Job Description
Job Summary:
The Software Engineer will join a Platform Engineering team for Visa’s Resolve Online Application. This individual would be responsible for building, modernizing, and supporting applications that integrate across a complex ecosystem of 20+ systems. This role is ideal for a developer who enjoys solving problems across applications, automation, data, and system integrations.
The engineer will contribute to the development and modernization of automation frameworks, integration and regression capabilities, and internal tools that improve how applications and data are tested and delivered. While automation and testing are important components of the role, this is a software engineering position with opportunities to take on increased application and full-stack development ownership over time.
The role requires someone who can quickly learn new technologies, work through ambiguity, and collaborate across engineering, product, data, and geographically distributed teams.
All roles require digital fluency, including the ability to work with emerging technologies such as Generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot) to support everyday work.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, test, debug, and enhance software applications, automation frameworks, and supporting tools.
- Develop scalable automation capabilities for integration and regression testing across applications and interconnected systems.
- Contribute to application modernization, migration, and reengineering efforts, including evaluating and adopting new technologies as the platform evolves.
- Build and enhance tools that improve data processing, synthetic test data generation, and self-service provisioning.
- Write clean, maintainable code, with Java preferred, while applying strong software engineering principles regardless of programming language.
- Work with SQL and data-driven applications to support testing, troubleshooting, analysis, and development efforts.
- Partner closely with engineering, product, data platform, and business teams to understand requirements and translate them into technical solutions.
- Support early-stage client and product readiness activities, including integration, user acceptance, and member testing.
- Troubleshoot complex issues that span multiple applications, integrations, and teams.
- Collaborate with globally distributed teams and coordinate technical requests across regions.
- Create and maintain technical documentation for applications, frameworks, tools, and engineering processes.

- Working knowledge of SQL and comfort working with data.
- Ability to quickly learn unfamiliar technologies, applications, and business domains.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills with the confidence to proactively engage partners across teams.
- Ability to work effectively in a complex environment involving multiple systems, dependencies, and stakeholders.
