This role is pivotal in expanding GoCardless's reach through collaborations with payment service providers, software platforms, and ecosystems. The position is based in Leeds, UK, within a company renowned for its global leadership in bank payments.
In this role, you will lead technical discovery sessions with prospective and existing partners, translating their requirements into clear solution designs using GoCardless's partner APIs, such as Embed and Connect. You will build and deliver demonstrations and proofs of concept to showcase how bank payments can be seamlessly integrated into partner products.

Hands-on experience with APIs, including proficiency in tools like Postman and the ability to debug requests, is essential. A solid understanding of OAuth, webhooks, and common integration patterns is required, along with programming skills in at least one common language. A strong grasp of how APIs and MCP servers function is also necessary. Experience building integrations with payment service providers or platforms, knowledge of payment methods such as Direct Debit and open banking, and familiarity with platforms or multi-tenant models are advantageous. The role also values candidates who are problem solvers, quick learners, consultative, and passionate about helping partners grow and innovate.
