Software Development Engineering, Sr Advisor

About the Role

As a senior individual contributor and technical leader, you will play a critical role in shaping the design, development, and evolution of high-quality software solutions that support partners across LATAM. You will serve as a subject matter expert responsible for designing, developing, and evolving a next-generation, cloud-native card issuing and payment processing platform built on microservices, APIs, and event-driven architecture, leveraging APIs, event-driven architectures, AWS services, and real-time authorization capabilities. Collaborating with cross-functional teams, you will provide technical leadership, drive innovation, and influence architectural direction while ensuring operational excellence across the platform.

This is a full-time, individual-contributor role at the Senior Advisor level. The position is fully onsite in Coral Springs, Florida, Monday through Friday, and includes up to 20% travel to client locations across Latin America (including Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Panama, and Argentina).

What You Will Do

Technical Leadership & Architecture

• Lead the architecture, design, development, and implementation of software applications supporting a cloud-native card issuing and payment processing platform.
• Influence technical roadmaps, solution strategies, and architectural decisions across multiple initiatives.
• Champion best practices in cloud-native development, system scalability, operational resilience, and continuous improvement.
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to engineers across teams, helping to elevate overall technical capabilities.

Engineering Standards & Quality

• Author technical specifications that development teams can build from, translating architecture into clear, actionable designs.
• Define environment promotion criteria that go beyond code quality — including performance, security, resilience, and operational readiness — and establish them as formal quality gates.
• Set standards for API test automation and quality gates (RestAssured, Karate, Postman/Newman) across teams.
• Own the platform’s REST and event-driven integration patterns — RabbitMQ, webhooks, and retry/idempotency design — at enterprise scale.
• Ensure high standards for coding, testing, debugging, performance, security, and application reliability.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement

• Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to gather business requirements and translate them into scalable technical solutions.
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor and subject matter expert for platform initiatives and client engagements.
• Communicate complex technical concepts effectively to clients, executive leadership, global teams, and CIO-level stakeholders.
