What is a Software Engineer at Paddle?
A Software Engineer at Paddle plays a critical role in building and scaling the ultimate merchant-of-record platform for software companies. Paddle removes the operational pain of running a global SaaS business by taking care of payment routing, tax compliance, billing, and fraud prevention. As an engineer here, you will design and implement highly reliable systems that handle millions of transactions, ensuring financial accuracy and seamless checkout experiences for millions of users worldwide.
The engineering culture at Paddle is highly collaborative and focused on real-world impact. You will not just write code; you will solve complex domain-specific problems such as multi-tenant ledger systems, dynamic tax calculations, and robust developer APIs. Your work directly enables software creators to launch and scale their products globally without worrying about local regulations or payment infrastructure complexities.
This position demands a balance of technical pragmatism and rigorous engineering standards. Because Paddle sits in the flow of funds for thousands of businesses, performance, security, and high availability are not optional. You will work in cross-functional teams alongside product managers, designers, and site reliability engineers to deliver robust, developer-centric solutions at scale.
