Depending on your level of experience, your responsibilities and scope of role will range. We don’t care much about fancy titles, but rather about real personal and professional development, as laid out in our learning framework. Let’s figure together out how you can contribute to our team.

• 3+ years of experience in product area specifically within Card Issuing, managing complex roadmaps.

• Deep technical command of the Visa and Mastercard ecosystems, with hands-on experience managing direct integrations with major processors.

• Comprehensive expertise in the full card lifecycle, from onboarding and core ledger entity opening to the logistics of physical card personalization and the instant provisioning of tokenized virtual cards (Apple/Google Pay).

• A "builder" mindset with the ability to take a high-level payment concept and drive it through to technical execution, ensuring the product is both scalable and compliant within a highly regulated environment.

• Advanced knowledge of the European regulatory landscape, including PSD2/PSD3 (SCA, RTS), PCI-DSS, and the specific risk-management requirements of the German Banking Act (KWG).

• Skilled at navigating the complex hierarchy of a German financial institution, balancing the requirements of Compliance, Risk, and Legal stakeholders with the commercial goals of the business.

• A commitment to creating "bank-grade" documentation; you recognize that clear technical specifications and process flows are the backbone of audit-readiness and efficient knowledge transfer.

• Exceptional communicator in English (German a plus), capable of distilling the "alphabet soup" of payment tech (SCA, 3DS, CVV, VTS) into clear, value-driven narratives for executive stakeholders.
