Payment infrastructure and banking APIs for Indian merchants and businesses
Cashfree Payments operates a multi-rail payment platform (UPI, NEFT, RTGS, IMPS) and banking infrastructure layer built on AWS, GCP, and Azure with Kubernetes orchestration. The hiring mix is heavily sales-driven (16 roles) relative to engineering (12), paired with active projects around merchant expansion and fraud prevention—signaling a growth-stage business scaling distribution ahead of pure product velocity. Core pain points cluster around merchant onboarding friction and transaction success optimization, not infrastructure immaturity.
