Job Description

Insight Global is looking for a Sr. Software Engineering Manager to join one of the world's largest online payments companies based in San Jose, CA. This company has been revolutionizing commerce globally for more than 25 years. Creating innovative experiences that make moving money, selling, and shopping simple, personalized, and secure, the company empowers consumers and businesses in approximately 200 markets to join and thrive in the global economy.

They operate a global, two-sided network at scale that connects hundreds of millions of merchants and consumers. They help merchants and consumers connect, transact, and complete payments, whether they are online or in person. This company is more than a connection to third-party payment networks. They provide proprietary payment solutions accepted by merchants that enable the completion of payments on their platform on behalf of their customers.

They offer their customers the flexibility to use their accounts to purchase and receive payments for goods and services, as well as the ability to transfer and withdraw funds. They enable consumers to exchange funds more safely with merchants using a variety of funding sources, which may include a bank account, company branded credit products, a credit card, a debit card, certain cryptocurrencies, or other stored value products such as gift cards, and eligible credit card rewards. Their products also make it safer and simpler for friends and family to transfer funds to each other. They offer merchants an end-to-end payments solution that provides authorization and settlement capabilities, as well as instant access to funds and payouts. They also help merchants connect with their customers, process exchanges and returns, and manage risk. They enable consumers to engage in cross-border shopping and merchants to extend their global reach while reducing the complexity and friction involved in enabling cross-border trade.

Their beliefs are the foundation for how we conduct business every day. They live each day guided by their core values of Inclusion, Innovation, Collaboration, and Wellness. Together, their values ensure that they work together as one global team with their customers at the center of everything they do – and they push them to ensure they take care of ourselves, each other, and their communities.

This job manages multiple projects, sets operational targets, ensures project delivery, resolves complex technical situations, creates roadmaps, applies analytical thought, and collaborates with stakeholders.
