooks and payment events. The role involves integrating with payment processors and writing robust automated tests to handle complex financial edge cases.
Job Description
Backend Engineer – Payments, TypeScript (Remote — LATAM)About the Role
Our client processes serious subscription volume, and every renewal, plan change, and upgrade has to resolve into the right charge, the right credit, and the right event — every time — or a customer's order doesn't ship. You'll work in the backend of that system: subscription and renewal logic, credit ledgers, payment events, and webhook reliability.
The core stack is TypeScript (Google Cloud Functions) alongside Go services — you'll live mostly in TypeScript, and we'll teach you the Go you need. If you've built billing, checkout, or transaction systems in Node/TypeScript and sweat correctness, this role was written for you.
What You'll Do
- Build the money logic — subscription lifecycle, renewals, credits, and plan-change machinery that decides what a customer owes and what happens next.
- Guard the signal — every transaction emits a payment event that gates fulfillment; you'll treat event correctness and webhook reliability as the core of the job.
- Integrate the stack — work with payment processors and orchestration APIs, handling auth/capture, refunds, retries, and edge cases cleanly.
- Test like it's load-bearing — automated coverage written alongside the code; partial credits and multi-cycle renewals have too many edge cases for manual QA.
- Close the loop when needed — comfort touching the React surfaces your APIs feed is a plus; deep frontend work isn't the job.
The Stack
- Backend: TypeScript (Google Cloud Functions), Go, Temporal, Postgres
- Frontend: React, React Native (light touch)
- Infra/Observability: GCP, Datadog
Why This Role
- Own revenue-critical logic at real transaction volume — your work is impossible to miss.
- Small, senior team with direct access to product and leadership; no ticket-factory dynamics.
- Long-term, stable engagement through Maxana with direct integration into the client's team.
- Fully remote, LATAM-friendly hours.
- 3+ years of backend TypeScript/Node in production — services, APIs, and async workflows, not just scripts.
- Payments or billing experience strongly preferred — subscriptions, webhooks, PSP integrations (Stripe, PayPal, Adyen, or similar), or other financial-correctness domains (ledgers, lending, e-commerce checkout).
- Postgres fluency — schema design and queries you'd defend in review.
- Willingness to learn Go — some of the platform lives in Go services; you don't need it on day one, but you need to want it.
- Testing-minded by instinct — you write the test alongside the code.
- AI-native workflow — you use AI-assisted engineering tools as part of your craft. Expected, not optional.
- Strong written and spoken English and availability on US business hours

MaxanaPay is a payment orchestration platform built for businesses where payments are hard: high-risk verticals, healthcare and telehealth, hospitality, and complex e-commerce.
One integration connects you to multiple processors. Our routing engine sends every transaction to the processor most likely to approve it. Smart retry and dunning logic recover revenue you'd already written off. Built-in fraud screening and chargeback management protect the revenue you keep — all in one dashboard.
What merchants see on the platform:
→ Up to 40% reduction in chargebacks
→ 15% improvement in authorization rates
→ Onboarding in days, not months
Behind the platform is a payments-first team that has built and optimized payment systems from seed stage to $1.7B GMV. We're not generalists who added payments — payments is the whole company.
Every engagement starts with a free payment audit: we baseline your approval rates, decline patterns, and processing costs, then show you exactly where revenue is leaking — before you commit to anything.
