What are some typical challenges a backend software engineer faces when integrating new services into an existing system?

Backend Software Engineers often encounter challenges such as ensuring compatibility between new services and legacy systems, maintaining data integrity during migrations, and managing increased system complexity. Effective integration also requires thorough testing to prevent disruptions to existing functionalities and close collaboration with frontend engineers, DevOps, and QA teams. Proactively communicating across teams and adhering to clear documentation standards can help mitigate integration risks and ensure a smoother deployment process.

What is the difference between Backend Software Engineer vs Frontend Software Engineer?

AspectBackend Software EngineerFrontend Software Engineer
Primary FocusServer-side development, databases, APIsClient-side development, UI/UX, visual elements
Required SkillsProgramming languages like Java, Python, SQL; server managementHTML, CSS, JavaScript, frameworks like React or Angular
Work EnvironmentBackend teams, server infrastructure, cloud servicesDesign teams, user interface, web browsers
Common UsageBuilding and maintaining server logic and databasesCreating interactive and visually appealing web pages

While both roles involve web development, Backend Software Engineers focus on server-side logic and data management, whereas Frontend Software Engineers specialize in creating the visual and interactive aspects of websites. Both roles are essential in full-stack development and often collaborate closely.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a backend software engineer?

To thrive as a Backend Software Engineer, you need strong programming skills in languages like Java, Python, or Node.js, a solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and experience with database management, usually supported by a degree in computer science or related fields. Familiarity with tools such as Git, RESTful APIs, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), and frameworks like Spring or Django is highly valued, and relevant certifications can be advantageous. Problem-solving ability, attention to detail, and effective teamwork are standout soft skills for this position. These skills and qualities are essential to build, maintain, and optimize robust, scalable server-side applications that meet user and business needs.

Job description

Role: Senior Software Engineer - Back End
Hybrid Role, MUST BE BASED IN SAN DIEGO, CA
About Tillster
Tillster, headquartered in the USA, is the global leader in digital ordering and customer engagement solutions. For over a decade we have developed revolutionary self-service, ordering and payments solutions - for mobile, tablet, online, kiosk, call center, and more - creating personalized interactions based on consumer preferences, language, and currency. Our platform is compatible with 15+ unique POS systems, representing over 90% coverage in multi-unit restaurants. We offer one platform; one scalable, enterprise class solution - to create world-class digital engagement solutions.
Our mission and passion are one in the same: Empower restaurants and consumers to engage and transact anywhere, anytime, and from any device - one consumer at a time, one order at a time, billions of times over. In doing so, together we are transforming e-commerce in restaurants and make the till grow for Tillster and our customers.
About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Engineer (bordering on Architect) to own and evolve the payment-terminal platform behind our kiosks: a layer of 40+ integrations spanning card-present terminals, semi-integrated and cloud processors, and cash automation. You will re-architect this into a modular, pluggable SDK so internal teams and external/third-party developers can build new integrations against a stable, versioned contract without forking the core, and you will stay hands-on, implementing new integrations down to the wire-level protocol.
What You'll Do (architecture and ownership)
  • Own the payments domain end to end on the kiosk platform: authorize, capture, void, refund, reversal, settlement (EOD), and reconciliation.
  • Re-architect the platform into a pluggable payment SDK: design the plugin contract and lifecycle (discovery/registration, versioning and backward compatibility, capability negotiation, dependency isolation, per-integration configuration and secrets) on top of the existing PayTerminal SPI.
  • Design a terminal abstraction that cleanly spans integrated vs. semi-integrated vs. cloud/REST processors and cash devices, so callers code to one model regardless of transport or vendor.
  • Build the integration test and certification harness (extending the current mock-terminal approach) so a new or external integration can be validated, simulated, and regression-tested before it touches real hardware.
  • Set platform-wide patterns for correctness in money movement: idempotency, transaction recovery and reversal, timeouts, heartbeat/health, concurrency, and reconciliation, in a system where double-charges and dropped captures are unacceptable.
  • Design for PCI-DSS scope minimization: tokenization, P2PE, per-processor TLS/mTLS and certificate/key handling, so cardholder data stays out of in-scope services. Partner with security/QSA on audits.
  • Drive architecture and design reviews, set technical direction for the integration layer, and mentor engineers building integrations.

What You'll Do (hands-on, low to high level)
  • Implement new terminal integrations end to end, from byte-level protocol (framing, TLV/BMP/APDU, BCD/LLVAR, checksums, ACK/NAK state machines) up to the high-level PayTerminal API.
  • Work directly with serial (RS-232 / USB-serial via jssc) and USB (usb4java) transports: port handling, event-driven reads, reconnection, and timing.
  • Integrate high-level and cloud processor APIs (REST/SOAP, webhooks, semi-integrated terminal SDKs) with robust retry, polling, and reconciliation.
  • Debug live hardware: protocol traces, terminal logs, packet captures, and vendor certification cycles.

About You (required)
  • 6+ years back-end engineering with strong Java (the platform is multi-module Maven/Java on Spring) and solid OOP and distributed-systems design.
  • Demonstrated experience designing extensible / plugin / SPI-based architectures (ServiceLoader, OSGi, Spring plugin models, or public SDKs consumed by other teams or third parties).
  • Hands-on low-level device and protocol experience: serial and/or USB communication and binary protocol implementation (TLV, BCD, bitmaps, length-prefixed fields, state machines). EMV, ISO 8583, ZVT, or OPI a strong plus.
  • Direct payment-terminal / POS integration experience (Verifone, Ingenico, Adyen, Shift4, FreedomPay, SIX, Nepting, SiTef, Redsys, Worldpay, or comparable), and a clear understanding of integrated vs. semi-integrated models.
  • Solid grasp of the card transaction lifecycle (auth, capture, void, refund, settlement, reversal) and PCI-DSS boundaries, tokenization, and TLS/mTLS in production.
  • Track record of technical leadership: leading designs, setting standards, and mentoring engineers.

Nice-to-haves
  • Cash automation and recyclers (Vynamic Cash or similar), end-of-day and reconciliation tooling.
  • Regional acquiring experience (LatAm, EU, Middle East) and multi-currency payments.
  • Loyalty, stored-value, gift, or wallet (Apple Pay / Google Pay) integration.
  • Vendor certification experience with acquirers and processors; 3-D Secure / SCA, fraud/risk tooling.

Thriving at Tillster
As a member of Tillster, you will embody our core values:
• Put Customers First:Prioritize the needs and satisfaction of our customers in all decisions and actions appropriate to Tillster's stage of development, resources, and stated goals.
• Collaborate: Work together effectively, leveraging diverse perspectives to achieve common goals.
• Innovate: Embrace creativity and pursue new ideas to drive progress and improvement.
• Operate from Data: Use strong critical thinking skills to make informed decisions based on accurate and relevant data.
• Drive Results: Focus on achieving tangible outcomes and delivering high performance.
• Own It: Take responsibility for your actions and the success of your work.
• Be Passionate and Have Fun: Bring enthusiasm to your work and enjoy the journey.
The Interview Process
  1. Recruiter interview with a Talent Acquisition Specialist
  2. Interview with Hiring Manager
  3. Technical Assessment
  4. Interview with our Kiosk-Payment Team
  5. Final Interview-Head of Kiosk
