Four years of hands-on payment integration work is the entry bar for this one. A team in Gurugram's Cyber City, DLF Phase 2, is hiring a Payment Gateway Integration Engineer to build and maintain the code that moves money between the company's product and the outside payment rails it depends on. Full-time, on-site, with pay up to ₹71,000 a month.
Required skills
- Working knowledge of payment APIs and how gateways expose them for transaction initiation, status checks, and refunds
- PCI-DSS security compliance as it applies to handling and transmitting payment data
- REST APIs, both consuming third-party endpoints and building internal ones
Good to have alongside those: direct experience with a specific gateway such as Razorpay, PayU, or Stripe, comfort with webhook-based reconciliation, and exposure to writing automated tests for payment flows where a missed edge case has real financial consequences. None of these are hard requirements, but a candidate who's already debugged a stuck webhook at 2 a.m. will ramp up noticeably faster than one who hasn't.
Language and framework preferences aren't locked in stone in the listing, which usually means the team cares more about transferable backend skill than a specific stack match. Someone who's spent four years writing Java against payment gateways should adapt fine to a Node. js-based integration layer, and the reverse is generally true too.
What the day-to-day looks like
New features get built against whatever the current project requirements call for, which in payments usually means adding support for a new payment method, tightening a reconciliation step, or adjusting how failures get retried. Debugging is constant, not occasional. Payment flows fail in ways that are easy to reproduce and in ways that only show up under specific timing or load conditions, and this role is expected to chase both kinds down.
- Build and ship new features tied to active project requirements
- Debug and resolve issues across the integration layer, from failed transactions to inconsistent gateway responses
- Document the integration work clearly enough that a teammate can pick it up without a walkthrough
- Take part in code reviews, both giving and receiving feedback on payment-related code
Naukri Mitra has seen enough of these roles to know the documentation piece often gets treated as an afterthought. Here it isn't optional. A payment integration nobody documented becomes a liability the moment the original engineer is on leave, and something breaks.
A specific example
Say a merchant's checkout starts throwing intermittent timeout errors during a sale event, but only for a subset of card types. Tracing that down usually means checking whether the gateway is rate-limiting a particular BIN range, whether the retry logic is backing off correctly, and whether the timeout itself is set too aggressively for that specific transaction type. It's rarely one clean cause, and the fix often touches more than one part of the stack.
Those kinds of issues rarely announce themselves clearly in a log file. More often, the first sign is a spike in support tickets or a merchant dashboard showing a drop in successful transactions, and the engineer works backward from that symptom toward the actual cause.
Qualifications
The degree requirement here is straightforward: an undergraduate qualification in a computing-related discipline, such as software engineering or IT, though the employer cares more about what a candidate can actually build than which exact major appears on the transcript. Beyond the degree, the team wants to see actual proficiency in the programming languages, tools, and frameworks it currently uses, not just coursework that touched on them. Four years of relevant experience is the stated requirement, and most of that time should have been spent working with payment systems specifically rather than general backend development.
Interviewers for roles like this one typically spend more time on a candidate's past incidents than on textbook system design questions. Walking through a real production issue, what broke, how it got found, and what changed afterward, tends to say more about readiness for this job than a whiteboard exercise would.
Compensation and benefits
The role pays up to ₹71,000 per month. Alongside base pay, the standard benefit package for this kind of software development position includes:
- Health insurance
- Paid time off
- Provident fund contributions
- On-site cafeteria access and cab or commute support, standard for on-site roles at employers in this part of Gurugram
Cyber City in DLF Phase 2 is one of the denser tech and BPO clusters in the National Capital Region, and plenty of engineers working in payment or fintech roles are clustered in the same few buildings. That density makes it easier to find peers doing similar work if this team's stack changes down the line.
Something worth knowing before applying
Payment engineering carries a different kind of pressure than most backend work. A bug in a reporting dashboard is inconvenient. A bug in a payment flow can mean a customer gets double-charged or a merchant doesn't get paid, and both of those show up fast and loud. Engineers who do well in this kind of role tend to double-check edge cases rather than assume the happy path will hold, and they don't get rattled when a production issue needs fixing in the middle of something else.
That said, the actual day-to-day isn't constant firefighting. Most weeks look like ordinary feature work, with higher-pressure incidents landing occasionally rather than as a baseline. Someone coming from a slower-moving domain, internal tooling, say, or a product with no real-time money movement, should factor that difference in before applying, since the tolerance for a slow fix is genuinely lower here.
Applications should include specifics on which gateways or payment APIs the candidate has directly integrated, since that detail matters more here than a general list of programming languages. On-site work is expected from day one at the Cyber City, DLF Phase 2 office, so candidates should be prepared to relocate or commute within Gurugram if they aren't already local.
