• Maintain platform stability and coordinate maintenance, releases, and improvement initiatives across both systems.

• Delivery & Engineering Collaboration

• Collaborate closely with Engineering, QA, and Operations to ensure on-time delivery, quality, and smooth go-lives.
• Be technically fluent - able to unblock engineering discussions, review logic, and understand code behavior at a high level.

• Stakeholder Management

• Act as the main bridge between Finance, Operations, Product, and Engineering teams.
• Translate financial and business needs into actionable technical requirements.
• Manage expectations and communicate project status clearly across departments.

• Requirements & Documentation

• Support SQL-based data queries and analysis when necessary.

• Quality, Testing & Go-Live

• Perform end-to-end verification before production deployment to ensure readiness and alignment with all requirements.
• Maintain traceability of features and issues, ensuring full transparency of what's shipped and why.

• Continuous Improvement

• Identify process inefficiencies and drive improvements across product workflows, communication, and documentation.
• Continuously evaluate product performance metrics and user feedback to inform iteration.

Who You Are

You understand how funds flow, how fees are calculated, and how merchant settlements are executed.

• Outcome-Oriented: You focus on delivering results that make an impact - stable releases, improved workflows, and tangible business outcomes.
• Collaborative and Resilient: You thrive in a cross-functional environment, balancing demands from Finance, Product, and Engineering. You can handle high-pressure situations, absorb complexity, and guide others through ambiguity.
• Continuous Improver: You are naturally curious about how systems work, eager to refine processes, and not afraid to challenge the status quo in pursuit of better efficiency and scalability.
