TRANSFORM THE FOUNDATION OF XENTRAL’S SAAS PLATFORM!

At Xentral, we’re on a mission to power growing businesses with smart, scalable software. As a Senior Software Engineer on our Platform team, you’ll help shape the critical services that drive product-wide capabilities such as authentication, communication, payments, and security. You’ll be hands-on with complex challenges—from tackling technical debt in a legacy monolith to scaling performant microservices that serve thousands of users daily.
You’ll be part of the first team at Xentral to start the transition to microservices and take ownership of multiple critical systems. If you’re excited about building stable foundations, optimizing performance, and improving product quality with a customer-focused mindset, we’d love to hear from you.
