- Support operational readiness across integrations
- Support onboarding of new PSPs, acquirers, and APM providers
- Support merchants during technical onboarding and payment setup
- Maintain documentation of integrations, onboarding flows, and partner configurations
- Support optimization of payment routing and approval performance
Background & Experience

- Experience working with MIDs, merchant onboarding, and payment integrations
- Hands-on experience supporting live payment environments
- Experience working with acquirers and gateway providers in production environments
