The opportunity

Every day, our cloud-native acquiring platform processes billions of card transactions — authorization, clearing, and settlement — for customers who trust us to get it right, every time. We're building an internal Engineering Platform that lets our product teams move fast without reinventing infrastructure each time. You'll join the Platform Engineering team to design self-service tooling that developers actually want to use: fewer tickets, fewer handoffs, less time fighting security and compliance, more time shipping. If you like building the systems other engineers build on top of, read on.

Day-to-day Responsibilities

You'll help build and run the platform that lets developers independently create, test, launch, and monitor our real-time authorization services. Concretely, that means designing and delivering an internal platform that:

Gives development teams seamless, self-service access to the tools they needCuts non-development overhead and cross-team delaysReduces the cognitive load of security, governance, and complianceEnables fast, independent software deliveryTies success to clear, observable business outcomes

You'll work in a focused, domain-driven team and take part in an on-call rotation. Your work directly enables internal teams to innovate and operate at scale.
