Job Description
Hiring; Payments Architect - Cards - Java - Springboot background
Circa $210k-$220k + super. Sydney - 3 days in the CBD office.
A very cool new Platform Architect role for someone whose career has been centred around payments.
You're likely working in the banking or fin-tech space, or maybe you've done that already and are now in a startup?
This role sits at the heart of a high-volume card payments platforms team, owning design decisions and governance across card schemes and real‐time rails.
What you'll bring;
Solid, hands‐on payments domain experience — end to end, from the customer‐facing side through to backend recording, operations, and manual adjustments.
Must have depth in:
Cards — Mastercard or Visa
Payments — BPay or NPP
Bonus: experience with payment rails in HK or Singapore
You'll bring solid experience across business requirements analysis, system design, and design/code review — with a sharp eye for improving system performance and a genuine problem-solving mindset.




What you'll do;
This is a design and architecture governance role — solution design, vendor architecture diagrams, keeping documentation sharp, and a LOT of communication (fair warning: ~80% meetings).
You won't be coding day to day, but you'll need to stay close enough to the tech to keep your instincts sharp and stay future-ready to move across different areas as we grow.
Who you are;
Someone with strong interpersonal skills who thrives in multi‐cultural teams, builds real strategic relationships with business partners, and is a genuine team player who gets on well with everyone.
What we're NOT looking for;
Old-school PRINCE2/PMBOK, big‐consulting mindsets. We want architects with a genuine "build over buy" instinct — people who think like engineers, not just governance overlays.
