You will be responsible for the stability, performance and ongoing development of the BASE24-eps environment, while leading the team responsible for day-to-day production support.

• Support ATM, POS, e-commerce, payment gateway and EFT transaction processing

• Configure and support authorisation, routing, switching, settlement and reconciliation

• Develop and maintain BASE24-eps payment workflows, scripts, interfaces and APIs

• Support integrations with Visa, Mastercard, domestic payment networks and core/host banking systems

• Manage production incidents and problems, including root cause analysis (RCA)

• Support 24x7 production operations, including critical incidents and escalations

• Manage and support releases, deployments, upgrades and migrations

• Experience across ATM and POS acquiring, card payments and EFT

• Strong understanding of authorisation, routing, settlement and reconciliation

• Experience supporting high-volume, business-critical payment platforms

• Strong understanding of the end-to-end card transaction lifecycle

• Experience with Incident, Problem and Change Management

• Understanding of production support measures including SLAs, response and resolution times

• Experience with high availability, disaster recovery, performance and capacity management

• Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work directly with technical teams, business stakeholders and clients

The person we're looking for

This isn't a pure management position. We need someone who can lead the BASE24-eps support team while still getting hands-on technically when required.

You will understand what it takes to operate a high-volume payments platform in a banking production environment and be equally comfortable dealing with a critical production incident, investigating a transaction failure, reviewing a technical change or leading the team through a release.

If you have deep BASE24-eps experience and have led the production support of business-critical payment platforms, we'd like to hear from you.
