About the Role:

This position supports the Authorization Decisioning product within the Decision Management program. Decision Management enables faster, smarter decisioning at global scale by structuring and applying complex business logic across the payment journey and beyond. Authorization Decisioning orchestrates high-throughput, low-latency, and data-intensive processing across Decision Managements intelligent system on behalf of a suite of market-facing products.

This position is responsible for working on behalf of those market-facing products to directly and indirectly lead teams of program managers, product managers, and software engineers to deliver enhancements across the Decision Management platform. More so than most technical management roles, this position requires patient empathy to relate to and understand the needs of partners, along with organizational savvy to find creative and co-beneficial ways forward when execution requires coordination beyond the direct team.

Key Responsibilities:

- Drive adoption of engineering best practices, standards, and opinionated frameworks across teams.
- Lead delivery of complex, multi-team initiatives across real-time decisioning, rules, AI inference, data pipelines, and supporting platform services.
- Ensure systems meet strict availability, latency, scalability, security, and compliance requirements expected of global transaction platforms.
- Own operational health, including SLAs and incident management.




- Lead and develop multiple engineering managers and senior technical leaders, fostering a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous learning.
- Set clear objectives, performance expectations, and growth plans aligned to leadership and engineering frameworks.
- Act as a multiplier, scaling impact through leaders and systems rather than direct control.
- Balance short-term delivery with long-term platform sustainability and modernization.
- Model robust engineering judgment, operational rigor, and customer-centric thinking.
- Embody leadership behaviors and a culture of inclusion, ownership, and excellence.

Requirements:

- Proficient with different application patterns to implement different types of business processes, such as APIs, event-driven services, batch services, web applications, and big data platforms.
- Hands-on experience with data-intensive programming in Java, REST API, Microservices, Kafka, Axon, MQ, Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Jenkins, and Spring.
- Proven experience delivering high-scale, low-latency, highly available platforms in regulated or mission-critical environments.
- Seasoned in leading teams to deliver large and complex releases on time and within budget.
- Well-versed in SDLC practices, including Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe, with strong understanding of their applicability across different delivery situations.
- Expert in applying core engineering principles for building and running mission-critical software capabilities, including security, customer experience, testing, operability, simplification, and service-oriented architecture.

Education:

- Required: Undergraduate degree in Computer Science or a STEM-intensive degree program with related experience in software engineering.
- Preferred: Graduate degree in Computer Science or Business with related experience in fintech and payments.
