What you'll do

  • Work alongside the Product Owners during an initial immersion period until you become the expert on your assigned products
  • Stay current on system and implementation changes, following a defined update plan
  • Join additional training sessions when required
  • Attend deployment syncs, demos and pilots, and help the team understand new credit union implementations
  • Support the Configurations team during implementations, answer their questions, and train them on system features and changes
  • Follow up on pilots from the product side and lead feature stabilization during pilots
  • Take part in handoffs to Training, Implementation, Sales and Marketing
  • Triage reported bugs, confirm whether each one is a real bug, and give immediate support to Support and Implementations
  • Provide second-level support to the Support team, resolving questions beyond level 0/1
  • Guide Support leads (Swipe, Core and Digital) through new feature rollouts until they own the stabilization of each feature
  • Teach so that Support gains autonomy rather than becoming dependent
  • Review every improvement request and decide whether it is an enhancement, how it could be addressed and how much effort it would take
  • Escalate requests to the Product Owner for roadmap evaluation when they need prioritization within the cell

What we're looking for

  • Professional degree (undergraduate university degree) in Systems Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Business Administration, Finance, Economics, or related fields
  • 3+ years of professional experience in the financial sector or fintech (banks, savings and credit cooperatives, employee funds, card processors, or core banking providers)
  • 2+ years configuring, implementing or supporting financial products (savings, loans, cards or digital channels)
  • 1+ year in production support, incident analysis or bug triage
  • Functional knowledge of core banking, card processing or digital banking
  • Strong analytical skills to diagnose incidents and tell a bug from a configuration issue or an enhancement
  • Ability to estimate the scope and effort of improvement requests
  • Ability to train other teams and build their autonomy
  • Clear communication with Product, Support, Implementation and Configurations, as well as with executives
  • High sense of ownership and urgency when resolving operational issues
  • Comfortable working across multiple products in a fast-paced environment
  • Continuous learning mindset to keep up with system changes
  • English level B2 (CEFR) or higher, to work daily with U.S. credit unions
