Solution Architect

Worldline NZ (formerly known as Paymark) is New Zealand’s leading electronic payments company, and Kiwis rely on us to ensure that electronic purchasing is available wherever purchases for goods and services need to be made. In our history to date, we have put through 28 billion transactions, worth an estimated $1 trillion, and worked with over 84,000 merchants.

Our team is on a journey to build a digital platform around continuous integration, continuous deployment and cloud-based systems built in microservice architecture. You will work on important projects responsible for digitising payments — so that Kiwis can transact easily from a range of devices, no matter the location, enabling NZ to move towards a cashless society.

You will be responsible for architecting and governing the digital solutions that underpin our product strategy, encompassing product experience, operational considerations, data management, data-driven decisions, enrichment of our products, services and business support systems, and enabling the technology to deliver on new products and business models.

Worldline NZ is a compact organisation of around 200 professionals. As such, roles are quite broad and require generalist skill sets along with the specialisation needed to work on the leading edge of payments technologies.

Here’s what you’ll be spending most of your time on:

• Architecting, designing and developing the digital products for Worldline NZ — producing technical specifications and hands-on guidance under an agile delivery model.
• Implementing software to be deployed into prototypes and experimental products, and providing technical oversight on new concepts.
• Collaborating with our Technology & Product Development leaders and squads to improve our products, processes and ways of working — instilling a sense of urgency into what we do.
• Contributing actively to product roadmaps, operational capability, processes and ways of working, partnering closely with Technology & Product Development leaders.
• Partnering with Product and Sales colleagues to provide technical subject matter expertise in customer engagements.
• Working closely within the squads day to day to deliver future product feature sets.
• Working as part of the wider Architecture group to champion overall enterprise governance activities and the strategic technology roadmap.
