Full Stack Engineering JD Senior Full-Stack Engineer, Payments Remote • US + LATAM • Engineering Build the rails that move money home. Every year, more than half a trillion dollars crosses borders between people. Most of it is slow, expensive, and stuck in infrastructure built for a different era. We're rebuilding the rails. Palla powers instant cross-border P2P payments through APIs and white-label apps that financial institutions and fintechs embed into their own products, moving money in seconds across 180+ countries. We're backed by Revolution Ventures, Y Combinator, and Cowboy Ventures, and live with partners reaching 150M+ end customers across LATAM and the Caribbean. If you want to ship code that moves real money for real families, keep reading.

You'll join a world-class, AI-native engineering team operating with a level of leverage and speed that traditional orgs can't match. We ship weekly, not quarterly. Engineers talk directly to customers. Generalists own vertical slices end-to-end. Agents handle the toil; humans handle the judgment. As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer, you'll own meaningful parts of the Palla platform end-to-end, including API design, backend services, partner integrations, white-label clients, and the infrastructure underneath. You'll ship to production weekly, on real payment rails, with all the rigor that demands.
