The Visa Corporate IT group has embarked on a major transformation journey. We will not follow the 'traditional' IT playbook of simply purchasing off the shelf solutions and stitching them together. We are transforming ourselves into a true engineering organization where we put customer experience first, create highly leveraged (and loved) platforms with a heavy emphasis on operational excellence such as ensuring our platforms and services are unbreakable. Where we choose to continue with packaged software we will invent our way around their limitations such as poor UI or scale.
 
The Revenue and Pricing Systems (RPS) team owns the technology that prices, bills and collects revenue from Visa's clients on a global basis. While we leverage packaged products such as Oracle ORMB we are looking for a builder (software engineering skill set) and an inventor, not just an integrator. The team is working on a major re-platforming effort aimed at increasing scale, enabling self-service and increasing the velocity of innovation.
 
 As a Senior Director, reporting to the VP, Revenue and Pricing Systems, this position will oversee engineering development for the Incentives RPS platform.  You will work with various executives across the enterprise to coordinate RPS solutions to meet challenges of technology, regulatory, security, and competitive conditions.

• Lead the requirements, design, development, implementation, operations and support for your platform
• Ensure "operational excellence" capabilities (usability, availability, resilience, security, etc.) are built into the platform from the start
• Ensure platform meets security compliance criteria at all times
• Ensure DevOps team follows best practice design patterns, coding standards, test automation, build/deployment, etc.
