Payment gateway and settlement platform for e-commerce in Mexico and LATAM
Openpay operates a payments infrastructure serving e-commerce merchants across Mexico and Latin America. The tech stack is heavily Java/Spring-centric with PostgreSQL and Oracle backends, complemented by AWS Lambda and modern containerization—indicating a platform built for transaction throughput and regulatory compliance. Active work on microservices migration, cloud-native design, and serverless architectures reveals engineering effort to move from monolithic constraints toward scalability, while simultaneous focus on chargeback management, fraud prevention, and PCI-DSS compliance shows the operational friction of operating in a regulated payments environment.
Notable leadership hires: Support Lead
Openpay provides payment processing and settlement solutions for e-commerce businesses, large brands, and small and medium enterprises across Mexico and LATAM. The platform handles electronic payments, convenience-store payment methods, and traditional online checkout flows. Founded in 2014 and based in Mexico City, the company operates a transaction-intensive infrastructure with documented pain points around fraud prevention, data quality governance, and platform uptime during traffic spikes. Current engineering roadmap centers on decomposing a legacy monolith into microservices and adopting serverless patterns to improve scalability and operational resilience.
Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, MongoDB, Redis, and DynamoDB for backend systems; Docker and AWS (Lambda, RDS) for infrastructure; Angular and JavaScript for frontend.
Microservices migration from monolithic architecture, cloud-native platform design, serverless infrastructure, chargeback management systems, data governance implementation, and fraud prevention controls.
