The Technical Lead – Payments is a senior-level technical leadership role accountable for the design, delivery, integration, and ongoing evolution of enterprise payment platforms and services. The role provides hands-on technical leadership for systems supporting Canadian payment rails and emerging payment capabilities, ensuring platforms are secure, resilient, scalable, and compliant with regulatory and industry standards.

The Technical Lead – Payments acts as a key technology partner to Payment Product and Payment Operations
