A Day-in-a-Life of our Senior Engineer, Billing and Payments

As our Senior Engineer, Billing and Payments, you own the flow of money through EatClub: from the moment a customer pays at a venue, through our payment partners, to the venue being settled and invoiced. On the payments side you build and extend the flows our customers and partners rely on every day, working with the staff engineer who sets their direction. On the billing side you are the squad's lead on settlements,



invoicing and collections across Australia, the UK and Recent Zealand, with Finance as your daily counterpart. Too much of this still happens by hand today, and you will change that. This is a hands‑on senior engineering role in a small, high-ownership squad.

On any given week, you will be:

- Building and extending our payment flows: new payment methods, new partner integrations and improvements to how customers pay at venues
- Keeping our payments reliable: investigating failures, fixing root causes and improving the signals that tell us something is wrong
- Making sure every venue is settled correctly, every cycle, in every market
- Building and extending our billing: invoicing, fees, tax and collections, so what a venue sees matches what our ledger says
- Working with Finance to reconcile money end to end, and fixing the system when the numbers do not match
- Replacing manual processes and support tickets with features, on both the payments and billing side
- Reviewing code, protecting financial correctness with tests, and mentoring the squad's mid-level engineer

Projects you'll be working on at EatClub...

Sample initiatives you may lead:

- Delivering the payment flow improvements designed with the staff engineer, from first commit to production




- Integrating new payment partners and markets so customers can pay the way they expect, wherever they are
- Improving payment reliability and observability so failures are rare, visible and quickly understood
- Making venue settlements correct by design rather than by manual adjustment
- Rebuilding billing so fees, adjustments and tax are handled consistently across markets
- Automating collections so overdue invoices are chased by the system, not by Finance
- Reconciliation tooling that lets anyone trace a transaction from payment to invoice to payout
- At least 5 years of software engineering experience, including 2+ years building production payments, billing or other systems where correctness is measured in cents
- Working knowledge of card payments: how a payment is authorised, captured, refunded and settled, and what can go wrong along the way
- Hands‑on experience integrating with a modern payment provider such as Stripe
- Experience building or operating billing and invoicing systems, including tax and collections
- Double‑entry thinking: you understand ledgers and reconciliation, and you design so every movement of money has a matching record
- Strong backend engineering in a up-to-date language on cloud infrastructure, with thorough testing of financial logic
- A track record of delivering significant projects end-to-end in production
- Experience debugging intermittent production issues to root cause and preventing recurrence
- The ability to work day to day with Finance and Customer Support and translate their problems into system changes
- Fluency with AI development tools and judgement about where they help and where they mislead

It would be extra awesome
