## Description

* Own the delivery strategy for your team and serve as the primary facilitator between product, design, and engineering across our payments products. You will fill gaps where your team needs them, whether that's clarifying requirements, pressure-testing designs, or rolling up your sleeves and contributing directly when it matters.
 * Lead and develop your team by fostering a high-performance culture, removing obstacles, and continuously optimizing how your team works. You'll coach engineers on using AI to accelerate their output, helping them apply it thoughtfully for code generation, debugging, and testing, while holding the bar high on quality, ownership, and technical judgment.
 * Ensure accountability for support and operations across the payment systems your team owns, where accuracy and reliability are non-negotiable because real money is moving. You'll stay closely connected to customer feedback, payment issues, and our banking and card partners, use operational data to surface recurring pain points, and advocate for the time and resources needed to address them.
 * Contribute to the technical strategy and architectural decisions for your team, helping engineers make sound trade-offs between business needs, security and compliance requirements, and software development excellence. You'll drive clarity through ambiguity and ensure your team has the context they need to make confident decisions.
