About The Position

ITTConnect is seeking a Fiserv Configuration Specialist with payments expertise for a direct-hire, full-time position with a client in Miami. This hands-on configuration role is responsible for the money-movement layer of a bank in Fiserv Finxact, including Fedwire, SWIFT, ACH, RTP and FedNow, as well as associated screening, limits, returns and posting logic. The specialist configures payment rails for correct parameterization and straight-through processing where possible, daily reconciliation, and alignment with U.S. compliance requirements, and carries the domain through network certification into production.

This role has particularly high compliance exposure: configuration errors can create regulatory and financial risk, and rail certification is on the critical path to launch. The specialist works closely with Compliance, Payment Operations and the integration team, and owns controls evidence supporting audits and examiner reviews.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience.
• Must have experience with a Fiserv platform, preferably Finxact.
• 5+ years in payments within banking, including hands-on configuration within the Fiserv ecosystem, such as Finxact, Enterprise Payments Platform (formerly Dovetail), PEP+ / ACHNext, NOW Gateway, or payment modules on DNA, Signature, Premier or Precision.
• Deep, current knowledge of U.S. payment rails—Fedwire, ACH/Nacha, RTP and FedNow—including settlement, finality, cut-offs, and returns and exception handling.
• Practical OFAC and sanctions-screening design experience, including screening placement in payment flows, hold-release logic and false-positive management without disrupting straight-through processing.
• Experience configuring straight-through processing, settlement posting and daily payment reconciliation.
• Working knowledge of ISO 20022 message structures and REST/JSON API-based platforms.
• Experience in a regulated, audit-driven environment with formal change management and segregation of duties.

Nice To Haves

• Hands-on Finxact experience, Finxact Academy badges or Fiserv product certification.
• Experience with the Fiserv payments ecosystem, including Enterprise Payments Platform (formerly Dovetail), PEP+ / ACHNext, or NOW Gateway (RTP and FedNow).
• Exposure to AML transaction-monitoring and sanctions-screening integrations.
• SWIFT / correspondent banking and nostro reconciliation background.

Responsibilities

• Configure payment products and rails in Finxact, including Fedwire, SWIFT, ACH/Nacha (including Same Day ACH), RTP and FedNow, with message mapping and ISO 20022 alignment.
• Parameterize OFAC and sanctions screening placement, hold-release behavior, false-positive handling, and handoff to AML transaction monitoring.
• Configure transaction and daily limits, cut-off windows, calendars, dual authorization, and exception and return handling, including R-codes, recalls and investigations.
• Design and configure straight-through-processing flows, settlement posting, nostro and suspense account behavior, and daily reconciliation rules.
• Work with Integration Engineers on connectivity to networks, processors, AML and digital channels via MuleSoft and AWS API Gateway, defining contracts, error handling and idempotency expectations.
• Support UAT, network and rail certification testing, and go-live cutover, providing traceable evidence for regulators.
• Define payment operations runbooks, exception queues and the day-one support model with Application Support.
• Maintain configuration documentation and controls evidence for internal audit, external audit and examiners.
