Role Summary
We’re looking for a Principal Architect who is a tech enthusiast with a drive for excellence and an out-of-the-box mindset to satisfy business needs in a complex payments environment. You will be a key technical leader in our Cloud Modernization initiative while also accelerating how we use AI to improve engineering velocity, reliability, and customer outcomes by enabling safe, governed adoption of GenAI, building agentic systems, and embedding AI-assisted capabilities into our platforms and workflows.

Key Skills and Competencies

· Experience in responsible AI governance, evaluation, and data safety, including prompt‑injection mitigation, data access controls, secrets handling, policy enforcement, audit logging, offline/online evaluation, observability, red‑teaming, cost/latency monitoring, and safe handling of enterprise and PII data.
