About the role:

You'll help the Payment Gate team ship new payment features faster and with higher quality, working across a real-time platform that processes thousands of financial transactions daily.

What you'll do:

• Work within the Payment Gate team, responsible for the payment hub and payment-gate — core infrastructure that processes thousands of real-time transactions

• Translate business and technical requirements into clear system specifications, integration plans, data models, and process diagrams that development teams can build from

• Bridge product, engineering, and operations to define how payment solutions are designed, integrated, tested, and released

What you'll own:

• Design and configure system solutions on the Payment Gate platform, from requirements analysis through to integration planning and go-live support

• Create and maintain detailed documentation: functional specifications, data models, sequence diagrams, and BPMN process flows

• Define integration requirements and manage data mapping between Payment Gate and connected systems, including core banking, CRM, and third-party payment APIs

• Run system testing, troubleshoot issues, and work directly with developers to resolve problems before and after release

• Identify workflow gaps and propose improvements to how payment features are built, validated, and deployed

• Conduct user training and provide ongoing support to teams working with Payment Gate systems

What makes you a strong fit:

• 3+ years as a System Analyst or in a closely related role, with experience in payment systems or financial platforms

• Strong understanding of system architecture, API integrations, and enterprise application integration (e.g., core banking, CRM, third-party APIs)

• Proficient in BPMN notation; able to produce clear sequence diagrams, data flow models, and functional specifications

• Hands-on experience with data mapping, API integration workflows, and integration testing

• Able to write documentation that is precise enough for developers and clear enough for non-technical stakeholders

• Comfortable working with distributed, cross-functional teams across different time zones

What we offer:

Ownership and flexibility

• Stock option plan — four-year vesting with a 25% cliff after the first year

• Fully remote work with core collaboration hours from 12:00 to 6:00 PM Manila time (UTC+8)

• Company-provided tools and equipment

Health and time off

• Medical insurance support for you and your family through co-funding or reimbursement, depending on your location and subject to policy limits
