As part of the initiative, we are building Visa’s Open Banking engineering team in Bangalore—designed from the ground up to be AI-first. Every engineer in this team will work in close collaboration with Generative AI agents as development companions, leveraging Visa’s extensive portfolio of AI models, tools, and experimentation platforms. This AI-augmented approach will supercharge every stage of the engineering lifecycle—from solution design and code generation to testing, deployment, monitoring, and continual service improvement—enabling us to deliver innovative, high-quality connectivity solutions at unprecedented speed and scale.

Role Overview

As a Software Engineer in this team, you will:

• Build high-performance, scalable APIs integrating with both documented and undocumented banking interfaces.
• Co-develop integrations / features side-by-side with GenAI agents to dramatically increase speed-to-market and code quality.

• Continuously experiment with Visa’s rich portfolio of Generative AI models (transformers, LLMs, GANs, VAEs, multimodal models) and cutting-edge AI tools for production and innovation.
• Deliver new features on a rapid cadence (every few days) with end-to-end accountability.

What You Will Do

• AI-Powered Development
  • Partner with GenAI agents for code generation, refactoring, and automated testing.
  • Experiment in Visa’s AI sandbox, where multiple GenAI models and frameworks are available for employee-driven innovation.
  • Apply Generative AI models to API integration challenges, anomaly detection, and intelligent automation.
• Open Banking Integrations
  • Build components integrating with banks’ APIs to aggregate and enrich consumer financial data.
  • Handle high-load systems with stringent uptime requirements.
  • Work with Visa’s Tink technologies stack: Java, Node.js, JavaScript, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, SQL, Datadog and much more.
• Cloud-Native DevOps
  • Own end-to-end delivery: design, build, deploy, monitor, and maintain services in AWS/Kubernetes/Docker environments.
  • Implement CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and automated observability using Datadog and related tooling.
  • Participate in on-call rotations to ensure high availability and operational excellence.
• Collaboration & Mentorship
  • Coach junior engineers, especially in leveraging AI engineering assistants.
  • Contribute to AI-first engineering culture—sharing learnings from model experimentation.
