Information Systems Engineer 2

About the Team/Role

OTR Certification & Technical Testing Lifecycle

• Coordinate and guide the 90-to 180-day certification lifecycle for assigned merchant and POS vendor portfolios, guiding stakeholders from Initiation and Scope Discovery through Lab/Beta Testing to final Production Release.

• Create, tailor, and maintain technical test scripts weekly based on specific customer hardware and software profiles (Full Certification vs. Regression Testing), actively troubleshooting authorization or script execution errors daily.

Lab Configuration, Connectivity & AI Optimization (Weekly):

• Configure test environments daily using the eManager Portal to set up test cards, prompts, and velocity limits for assigned regional accounts.

• Collaborate weekly with client engineering teams to establish secure network connectivity (SSL, VPN, Direct Connect) while proactively adopting AI-assisted diagnostic tools and process automation scripts to optimize manual testing workflows.

Data Validation & Quality Assurance (Daily & Project-Based):

• Execute intermediate to advanced SQL queries on backend tables daily to audit test results, verify transaction outputs, and ensure data integrity against live system logs and Script Workbooks.

• Champion successful launches by issuing formal Certification Letters and providing hands-on operational support during the critical 30-day post-launch stabilization window daily.

Technical Specification Adherence & Operations Support:

• Serve as a primary technical resource expert for assigned regions, ensuring strict adherence to technical interface specifications, including ISO 8583 Card Payment Authorization and Proprietary Sales Transaction files.

• Resolve production authorization anomalies, POS terminal equipment issues, and transaction data file questions during outage reconciliations weekly.

• Proactively identify and embrace opportunities to integrate AI and automation technologies into operational processes. This includes initiatives to drive scale, reduce reliance on manual processes, and mitigate operational risks.

• Stakeholder Communication & Project Management:

• Lead weekly kickoff meetings, technical alignment sessions, and project updates as the primary technical point of contact with external merchants and internal teams (Merchant Development, NetOps, Product Support).
