Job Description

About the opportunity

Join our Embedded Payments team as Sr. Fullstack Software Engineer in  Pune, India to make a real impact every day. We say that because we know that every conversation we have, every code line we write and every interface we design is another opportunity for us to elevate everyday life experiences for our customers and the people and communities they serve.

Reporting into the Director of Software Engineering,  you'll take ownership of complex, cross-cutting problems across our cloud-native payment orchestration platform that processes significant transaction volume across multiple Xplor brands — from API contract through data model to UI. You'll be a technical anchor for your area: setting direction on design, raising the bar on code quality and testing, and mentoring mid-level engineers as the team scales. You're comfortable owning ambiguous problems end-to-end and collaborating closely with Product, QA, and DevOps to make sound trade-offs between speed and long-term platform health.

We're looking for someone who treats AI tooling as a force multiplier. You should be fluent with modern AI-assisted development workflows (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar) and have a point of view on how to use them well — where they accelerate work, where they need guardrails, and how to keep quality high as velocity increases.
