This position requires the ability to develop high-quality and resilient solutions to meet the rapidly evolving needs of an issuer processor serving an international expanding customer base and to communicate effectively at all levels, from providing the right level of details in the status updates on your work to explaining technical trade offs, technical complexities and design options so Paymentology can make informed decisions.

• Who are willing to learn, as well as coach
• Flexible hours are a must for our team. You’ll need to be able to occasionally shift your work hours to participate into on-call duties and better align with colleagues for the scope of specific projects.

What you can look forward to:

• Developing, managing and maintaining card network transactions at scale.
• Building best-of-breed backend experiences for our customers, internal and external.
