Our platform orchestrates high throughput, low latency, and data-intensive processing across Decision Management’s intelligent systems on behalf of a suite of market-facing products. This position is responsible for working on behalf of those market-facing products to directly and indirectly lead teams of program managers, product managers, and software engineers to deliver enhancements across the Decision Management platform. More so than most technical management roles, this position requires a patient empathy to relate to and understand the needs of our partners and an organizational savvy to find creative and co-beneficial ways forward when the ability to execute requires coordination beyond your direct team. The Manager, Software Engineering role is a model for the Mastercard Way of creating value, moving fast, and growing together.
