The Team:

Our focus is teaming with smart engineers who are passionate about their craft and excited to build software for our unique solutions in the space.

PayPal’s APIs are largely REST APIs built in Java, but we also have components built in Ruby, Clojure, Node, and a variety of other technologies. We are also continuing to invest in GraphQL, and also offer merchants and partners a platform based on serverless technologies, running at the edge, that enables them to add custom functionality to our platform.

Communication is key to our process, and we don't want to hinder it with walls. Our teams are geographically diverse and adept at collaborating across long distances. Some of our teams utilize pair programming, which means you always have another set of eyes to help you; teams that don’t utilize pair programming still emphasize collaboration as key to building quality solutions.

We practice test-driven development and believe that it helps us deliver simple solutions focused on real customer needs. We have no QA department – developers test, release and monitor their own code.

We value unique perspectives brought by diverse backgrounds and experiences. A broad range of ideas and perspectives help us to create the best possible product.

What we look for in you:

• 3+ years experience building software or web applications with object oriented or functional programming languages. Doesn’t matter what language, just a focus on writing clean, well designed and scalable code.
• Ability and desire to work in our collaborative environment: open team room, pair programming, and fluid interactions with all products and operations teams
• Interest in TDD and specific experiences using a test heavy approach to solve problems and create solutions
• Focus on building solutions utilizing an agile approach: close relationships with Product Managers, communicating and digesting real time feedback, and working with Product and other stakeholders to define the work the team will focus on

Perks:

• Open dev days: every two weeks, we spend a day working on projects that interest us and help us expand our skills and knowledge.
• Participation in the technology community: we help cover travel and attendance costs for conferences, and we offer opportunities and tools for speaking.
• Check out our Careers page for more company perks.
