Software Engineer

Summary

Build and maintain payment APIs and web apps on GCP using React, Node.js, and Java; your code powers millions of daily transactions in the Philippines.

Who We Are

SKYPAY is a BSP-licensed fintech company accelerating the future of digital commerce in the Philippines. We build the mission-critical payment gateways, automated collection switches, and bulk disbursement engines that bridge enterprises, startups, and millions of users every day.

We don't just process transactions; we replace slow, legacy banking loops with high-velocity, automated, and secure programmatic infrastructure. If you want your code to touch millions of daily financial workflows, this is where you build it.

Role Overview

We are seeking a result-driven Software Engineer to drive the development of our web applications and APIs. This is a hands-on role focused on coding, debugging, and delivering functional features using Google Cloud Platform (GCP). You will collaborate with Product and Design teams to turn requirements into high-performing software.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain APIs and backend services on GCP.
  • Build and maintain front-end features using React.js, Node.js, and JavaScript.
  • Work with JSON for data exchange between front-end and backend.
  • Design and work with relational or NoSQL databases (schema design, queries, indexing, migrations).
  • Implement data models and business logic for backend services.
  • Ensure API performance, reliability, and proper error handling.
  • Deploy and monitor backend services on GCP (Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Cloud SQL, etc.).
  • Participate in code reviews and testing to ensure high-quality, maintainable code.
  • Collaborate with the Product and Design teams to implement functional, user-friendly features.
  • Track tasks and progress in a project management tool.

What we’re looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science/related field with strong practical experience.
  • 2–5 years of experience in software development, preferably in full-stack or end-to-end software development roles.
  • Hands-on experience with GCP, APIs, Java, React.js, Node.js, JavaScript, and JSON.
  • Experience working with databases (SQL or NoSQL), including basic schema design and writing queries.
  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving, collaborative team environment.
  • Execution-focused, proactive, and reliable.
  • GCP Certification (Associate Cloud Engineer, Professional Cloud Developer) is a plus, but not mandatory.
  • Any front-end/full-stack web development certifications (React, Node.js, JavaScript) is helpful but optional.
  • Proven experience building full-stack applications and APIs.
  • Comfortable using version control systems like Git or BitBucket.
  • Familiarity with agile development processes.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to debug across front-end and backend.
  • Ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical teams.
  • Willingness to learn new tools or frameworks as the product evolves.

What we offer:

  • Hyper-Scale Operational Impact: You aren't building small internal tools. SKYPAY processes over 50 million transactions annually—equivalent to more than ₱180 billion ($3 billion USD) in Total Payments Volume (TPV). Your code will directly impact the nationwide digital economy every single day.
  • Accelerated Career & Growth Trajectory: We thrive on startup agility. We actively prioritize young talent with fast growth potential. Your advancement here is dictated by your technical output and problem-solving execution, not your years on a clock.
  • Premium HQ Location: Work in a high-energy environment right at the 29th Floor of SM Megatower (directly connected to SM Megamall). Enjoy direct MRT-3/EDSA transit access, endless dining options, and a vibrant workspace right in the heart of Ortigas Center.
  • Technical Autonomy: We cultivate an engineering-driven culture. If you can prove a better architecture design, optimize a database query, or build a cleaner automation flow, you own the deployment.

Industry-Standard Benefits:

  • Competitive salary package — your skills are valued here.
  • Annual salary increase — grow with us and get rewarded for it.
  • Performance-based annual incentives — we recognize and reward high-impact contributions.
  • HMO coverage upon regularization — with the option to enroll dependents.
  • Paid leaves — sick leave, vacation leave, and more (unused SL is convertible to cash).
  • Training and development support — we invest in your professional growth.
  • Supportive and inclusive team culture — A highly collaborative, tight-knit culture that invests deeply in your personal and professional development.
  • Employee engagement events — monthly engagement initiatives, team building, company dinners, and an epic year-end party.
  • Career advancement — real opportunities to grow in a fast-growing FinTech company.
