As a thought leader in your field, you will bring technical expertise, a passion for automation, and the ability to mentor. We support daily operations with a hyper focus on triage, root cause by understanding the business impact of our products and subsequently performing blameless post-mortems. The goal of every Business Operations team is to engage early in the development lifecycle to be more proactive and upfront in the development process, and to proactively manage production and change activities to maximize customer experience and increase the overall value of supported applications. Business Operations teams also focus on risk management by tying all our activities together with an overarching responsibility for compliance and risk mitigation across all our environments. Ultimately, the role of Business Operations is to align Product and Customer Focused priorities with Operational needs by providing continuous feedback throughout the lifecycle.

Practice sustainable incident response and blameless post-mortems while taking a
holistic approach to problem solving and optimizing time to recover.
o Automate data-driven alerts to proactively escalate issues. Work with development
teams to establish SLOs and improve reliability.
• DevOps/Automation:
o Tackle complex development, automation, and business process problems. o Support the application CI/CD pipeline for promoting software into higher
environments through validation and operational gating, and lead Mastercard in
DevOps automation and best practices.
o Performs operational and resilience Design and implements solutions for capacity
planning and performance optimization.
o Increase automation and tooling to reduce toil and manual intervention
• ITSM Practices:
o Analyses ITSM activities of the platform and provide feedback loop to development
teams on operational gaps or resiliency concerns

Role qualifications:
The ideal candidate will have experience in many of these areas:
• BS degree in Computer Science or related technical field involving coding (e.g., physics or
mathematics), or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong understanding of DevOps principles, practices along with configuration management.
• Experience in operational and resilience designing, building, and operating large-scale,
distributed systems.
• Appetite for change and pushing the boundaries of what can be done with automation. Be

• Experience with algorithms, data structures, scripting, pipeline management, and software
design.
• Systematic problem-solving approach, analytical, coupled with strong communication skills
and a sense of ownership and drive.
• Interest in designing, analysing, and troubleshooting large-scale distributed systems.
• Strong leadership and mentoring skills.
• A passion for observability, automation and continuous improvement.
• Willingness and ability to learn and take on challenging opportunities and to work as a
member of matrix based diverse and geographically distributed project team.
• Ability to balance doing things right with fixing things quickly. Flexible and pragmatic, while
working towards improving the long-term health of the system.
• Comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure that expected system
behaviour is understood and monitoring exists to detect anomalies. Corporate Security Responsibility

  • Abide by Mastercard’s security policies and practices;

  • Ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the information being accessed;

  • Report any suspected information security violation or breach, and
