OrderYOYO is an online ordering and marketing platform for restaurants and takeaways that provides bespoke websites and mobile apps, a cloud POS, integrated payment processing (YOYOPay), and targeted marketing services (email, SMS, app push, Google Ads, social media). It offers features like loyalty programs, reservations, analytics via a My Business app, and dedicated support to help restaurants capture direct orders, reduce commission fees, and grow customer retention. The company positions itself as a Google Partner and serves thousands of restaurants with tailored digital storefronts and marketing campaigns.

📋 Description

• Lead the people, architecture, and delivery behind OrderYOYO's payments platform — enabling KYC onboarding, deductions, settlement/payout timing, dispute flows, and merchant invoicing. • Grow a high-performing engineering team and raise the bar on reliability, security, and engineering quality. • Own hiring and team-building for the payments engineering function. • Run day-to-day people management: 1:1s, goal-setting, performance reviews, and career progression conversations. • Build a team culture where payments knowledge is documented and shared. • Set the technical direction and long-term architecture strategy for payment-domain services. • Oversee marketplace capabilities and ensure robust “flow-of-funds” primitives across the team's systems. • Partner closely with Product, Legal/Compliance, Finance, and Support to convert requirements into safe, testable production behaviour.

🎯 Requirements

• Proven experience leading, mentoring, or people-managing a team of software engineers — including hiring, performance management, and career development. • Strong backend engineering background in distributed systems — microservices, async processing, resilient APIs, and eventual consistency. • Production experience with payment flows (auth/capture/refund, webhooks, reconciliation) and “money correctness” patterns such as idempotency keys, double-entry thinking, and auditability. • A solid security mindset: PCI compliance, PII protection, secrets management, least privilege, and secure coding practices. • Comfort working in an Azure-first environment (APIs, queues/eventing, monitoring), with strong CI/CD and automated testing practices. • Clear, confident communication with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders in high-stakes scenarios — incidents, financial breaks, and compliance requests. • Strong judgement on when to move fast, when to standardise, and when to say “not yet” with evidence — balancing team capacity, technical debt, and business priorities.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary • Remote role — work from wherever you do your best work • Quarterly in-person gatherings at one of our global offices • High ownership and autonomy • Clear leadership mandate • Opportunity to lead work on revenue-critical production systems • Strong focus on security, reliability, and engineering best practices • Collaborative, international engineering team • Real emphasis on learning, mentoring, and long-term growth
