Hyperswitch Hiring Challenge
Hyperswitch, powered by Juspay, is building the next-gen payments platform for the world and we are looking for talented engineers who can join our crew. Juspay solved for Indian payments sector for the last 10 years, building frameworks, platforms, products and infrastructure which powers 100 Mn transactions per day, with an annualized TPV of $500Bn.
With Hyperswitch, we are now on a mission to build a systems software for the global payments ecosystem. Why?
Because we believe in a world where transactions don’t come with a side of headaches. Built with the resilience and efficiency of Rust, Hyperswitch is the platform aiming to do for payments, what Linux did for operating systems: open it up, shake it out, and make it better for everyone. We are a team of 1200+ members, from across the globe, who are working towards this open source movement.

Let's now move on to the long story (which we recommend you should read):
The global payment ecosystem today is dominated by closed systems, facing increasing diversity and becoming expensive for businesses. These problems can only be solved by open systems. The payments ecosystem needs a trusted unifier / orchestrator and that is what Hyperswitch is all about. You can learn more about Hyperswitch here.
Since we are shaking up global payments, why not shake up the traditional hiring process? That's why we are opening up our hiring process via Github.
We are Not Just Hiring - We are Inviting You to Innovate & Build Open Source Software for the World.
- Passionate Engineers: You get a thrill out of tackling complex and hard engineering problems and building elegant solutions.
- The Coding Newbie or Seasoned Pro: We welcome engineers of all experience levels! While Rust and React are the technologies we use, your passion for learning and problem-solving is what truly matters. We'll provide the support and resources you need to excel.
- The Open-Source Advocate: Contributing to the open-source community is your jam. You believe in collaboration and building things together that benefit everyone.
- The Lifelong Learner: You're never satisfied with the status quo. You're always hungry for new challenges and eager to learn the latest languages and frameworks (like the ever-popular Rust!).
