Join Mastercard's Transfer Solutions team as a Lead Software Engineer, contributing to the development of innovative payment flows like Disbursements & Remittances. This is an opportunity to be part of a global, cross-functional team building the next generation of money transfer propositions, driving strategic initiatives in digital payments.

Mastercard is a global technology leader in the payments industry, dedicated to creating an inclusive digital economy. We empower individuals, financial institutions, governments, and businesses by making transactions safe, simple, smart, and accessible through cutting-edge technology and strong partnerships.

As a Lead Software Engineer, you will own complex, cross-service problems, driving their resolution through effective team collaboration. You will write and enhance code, promote rigorous code reviews and scanning to ensure high-quality releases. Define, design, and develop service-level solutions to meet evolving business requirements.

Actively participate in and contribute to agile processes, driving prioritization decisions and trade-offs with product partners. Identify opportunities for enhancement and build backlogs for primary services. You will champion automation and simplification across the software delivery lifecycle, leading by example with hands-on development and refactoring for exceptional code quality. Drive seamless integrations and foster a blameless postmortem culture to improve incident resolution and system reliability. Introduce new technologies and architecture following enterprise guidelines, advocating for engineering best practices beyond your immediate team.

We are seeking an engineer proficient in writing secure code in multiple languages such as Java, JavaScript, and SQL, with a strong understanding of secure coding standards (OWASP, CWE) and vulnerability management. Experience with infrastructure as code and cloud-native development is preferred.

Familiarity with standard branching strategies like Gitflow and peer review practices is essential, with an aim to move towards trunk-based development. You should be skilled in using tools for code quality scanning (Sonar, Zally, Checkmarx) and applying TDD/BDD principles. A solid grasp of basic and advanced design patterns, API standards, and cataloging is required. Experience with agile SDLC practices (Scrum, Kanban, DevOps, CI/CD) and the ability to estimate non-functional requirements, including security and performance, are crucial.

You will be responsible for orchestrating release workflows and pipelines, and performing debugging and troubleshooting. Conducting product demos, understanding customer journeys, and ensuring high availability (99.95%) are key aspects of this role. This position also involves conducting technical interviews to maintain high performance standards within the engineering team.
