  • Coordinate with our BIN sponsor and card networks on configuration requirements where their systems intersect with the processor
  • Partner with Product and Engineering to scope and implement processor-side requirements for new features and program launches
  • QA configuration changes before they reach cardholders - catching errors before they become customer or compliance issues

  • Monitor processor performance and flag issues to relevant internal teams with enough context to act
  • Be the internal go-to for processor questions across Product, Engineering, Compliance, and leadership

Requirements

  • Analytical rigor and comfort working with data to diagnose issues, validate changes, and support investigations. SQL strongly preferred
  • Clear written and verbal communication - you can explain a complex platform behavior to an engineer, a compliance officer, or a partner bank
