About the role :

Your mission will be to contribute to the whole development process, from the design of the system to the deployment and monitoring in prod.

The role of the Payroll squad is to ensure that PayFit clients can close their payroll reliably and on time. The squad provides a comprehensive and scalable solution to the local teams of each country where PayFit is accessible. Internally the squad guarantees that all business domains covered by the PayFit product can impact safely the payroll of our clients.

The squad is responsible for the maintenance and evolution of a set of services critical to PayFit. These services allow for instance to calculate the monthly payroll of clients, generate the payslips of employees, let a client undo a monthly payroll in autonomy, or display a preview of payslips at any time. The domain is broad and deployed across three different countries, which offers exciting architectural challenges.
