are looking for a senior technology leader to own the technical strategy and modernization of our Credit Card Payments domain.\nThis leader will establish the architecture and engineering roadmap to improve payment resiliency on our existing vendor infrastructure while progressively building a modern payment orchestration capability.\nThe role requires a combination of deep engineering leadership, payments domain expertise, architecture judgment, and the ability to work across Product, Business, Operations, Risk and enterprise technology teams.\nWhat You’ll Own\nOwn the end-to-end technology strategy across four core payment capabilities:\nCustomer Intent - reliably capture and persist what the customer intends to pay, independent of downstream vendor availability.\nPayment Processing - orchestrate payment execution, routing, retries, idempotency, status management and vendor integration.\nPayment Reconciliation - ensure payments are accurately reconciled across OneMain, vendors and payment rails, with strong exception management and auditability.\n Payment Posting - ensure payment outcomes are accurately reflected on the customer’s account, including balances, available credit, reversals and adjustments.\nKey Responsibilities\nDefine the short- and long-term Payments technology strategy and target architecture.\nLead near-term efforts to improve resiliency while existing vendors continue to provide core payment processing capabilities.\nEstablish a payment orchestration layer that progressively decouples customer experiences from vendor-specific implementations.\nOwn technology decisions across the complete payment lifecycle-from customer intent through processing, reconciliation and posting.\nIdentify failure modes and design for retries, recovery, idempotency, observability and operational resilience.\nEstablish canonical payment APIs, events, states and domain boundaries.\nLead technical discovery and translate findings into an executable modernization roadmap.\nPartner with Product and Business leaders to identify payment capabilities that improve customer experience and operational outcomes.\nDevelop the engineering organization and identify talent or capability gaps required to execute the strategy.\nProvide technical leadership across teams rather than allowing payment capabilities to become fragmented across individual customer journeys.\nMaintain strong security, risk and regulatory controls across the payment lifecycle.\nWhat We’re Looking For\nSignificant software engineering and technology leadership experience building highly available, distributed platforms.\nStrong experience with payments, financial services, transaction processing or similarly complex transactional systems.\nDeep understanding of distributed-system concepts including idempotency, asynchronous processing, event-driven architecture, consistency, retries and failure recovery.\nExperience integrating with payment processors, banking platforms or other third-party transaction systems.\nStrong API and domain architecture experience.\nAbility to operate in ambiguity, identify the real problem and establish a clear technical direction.\nAbility to move between architecture, engineering execution and business outcomes.\nStrong executive communication and cross-functional influence.\nTrack record of developing strong engineers and technical leaders.\nRequired Qualifications\nFive years or more of progressive responsibility as an engineer on development teams directly responsible for building and delivering software-intensive systems.\nThree years or more in a lead developer, team lead, or comparable engineering leadership role organizing, developing, and mentoring a team.\nDemonstrated experience leading several engineering teams with differing objectives, developing leaders, and ensuring effective talent planning and execution.\nKnowledge of technology and management principles involved in planning, organizational change management, resource allocation, leadership techniques, and coordination of people.\nProven ability to assess software engineering practices and implement improvements that increase engineering effectiveness, operational efficiency, time to value, reliability, and product quality.\nDemonstrated ability to contribute to technology strategy and planning, translate broader vision into priorities, and drive execution across teams.\nStrong problem-solving skills with the ability to identify root causes, evaluate alternatives, resolve cross-team conflicts, and create solutions that can be replicated across teams.\nStrong communication and influence skills, including the ability to explain complex technology decisions, tradeoffs, risks, and strategy to senior technical and business stakeholders.\nDemonstrated ability to foster a culture of learning, engineering excellence, innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement.\nPreferred Qualifications\nDeep experience in payments, financial services, transaction processing, or other complex, highly regulated transactional systems.\nExperience with payment orchestration, payment processors, banking platforms, ACH or other payment rails, reconciliation, posting, settlement, returns, and exception management.\nExperience designing and operating highly available distributed systems, including durable state management, idempotency, asynchronous processing, retries, recovery, event-driven architecture, APIs, observability, and cloud technologies.\nExperience leading modernization or transformation initiatives from discovery and target-state architecture through executable roadmaps and production delivery.\nExperience establishing domain boundaries, canonical APIs and events, and architectures that reduce dependency on vendor-specific implementations.\nTrack record of hiring, retaining, mentoring, and growing high-performing engineers and engineering leaders.\nDemonstrated success partnering across Product, Business, Operations, Risk, Architecture, Security, and external vendors to deliver measurable customer and business outcomes.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nThis leader will move Payments from a vendor-dependent integrations toward a resilient Payments domain owned by OneMain.\nIn the near term, success means protecting the customer payment experience from vendor availability and failure scenarios.\nLonger term, success means establishing an orchestration architecture where customer intent and payment state are owned by OneMain, vendors provide processing capabilities, and the architecture can support multiple processors or payment rails as business needs evolve.\nOneMain Financial (NYSE: OMF) is the leader in
