Founding Engineer (Payments)

Own the architecture. Then go build it.

VEEP is a Singapore vehicle-leasing and mobility group building the VEEP Orchestration Layer — a provider-agnostic platform that routes payments across providers, automates receivables and payables, and reconciles everything into one ledger.

You would be engineer #1. You own the architecture and you build it — hands-on, not management. Your first mission: take payment links and the gateway live.

What you will ship first (90 days)

• Solution architecture for the orchestration layer —signed off before build.

• Provider-agnostic connector framework and a unifiedpayment API.

• Airwallex integration live: hosted payment links andcard collections.

• PayNow collections (QR / bank rail).

• Reconciliation core: invoice → link → paid →auto-reconciled into our finance modules.

Responsibilities

• Design and build the connector framework so any new provider is added without changing the core.

• Build and operate the unified payment API (collections, payouts, links, refunds) with idempotency and failover.

• Own webhook / event ingestion and normalisation across providers.

• Build the multi-rail reconciliation engine and normalised ledger.

• Secure credential handling, audit trails, and sensible observability.

• Set the engineering bar; mentor engineer; work directly with our finance team (FM, AR, AP, CS users).

You will thrive here if you have

• 5+ years backend engineering, strong in TypeScript / Node.js or an equivalentmodern stack.

• Shippeda production payment-gateway / PSP integration (e.g. Airwallex, Stripe, Adyen,Wise) — you have moved real money.

• Ahead for event-driven / webhook systems; idempotency, and failure modes, plus strong API design.

• Worked with reconciliation, ledgers, or double-entry accounting.

• The confidence to own architecture decisions solo and defend them simply.

Bonus points to have

• Cloudflare Workers / serverless platforms.

• The Singapore payments landscape: PayNow, FAST, virtual accounts.

• Xero or accounting-platform APIs.

• Early-stage/ founding-engineer experience.

Why join us

• Own the architecture end to end — you set the technical direction from day one.

• A greenfield build with real money movement and immediate business impact.

• Shape the team and standards as the founding engineer of the platform.
