As a Software Engineer at Venmo, I’m part of the Checkout team, responsible for ensuring a seamless and high-performance payment experience for millions of users.
My work focuses on redesigning and migrating core services from a monolithic Graph-based architecture to a modern, scalable FastAPI-based application, improving system maintainability, latency, and overall performance. I also design and develop new APIs using Django, enabling smooth integrations for new merchants and partners.
In addition to development, I actively participate in monitoring and on-call rotations, ensuring system reliability, fast incident response, and continuous service availability. My role combines performance optimization, system modernization, and operational excellence to support Venmo’s critical payment flows.
Key responsibilities & achievements:
* Led redesign and migration from monolith Graph architecture to FastAPI microservices
* Built and maintained scalable APIs using Django
* Improved checkout latency and performance for high-traffic payment flows
* Supported and integrated new merchants into the Venmo ecosystem
* Real-time monitoring and participation in on-call rotations
