Wayfair is moving the world so that anyone can live in a home they love – a journey enabled by more than 3000 Wayfair engineers. Payments Engineering team owns global payments processing across all of Wayfair’s markets and brands, processing more than $14B revenue in 2020.
The Payments team’s mission is to provide a reliable, secure & scalable platform that enables Wayfair to provide the widest range of payment options to our customers through a world-class frictionless experience.
We are building a cross-functional group of polyglot software engineers, security engineers, data engineers, data analysts, and product managers. Our goal is to move fast, deliver value iteratively while ensuring the stability & correctness of our mission-critical payments systems.
We are establishing truly global distributed systems with consistency requirements implemented as a set of well-bounded micro-services that communicate over low-latency synchronous and asynchronous APIs. Intrigued? Read on and apply.
