Senior Software Engineer- PaaS Engineering

About the role

Would you like to be part of an exciting agile team building the Next Generation Cloud Infrastructure Automation platform for Visa?

Does the idea of solving challenging technical problems and getting to the bottom of layered intricacies intrigue you? Do you have the zeal and persistence to see through our vision — from design to go-live — and make it a reality?

Join our team to build the web experiences and services that power, extend, and showcase Visa's internal Cloud platform. This includes capabilities for requesting and managing environments across VMs, containers, and bare metal; workflow automation and orchestration; graphs and visualizations for relationships and utilization; and infrastructure-as-code tooling that lets other teams consume the platform programmatically.

You'll create efficient, reusable systems with extensive test coverage, using modern technologies including Kubernetes, Terraform, and Temporal-based workflow orchestration. You'll work in a rapidly iterative environment where we prototype new user interfaces and services and ship code frequently — with real ownership of architectural, product, and technological decisions.
