Day to day, you will build features across specialized sub-domains like 3DS cardholder authentication, authorization, tokenization, and refunds in tight collaboration with product, design, and QA partners. We re-engineer our delivery workflows around AI assistance so code production, testing, and delivery happen faster without sacrificing system reliability. You will also author technical proposals, maintain payment gateways, and troubleshoot high-stakes production issues alongside operations.
