Backed by $54M from Index Ventures, Invus, Red Sea Ventures, Major Food Group, and MoonPay, we're scaling into our most consequential phase of growth. We're adding exceptional talent to drive what comes next, and that's where you come in.

About the Role

Dorsia is seeking a Payments Engineer to own the entire financial layer of our platform. This spans member dining payments, billing and renewals, dining credits and redemptions, operator reconciliation, and corporate account management for our B2B products. Dorsia Pay, our proprietary frictionless dining product, is the most visible expression of this work, but it is one surface of many.

Qualified individuals have proven experience building payments infrastructure in production and understand the full lifecycle of a transaction. You have worked with the hospitality or restaurant tech ecosystem and understand firsthand the nuances of POS integration and operations-facing systems.

What You'll Do

Payments Infrastructure

  • Own the core payments infrastructure that supports every financial transaction on the Dorsia platform, from member-facing dining payments to billing and corporate accounts.
  • Design and maintain payment processing architecture and build integrations with payment processors, acquirers, and card networks.
  • Own the membership billing lifecycle including recurring charges, failed payment recovery, and cancellation flows.
  • Support corporate and B2B billing surfaces that sit alongside the consumer product.
  • Implement and maintain PCI-compliant data handling practices across all payments.

Restaurant and Operator Integrations

  • Own integrations with POS systems and restaurant technology platforms including SevenRooms, Toast, and Square.
  • Build robust, fault-tolerant integration layers that account for the operational realities of restaurant systems in production.
  • Design operator-side reconciliation and payout flows, as well as integration architecture that scales to new venues and markets smoothly.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work with the Finance team on reconciliation, reporting, and the downstream workflows that depend on accurate transaction data.
  • Collaborate with the Security Engineering team on fraud controls, access patterns, and the security posture of the financial layer.
  • Partner with the Product team to shape how payments experiences evolve across the member app, operator tools, and overall marketplace.

The Winning Recipe

  • Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
  • 5+ years of backend engineering experience with at least 2 years focused on payments systems in production.
  • Hands-on experience with payment processors and thorough understanding of authorization, capture, settlement, and reconciliation end-to-end.
  • Experience building subscription or membership billing systems, including failure recovery and lifecycle management.
  • Prior experience integrating with POS or restaurant technology platforms.
  • Working knowledge of PCI-DSS compliance requirements.
  • Clear, direct communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders across finance, operations, and restaurant operators.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, complex environment involving cross-functional projects.
  • A genuine interest in the Dorsia product, the member experience, and what it means to build for hospitality at this level.
