Job Description Every time someone taps, swipes, or clicks to pay
- Visa infrastructure makes it happen in milliseconds, across 200+ countries. As a Software Development Engineer on the Product Reliability Engineering (PRE) team, you won’t just watch those systems run- you’ll be one of the engineers building, automating, and evolving them.

PRE is not a traditional ops team. We are a software engineering organization that treats infrastructure as code, reliability as a product, and automation as a strategic advantage. You’ll write Python, build agentic AI tools, manage data platforms, and contribute to the distributed systems that process billions of real-time transactions. From day one, you are an engineer- and from day one, your work matters.

If you are endlessly curious about how large-scale systems stay resilient, obsess over elegant automation, and want to launch your career at the intersection of AI, infrastructure, and global financial technology — this role was built for you.

Build Automation That Scales Design, develop, and deploy end-to-end automation for deployment pipelines, infrastructure provisioning, platform operations, and release orchestration across complex production environments. Write clean, production-grade Python (and Go or Bash where it counts) to eliminate toil, reduce operational risk, and improve the reliability and scalability of critical engineering workflows. Design and implement reusable frameworks for release scheduling, validation, rollback, reporting, and configuration management that support the software delivery lifecycle.

Drive automation initiatives that improve engineering efficiency, standardization, and operational excellence across teams.

Manage & Evolve Data Platforms Design, build, operate, and continuously improve relational database platforms supporting critical payment systems and high-volume transaction processing. Contribute to architecture decisions, platform enhancements, and engineering solutions that improve scalability, resiliency, and performance. Lead database health and lifecycle operations including upgrades, patching, backup and recovery strategies, and platform modernization efforts. Analyze and optimize database performance through index tuning, execution plan analysis, replication monitoring, and capacity management.

Develop automation for database operations, configuration management, and schema deployments using tools such as Ansible, Liquibase, and CI/CD pipelines. Build proactive monitoring, observability, and reporting solutions that identify reliability risks before they impact production services.

Ship Agentic AI & ML-Powered Tools Design and build GenAI-powered engineering solutions that automate deployment orchestration, operational workflows, release governance, and platform management. Integrate LLM-driven capabilities into observability, incident response, troubleshooting, and developer productivity workflows to improve operational effectiveness. Evaluate and implement emerging AI, automation, and machine learning technologies that improve reliability, efficiency, and engineering velocity. Contribute to agentic automation strategies that help evolve…
