Shape Xero’s provider-agnostic payment integrations as a Senior Backend Engineer in Vancouver’s hybrid Payments Platform team.
This senior position focuses on building payment foundations across providers, methods, regions, onboarding, risk, compliance, and reconciliation. You will own meaningful work end-to-end, from technical design through production, while keeping payment experiences secure, trusted, and easy to use.
