Description
Summary:
This high-ownership role involves building and stabilizing critical data infrastructure, owning models, pipelines, and automation for payment operations.
Highlights:
1. High-ownership position with real scope in critical data infrastructure
2. Building and maintaining data models and pipelines using SQL, dbt, or equivalent

**About the team**
------------------
The CoreOps Payments cell is the operational and data backbone of SumUp's acquiring business in Latin America — responsible for reconciliation, cost visibility, and the data infrastructure that keeps payment operations running accurately every day. This role sits at the heart of that work: owning the models, pipelines, and automation that the whole cell depends on to make sound decisions. It's a high\-ownership position with real scope — you'll be building and stabilising critical data infrastructure in a space where the work directly shapes how SumUp manages and optimises its own acquiring processes.
**What you'll do**
------------------
* Own and maintain the data models and pipelines that support clearing\-to\-settlement reconciliation, processing cost visibility, and multi\-acquiring analytics
* Build and stabilise operational dashboards and alerts that feed day\-to\-day decisions across the Payments cell
* Support accounting closures with reliable, automated data pipelines, reducing manual effort and increasing accuracy
* Reduce operational data work through automation, alerting, and standardised processes as the team scales to new markets and acquirers
* Act as a technical bridge across CoreOps cells and with global teams, sharing best practices and translating operational needs into data solutions
**You'll be great for this role if…**
-------------------------------------
* Hands\-on experience building and maintaining data models and pipelines using SQL, dbt, or equivalent tools.
* Strong ability to work with raw, complex financial or transactional data and turn it into reliable, operational outputs.
* Familiarity with reconciliation processes or financial data workflows, with a detail\-oriented approach that prioritises accuracy.
* Comfort working in ambiguous environments, able to build structure and define processes where little currently exists.
* Intermediate\-to\-advanced English proficiency, with the communication skills to work effectively across technical and non\-technical stakeholders in a multi\-market environment.
