About the team

The Payments Reporting team sits at the heart of SumUp's financial infrastructure, building the systems that millions of merchants rely on every day to reconcile, report, and understand their money. We're in the middle of something genuinely exciting: building a reporting platform that serves both external integrators and internal teams at scale - delivering everything from file-based exports to real-time API reporting. This role exists because our ambitions have grown faster than our current team of three backend engineers can sustain alone, and we need someone who can take meaningful ownership of complex backend work, freeing the team to move faster on the architectural changes that matter most.

What you'll do

• Build and maintain backend reporting features across Payout Reports, Payment Reports, Fee Invoices, and Transaction Reports
• Develop and own Reporting APIs (including Transaction History and Payout History) that serve both external integrators and internal clients
• Contribute to the migration of core payments functionality away from legacy systems, modernising the infrastructure that underpins our reporting platform
• Take ownership of the operational health of reporting services: monitoring, incident response, and performance optimisation
• Participate actively in planning and refinement sessions, bringing technical assessments and effort estimations to the table
• Support junior engineers through code reviews, pairing sessions, and knowledge sharing

You'll be great for this role if you have:

• Strong experience building scalable, production-grade backend systems in Golang, with a solid grasp of concurrency patterns, goroutines, and channels
• Deep familiarity with software design principles - SOLID, common design patterns, and microservices architecture - and the experience to apply them pragmatically
• Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL or similar SQL databases, including query optimisation and database modelling
• Confidence working in Kubernetes environments, configuring and managing resources 
• Clear, confident communication in English - written and spoken - and a collaborative approach to engineering: giving and receiving feedback openly
