Job Description

What is Xweave?

Xweave is on a mission to revolutionize global money movement by pioneering a next-generation payment service that breaks through the traditional barriers in the financial ecosystem.

What is the role?

Build the infrastructure that moves money across borders in real-time using stablecoins. You'll work on mission-critical systems that run 24/7, processing transactions across some of the world's most dynamic markets.

Node.js

is your weapon of choice. You'll design and ship features end-to-end, own critical systems, and directly impact how fast, secure, and reliable our platform is. This isn't a "maintenance mode" role. You'll build new things, solve hard problems, and see your code handle real money at scale.

What You'll Do

Build Payment Systems That Actually Work

Design and ship scalable payment services (fiat + crypto) that handle high transaction volumes with zero downtime Implement SAGA patterns, orchestration flows (Temporal/Restate), and event-driven architectures Own features from concept to production--full ownership, full impact

Payment Domain Work

Build settlement, reconciliation, fraud prevention, and KYC/AML workflows Work with cross-border payment rails and stablecoin infrastructure Create run-books and tools for faster incident resolution (e.g., faster MTTR for payment/production failures)

Keep Things Running

Be on-call and frontline during incidents (we'll train you, but you need to stay calm under pressure) Implement monitoring, logging, and observability that actually helps Do SPOF analysis, optimize costs, and make systems more resilient

Security & Compliance (non-negotiable)

Protect financial data and ensure compliance with PCI DSS, MAS TRM, ISO 27001

Collaborate & Lead

Work with product and business teams to turn ideas into engineering solutions Mentor other engineers, share knowledge, level up the team Build AI tools to help our support team work faster Make build vs buy calls on tools and services
