About this job

ABOUT THE ROLE As a Senior Software Engineer on the Pay squad, you'll own the systems that move money to Handshake AI's global fellow workforce. That includes earnings calculation, payout generation, Stripe-backed disbursement, and the operator tooling that runs every pay cycle. You'll also be helping us build out a much more sophisticated Trust & Safety surface area: KYC and identity verification, sanctions and fraud screening, and time-tracking audit systems that catch suspicious activity throughout Handshake AI. This is a role for engineers who treat reliability, auditability, and resilience as first-class design constraints. Pay can't go down. Ban decisions can't be silent. Webhooks can't be lost. You'll set the bar for how these systems are designed, deployed, and verified.

This is a short summary.
