We solve world-scale problems and provide opportunities to match. We build diverse teams that recognize our strengths and allow us to work on our weaknesses. You bring skills and a relentless focus on the customer, and we'll provide the support you need to do the best work of your life.

The Team:
We are team based...
We work in an open team room; no cubicles or private offices. Communication is key to our process, and we don't want to hinder it with walls. We work directly with coworkers as well as merchants to triage, design, and solve the business's technical challenges. The key to our strong team is transparency and responsibility.
We are agile...
For us, the most important part of being Agile is doing what works best for the team. We work off a story card wall and release weekly. We keep the team in sync with daily stand-ups and have a retrospective to discuss things that are going well and opportunities for improvements. We regularly communicate with our stakeholders and partner teams to get immediate feedback. We value diverse opinions and we do what's right for the product and the team.
The Role:
As Sr. Technical Program Manager, Platform and Infrastructure with Braintree, you will set a big-picture vision for and evolve the platform our SaaS product is built on top of. You will bring to bear your rare blend of business and technical savvy to lead the development of the platform. You will utilize your keen eye for detail, the courage to dive into key strategic initiatives, and the dedication to seeing things through to make your products a reality.
