About the role

Responsibilities

  • Own the vision and roadmap for internal platform services and APIs underpinning Mastercard’s digital payments stack (e.g., SRC, tokenization, digital credentials, authentication).
  • Drive platform‑first, reusable‑by‑design capabilities aligned with Digital Payments strategy, enterprise architecture, and regulatory requirements.
  • Translate business, scheme, and regulatory needs into clear technical requirements, epics, and user stories with embedded non‑functional requirements (latency, resiliency, availability, security, observability).
  • Act as Product Owner for one or more scrum teams, leading backlog prioritization, sprint planning, grooming, reviews, and delivery execution.
  • Partner closely with engineering and architecture to decompose complex problems, manage dependencies, and ensure high‑quality, production‑ready outcomes.
  • Apply Domain‑Driven Design (DDD) principles to define clean service boundaries, API contracts, and scalable platform architectures.
  • Ensure services and APIs comply with Mastercard standards for security, tokenization, encryption, and auditability.
  • Define and track KPIs for platform performance, reliability, security posture, and service adoption; use telemetry to drive continuous optimization.
  • Represent the platform across Product, Engineering, Security, Architecture, Operations, and regional teams, clearly communicating progress, risks, and trade‑offs.

Requirements

  • 7–10+ years of experience in technical product owner roles with background in software architecture/design/development.
  • Strong hands‑on understanding of APIs, microservices, distributed systems, and cloud‑native architectures.
  • Experience or familiarity with digital payments, including wallets, EMV, SRC, tokenization, or authentication.
  • Strong exposure to Agile PDLC, including hands‑on backlog grooming, refinement, sprint planning, and release readiness as a Product Owner.
  • Proven ability to translate business, regulatory, and technical needs into clear, engineering‑ready user stories with embedded non‑functional requirements.
  • Comfortable working directly with engineers on architecture diagrams, system flows, API contracts, and service dependencies.
  • Solid understanding of security‑by‑design, compliance (e.g., PCI), and operating in regulated environments.
  • Actively leverages AI tools across the product development lifecycle to improve requirements quality, documentation, analysis, and delivery efficiency.
  • Platform‑first mindset with a focus on scalability, reuse, reliability, and long‑term platform health.
  • Strong ownership mentality with the ability to operate independently, communicate clearly, and deliver predictable outcomes.
