Anttix

Job Title: Senior Java Team Lead (Payments)
Company: VCG Tech Limited
Location: Remote (Global)
Employment Type: Full-Time

Role Purpose

You will lead the team that builds and runs our payments platform, the systems that move client money in and out of an online trading business. This covers deposit and withdrawal orchestration, integration with multiple third-party payment service providers, payout flows, and reconciliation. This is money-movement software, so correctness, idempotency, traceability and reliability are the standard, not aspirations. You own the architecture, the technical direction and the delivery accountability for a domain where a single mishandled transaction is a real problem for a real client.

This is a hands-on, coding team lead role. You will spend meaningful time in a Java and Spring Boot microservices codebase, with enough React and TypeScript to lead a fullstack team across the payment journeys clients and operations staff actually use. Day to day you balance writing and reviewing code, shaping the architecture, and growing the engineers around you, working closely with product, operations and other engineering teams to ship reliable payment flows. The team works remotely and you report to the CTO.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture and money-movement correctness

• Own the architecture of deposit, withdrawal, payout and reconciliation services across a Java microservices backend
• Design transaction flows that are idempotent, auditable and safe under retries, timeouts and partial failures
• Define how state transitions, ledgering and reconciliation guarantee that money is never lost, duplicated or stranded
• Set the standards for data consistency, event-driven messaging and failure handling across the team
• Drive technical decisions on resilience, observability and recovery for critical payment paths

Hands-on delivery

• Write, review and merge production code in Java and Spring Boot, leading by example on quality
• Build and maintain REST APIs and event-driven integrations between payment services
• Contribute to the React and TypeScript front end for client and operations payment journeys
• Keep CI/CD, automated testing and deployment pipelines healthy and fast
• Tackle the hardest or highest-risk parts of the work yourself when it matters most

Provider integration and reliability

• Lead integration with multiple third-party payment service providers behind a clean internal abstraction
• Design provider routing, fallback and retry behaviour that stays correct when a provider degrades or fails
• Build reconciliation between internal records and provider settlements to detect and resolve discrepancies
• Own monitoring, alerting and on-call readiness for payment flows using observability tooling
• Lead incident response for payment issues and turn root causes into lasting fixes

Team leadership and delivery

• Lead, mentor and grow a team of backend and fullstack engineers
• Own planning, prioritisation and delivery commitments for the payments roadmap
• Run pragmatic code review, design review and engineering practices that keep quality high
• Partner with product, operations and other teams to translate needs into reliable delivery
• Be accountable for the team's output, timelines and the operational health of what you ship

Required Experience & Skills

• Proven team-management experience is essential - you have directly led a team of engineers as their team lead, owning day-to-day coordination, planning, 1:1s, mentoring, performance and growth, and the team's delivery, while remaining hands-on with code
• 8+ years building backend systems in Java, with deep Spring Boot and microservices experience
• Strong track record building systems where correctness and reliability are critical, ideally involving money movement, transactions or other high-integrity data
• Practical mastery of idempotency, retries, distributed transactions and failure handling in distributed systems
• Strong SQL and relational database skills, including data modelling for transactional and reconciliation workloads
• Hands-on experience with event-driven architectures and message queues
• Experience designing and operating REST APIs and integrating with third-party providers at scale
• Working proficiency in React and TypeScript, enough to lead a fullstack team and contribute to the front end
• Solid experience running services on AWS with Docker, CI/CD and Git-based workflows
• Clear communicator who can drive technical decisions and align engineering with product and operations

Nice to Have

• Experience in payments, payment orchestration or integrating multiple payment service providers
• Background in reconciliation, ledgering or settlement systems
• Experience in fintech, brokerage or online trading domains
• Familiarity with KYC/AML and fraud-prevention concepts at a generic level
• Kubernetes experience for deploying and operating microservices
• Infrastructure-as-code experience, for example Terraform
• Hands-on experience with observability tooling such as Grafana, Prometheus or CloudWatch
• Comfortable working in a remote, product-team-oriented engineering organisation

Company: VCG Tech Limited
Location: Remote
Employment Type: Full-Time

Role Purpose

This role owns the backend services behind our introducing-broker and partner program: partner onboarding, multi-level partner commission and rebate logic, and the reporting that partners rely on to understand their earnings. These services sit at the intersection of trading activity and partner payouts, so getting them right matters commercially and to the trust partners place in the program. You will design, build and operate Java microservices that must be accurate, reliable and maintainable on a live financial platform.

Day to day you will write and review clean, well-tested code, design sound APIs, and integrate with the trading platform and other backend services through REST and event-driven messaging. You will work in a focused, remote product team, collaborating closely with fellow engineers, product and QA, and sharing responsibility for the reliability of what you ship. As a senior individual contributor you will set a high bar in code review, mentor through example, and report into the team's engineering lead.

Key Responsibilities

Build and Own Partner Platform Services

• Design, build and maintain Java microservices for partner onboarding, commission/rebate processing and reporting
• Translate partner-program requirements into well-structured, testable services with clear ownership boundaries
• Design clean, versioned REST APIs and stable contracts that other teams can depend on
• Model and evolve relational data to keep partner and reward records accurate and auditable
• Take features from design through implementation, release and operation in production

Integrate Across the Platform

• Integrate with the MetaTrader 5 trading platform to source the trading activity that drives partner rewards
• Build resilient integrations with other backend services across onboarding, payments and reporting
• Design event-driven flows using messaging to keep data consistent across service boundaries
• Handle failure modes, retries and idempotency so financial calculations stay correct under real conditions

Reliability on a Live Financial System

• Treat correctness as a first-class requirement so commission and rebate outcomes are accurate and reproducible
• Instrument services with logging, metrics and alerting to detect and diagnose issues quickly
• Contribute to on-call readiness, incident response and post-incident improvements
• Identify and address performance, scalability and data-consistency risks before they reach production

Engineering Quality and Collaboration

• Write clean, well-tested code with meaningful unit and integration coverage
• Provide thorough, constructive code review and help raise standards across the team
• Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines for fast, safe and repeatable releases
• Document key decisions, APIs and operational runbooks so the team can move quickly

Required Experience & Skills

• 5+ years of professional backend development in Java, including senior-level ownership of production services
