We're tackling hard problems across consumer experiences, fraud, and merchant integrations - building an ecosystem that is truly seamless and highly secure. We're competing with some of the most established players in the digital payments space - which means the bar is high and the opportunity to innovate is real.

Provide leadership and technical expertise in support of building a technical plan and backlog of stories, and then follow through on execution of design and build process through to production delivery. Guide a broad functional area and lead efforts through the functional team members along with the team's overall planning. Represent engineering in cross-functional team sessions and able to present sound and thoughtful arguments to persuade others.
