Clover delivers an elegant, end-to-end Point of Sale (POS) ecosystem powering millions of merchants worldwide—from neighborhood cafes to major stadium venues. As a Manager, Software Development I, you will lead an initial team of 3 to 5 talented Java software engineers, with a clear trajectory for team expansion.

In this role, you will serve as both a people leader and technical anchor. While day-to-day coding is optional (you are welcome to stay hands‑on if you enjoy it!), you will leverage your deep Java technical background to guide system architecture, champion engineering standards, and empower your team to build scalable, high-throughput applications.

• People Leadership & Growth:
  Manage, coach, and mentor an initial team of 3–5 engineers (with room to grow), fostering a culture of technical excellence, continuous learning, and accountability.
• Technical Guidance & Architecture:
  Serve as the technical authority for your team’s Java services. Oversee system design, review architecture, and guide technical decision‑making—with the flexibility to jump into code when desired.
• Delivery & Agile Execution:
  Drive project roadmaps in an Agile environment, ensuring predictable, high‑quality feature delivery while proactively mitigating technical risks.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  
  Partner closely with Product Management, Design, QA, and Security leadership to translate business vision into clean, extensible technical specifications.
• Operational Excellence:
  Oversee code quality, testing standards, CI/CD pipeline automation, and system reliability across cloud‑hosted services.

• Education & Seniority:
  Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience, paired with 6+ years of progressive software engineering experience.
• People Management: 3+ years of experience directly leading, mentoring, and managing software engineering teams.
• Java Domain Mastery: 3+ years of strong technical experience within the Java/JVM ecosystem (Java, Kotlin), with the ability to lead architectural discussions and review complex backend code.
• Database & Data Layer: 3+ years of experience working with SQL databases and relational data modeling.
• Cloud & Infrastructure: 3+ years of hands‑on experience developing or deploying applications in public cloud environments (e.g., AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Dev Ops & Delivery: 3+ years of experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and Agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban).

• Database Expertise:
  Hands‑on experience with MySQL or similar high‑scale relational engines.
• Microservices Architecture:
  Experience architecting or operating distributed, cloud‑native microservices and RESTful APIs consumed by web frameworks (e.g., React).
• Fintech / Payments Domain:
  Experience building platforms within payments, e‑commerce, banking, or POS ecosystem integrations.
• Engineering Velocity & Tooling:
  Familiarity with modern developer tools, observability platforms, or AI‑assisted development tooling (e.g., Git Hub Copilot).

• This role is on‑site Monday through Friday. Fiserv considers in‑person collaboration to be an essential part of this role as in‑person office experiences help you with your overall onboarding experience and leads to stronger productivity.
• This role requires use of a computer and audio equipment.
