Job type: Full Time · Department: Software Development · Work type: Remote

Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Multiplier enables companies to employ anyone, anywhere in a few clicks. Our SaaS platform combines the multi-local complexities of hiring & paying employees anywhere in the world, and automates everything. We are passionate about creating a world where people can get a job they love, without having to leave the people they love.

At Multiplier, we’re building the future of global employment. Our Global Payroll team is at the heart of this mission, designing systems that help businesses run compliant, accurate, and efficient payroll across multiple countries. We are looking for smart and talented people who will add on to our collective energy and share the same excitement in making Multiplier a big deal.

As a Lead Software Engineer, you will own the design and scalability of Multiplier’s global payroll platform, delivering seamless payroll experiences for employees around the world. You will architect and implement critical features that manage complex calculations, compliance logic, and integrations with global systems.

This is a high-impact role that works closely with product, compliance, and operations teams to solve some of the most challenging engineering problems in global payroll. If you are passionate about building scalable systems, simplifying complexity, and driving technical excellence through code and collaboration, we would love to have you help shape the future of global payroll at Multiplier.

What will I be doing?

  • Leading parts of the product development from inception to launch, and own large parts of the product and its features.

  • Working closely with our product and design teams to build products with the goal of delighting and increasing the success of our customers, in a very iterative fashion.

  • Architecting, building, testing, and releasing features with the highest quality.

  • Automating everything that an engineer should not work on.

What do I need?

  • 7 to 10 years of industry experience in a software engineering role with 1 to 2 years’ experience leading a team. Someone from a SaaS product background is preferred. You can demonstrate significant impact that your work has had on the product and/or the team.

  • Deep knowledge of a high-level programming language (Such as Java, JavaScript, Go, Python, etc.) but it doesn’t need to be a language that we use here! Great people are effective and learn what we use quickly (or introduce us to better ways of working)

  • Good understanding of web fundamentals (JavaScript/HTML/CSS) and exposure to one or more Front End stacks (such as React, VueJS, Svelte, Angular etc)

  • Experience in working with cloud infrastructure on AWS, Google Cloud and the likes. Good to have: experience in scalable distributed systems.

  • Willingness to quickly learn and use new technologies.

  • Extremely data-driven.

  • Work with and solve problems of very complex nature and enjoy doing it
