we are looking for a Team Lead R&D, Modernization, AI.
What youll do:
The Modernization Team mandate is to identify and solve the deepest, most systemic architectural challenges in the platform - problems that are too strategic and cross-cutting for any single product team to own, yet too impactful to leave unresolved.
It is not a feature team. You do not own a single service or product surface. Instead, the team operates as a platform-level force multiplier: it takes on the hardest problems, build shared solutions and tooling, and enable every product team at Payoneer to move faster and more safely. You will lead the full cycle from the discovery, design, building, and validating solutions, unblocking critical initiatives, and setting technical direction that other teams can confidently adopt.
This is a brand-new team being built from the ground up. You will have an outsized opportunity to shape how we work, what we prioritize, and the engineering culture we create together.
Requirements: 4+ years as Team Lead
6+ years of experience with backend development, preferably C# and Node.js
6+ years of experience with advanced SQL (MSSQL/MySQL/PostgreSQL, etc.)
4+ years of experience with NoSQL database, preferably MongoDB
Experience with building SaaS platforms for cloud-based products, preferably AWS
Experience with Containers and Kubernetes (K8s), preferably EKS
Experience with Event-Driven Architecture
Experience with Message Brokers such as RabbitMQ/SQS/Kafka, preferably Kafka
Experience with Microservices development
Experience with AI tools for leveraging team velocity & quality
B.S. in computer science or equivalent
