We are trusted by 300+ million people in 100+ countries for our industry-leading security, user fund transparency, trading engine speed, deep liquidity, and an unmatched portfolio of digital-asset products. Binance offerings range from trading and finance to education, research, payments, institutional services, and more.

About the Role:
We are looking for a hands-on engineer who enjoys writing code, solving complex backend problems, and building reliable payment systems. The ideal candidate takes ownership from development to production, is comfortable debugging real-world issues, and can turn business requirements into robust technical solutions.
Experience with PIX is a strong advantage, but we also welcome strong Java backend engineers from payments, fintech, banking, and other transaction-intensive environments who can quickly learn the Brazilian payment ecosystem.
What You'll Do:
•
Design, develop, test, and maintain scalable backend services using Java and Spring Boot to support PIX payment integrations and related payment flows in Brazil.
•
Implement and optimize payment processing capabilities, including payment initiation, transaction status management, reconciliation, and exception handling.
•
Integrate with Brazilian banks, payment service providers, and external financial systems through APIs and other integration mechanisms.
•
Build reliable, high-performance backend systems with a strong focus on transaction consistency, idempotency, fault tolerance, and system availability.
•
Troubleshoot production issues, identify root causes, and implement effective solutions to improve system stability and performance.
•
Monitor system performance, identify bottlenecks, and continuously improve the reliability, scalability, and efficiency of payment services.
•
Support payment-related security, risk control, and compliance requirements in collaboration with relevant stakeholders.
What We're Looking For:
•
Strong hands-on backend development experience with Java and PIX, preferably using Spring Boot and related frameworks.
•
Experience with PIX, Brazilian payment systems, or integrations with Brazilian banks and local payment service providers.
•
Solid understanding of RESTful APIs, microservices architecture, distributed systems, and database design.
• Experience working with relational databases and SQL; familiarity with caching, messaging systems, and asynchronous processing is a plus.
•
•
Why Binance
• Shape the future of finance
• Collaborate with world-class talent in a user-centric global organization with a flat structure
• Tackle challenging projects in a fast-paced and innovative enviornment with autonomy
• Thrive in a results-driven workplace with opportunities for career growth and continuous learning
• Competitive salary and company benefits
• Remote-first, work-from-home arrangement (may vary depending on the nature of the role and team)
Binance is committed to being an equal opportunity employer. We believe that having a diverse workforce is fundamental to our success.
