- Develop scalable, low-latency algorithms integrated into real-time payment decisioning engines.
- Design and validate experiments to quantify the financial impact of routing and interchange strategies (e.g., A/B tests, multi-armed bandits).
- Model complex cost structures (interchange, scheme fees, FX margins) to recommend optimal routing paths for each transaction.
- Build, lead, and mentor a multidisciplinary team of ~15 data scientists and data analysts.
- Foster a culture of innovation, experimentation, and continuous learning.
- Collaborate with Product and Global Network Partnership teams to align optimization strategies with commercial agreements and market coverage.
Requirements
- Deep experience in payments, fintech, or financial transaction optimization required.
- Deep understanding of global regulatory frameworks that impact transaction routing (e.g. U.S. Durbin Amendment).
- Excellent understanding of global interchange systems, scheme fee structures, and cross-border routing economics.
- Strong applied knowledge of ML/AI, optimization, and decision science techniques.
- Proficiency in Python, SQL, and Spark.
- Advanced degree (PhD or Master’s) in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or related field.
