Progress starts with you.\nJob Description\nEvery time someone taps, swipes, or clicks to pay- Visa infrastructure makes it happen in milliseconds, across 200+ countries. As a Software Development Engineer on the Product Reliability Engineering (PRE) team, you won’t just watch those systems run- you’ll be one of the engineers building, automating, and evolving them.\nPRE is not a traditional ops team. We are a software engineering organization that treats infrastructure as code, reliability as a product, and automation as a strategic advantage. You’ll write Python, build agentic AI tools, manage data platforms, and contribute to the distributed systems that process billions of real-time transactions. From day one, you are an engineer- and from day one, your work matters.\nIf you are endlessly curious about how large-scale systems stay resilient, obsess over elegant automation, and want to launch your career at the intersection of AI, infrastructure, and global financial technology - this role was built for you.\n Build Automation That Scales\nDesign and ship end-to-end automation for deployment pipelines, infrastructure provisioning, and release orchestration - code that runs millions of times so engineers never have to repeat themselves.\nWrite clean, production-grade Python (and Go or Bash where it counts) to eliminate toil, reduce manual intervention, and make systems self-managing.\nDevelop modular frameworks for release scheduling, validation, rollback, and reporting that integrate across the full software delivery lifecycle.\nManage & Evolve Data Platforms\nSupport the build, deployment, and operations of relational database systems, contributing to schema design, architecture decisions, and solution engineering for critical payment data infrastructure.\nGain exposure to real-time event streaming architectures that support payment processing at scale\nPerform database health operations including patching, upgrades, backups, and recovery to maintain the availability and integrity of tier-1 production databases.\nOptimize query performance through index tuning, execution plan analysis, and replication monitoring - targeting metrics like query execution time, CPU usage, and replication latency.\nAutomate database tasks and configuration management using tools like Ansible and Liquibase, and contribute to CI/CD pipelines that govern schema changes through TEST and PROD environments safely.\nBuild predictive and reactive monitoring dashboards for database anomalies, surfacing health signals before they become incidents.\nShip Agentic AI & ML-Powered Tools\nBuild GenAI-powered engineering assistants that automate deployment orchestration, release governance, and environment lifecycle management.\nIntegrate LLMs into observability, incident response, and developer support workflows, transforming reactive operations into proactive, AI-driven intelligence.\nContribute to prompt engineering, model fine-tuning, and agentic automation initiatives that position PRE as one of the most AI-forward reliability organizations in financial technology.\nOwn Observability & Platform Health\nBuild dashboards, alerts, and metrics using Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, or ELK that give engineers real-time clarity on complex, globally distributed systems.\nAnalyze system performance and availability data and turn insights into infrastructure improvements that prevent incidents before they occur.\nContribute to self-healing and auto-scaling capabilities that keep critical payment infrastructure resilient without human intervention.\nEngineer for Reliability & Security\nEnsure infrastructure and data platforms meet security and compliance standards across cloud-native deployments supporting global financial services at scale.\nSupport zero-downtime deployment strategies and high-availability architectures that Visa’s partners and billions of cardholders depend on around the clock.\nParticipate in threat modeling, vulnerability remediation, and audit readiness activities as part of a team that treats security as a first-class engineering concern.\n Collaborate, Learn & Grow Fast\nEmbed within Agile squads, working alongside senior engineers, product managers, and global PRE peers across sprint planning, reviews, and release discussions.\nDocument runbooks, SOPs, and engineering guides that make the team smarter, faster, and more autonomous over time.\nParticipate in on-call rotations (with robust support structures and mentorship) to build the incident response instincts that distinguish great reliability engineers.\n\nVisa requires at least 3 days in office, expectations of these days will be confirmed by your Hiring Manager.Qualifications\nBasic Qualifications:\nBachelor's degree, OR 3+ years of relevant work experience\n Preferred Qualifications:\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field (2023-2025 graduates preferred; December 2025 graduates welcome).\nSolid foundations in data structures, algorithms, and systems design -you can reason about complexity, tradeoffs, and failure modes.\nProficiency in Python and comfort writing scripts or tools in at least one additional language (Go, Java, or Bash).\nFoundational understanding of relational databases (RDBMS): SQL, data modeling, query optimization, and database connectivity troubleshooting.\nFamiliarity with Linux/Unix environments and meaningful command-line fluency.\nExposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and a conceptual understanding of containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).\nUnderstanding of CI/CD principles and how modern software delivery pipelines are structured and maintained.\nGenuine curiosity about GenAI platforms and agentic systems (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, LangChain, or similar)- hands-on exposure is a plus, intellectual interest is a must.\n Bonus Points:\nHands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code tools: Terraform, Ansible, or Pulumi -even from coursework, a capstone, or an internship.\nExperience with database CI/CD tooling, particularly Liquibase for schema change management across environments.\nExperience with observability tooling: Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, ELK, or Datadog.\nDatabase administration exposure: backup/recovery procedures, performance tuning, index management, or replication monitoring.\nFamiliarity with Git workflows and modern DevOps toolchains (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD).\nAcademic or project experience with ML frameworks: scikit-learn, PyTorch, or LangChain / LangGraph.\nUnderstanding of networking fundamentals: DNS, load balancing, service mesh, or TCP/IP.\nA GitHub profile, personal project, hackathon entry, or open-source contribution that shows us how you think and build.\n\nInformation for US Applicants\nVisa has a comprehensive benefits package for which this position may be eligible that includes Medical, Dental, Vision, 401(k), FSA/HSA, Life Insurance, Paid Time Off, and Wellness Program.Work Hours\nVaries upon the needs of the department.\nTravel Requirements\nThis position requires travel 5-10% of the time.\nMental/Physical Requirements\nThis position will be performed in an office setting. The position will require the incumbent to sit and stand at a desk, communicate in person and by telephone, frequently operate standard office equipment, such as telephones and computers.\nVisa is an EEO Employer\nQualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or protect veteran status.
