Company Description Visa is a world leader in payments technology, facilitating transactions between consumers, merchants, financial institutions and government entities across more than 200 countries and territories, dedicated to uplifting everyone, everywhere by being the best way to pay and be paid. At Visa, you'll have the opportunity to create impact at scale — tackling meaningful challenges, growing your skills and seeing your contributions impact lives around the world. Join Visa and do work that matters — to you, to your community, and to the world. Progress starts with you. Job Description We are looking for a strategic, technically fluent, and platform-centric Senior Product Manager to define and build the foundational bedrock and core business capabilities of our Integrated Risk Platform (IRP). This is a core component of Visa’s mission to protect the global payments ecosystem through real-time fraud detection, risk scoring, and intelligent decisioning. In this role, you will lead the strategy for Foundational Services alongside end-to-end Risk business capabilities, including Rules Management and Investigation (Case) Management. You will treat Infrastructure as a Product, ensuring a robust, scalable, and secure technical foundation, but you will look beyond just the infrastructure to define the holistic product experience. You will be responsible for a unified platform that empowers clients to detect fraud (Rules/Decisioning), investigate threats (Case Management), and operate at scale (Foundation). By closely collaborating with Engineering, DevOps, Security, and Data Science teams, you will translate complex stakeholder needs into a paved road experience—delivering a solution that reduces fraud, enhances operational efficiency, and drives trust for Issuers, Acquirers, and Merchants. What You’ll Build: Platform Reliability You will define the paved road that accelerates time-to-market for all Risk products.

DORA Metrics Dashboard: Provide engineering leadership with real-time visibility into delivery performance and stability. Unified Observability & Health Provide a single pane of glass for real-time system health to achieve Tier-0 availability (99.999%). Centralized Logging & Tracing: A unified pipeline and query engine for all IRP services with end-to-end distributed tracing to pinpoint bottlenecks. Unified Metrics & Alerting: A standardized framework (e.g., Prometheus) to reduce Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) from hours to minutes. Pervasive Security & Tenant Management Build a zero-trust security model and seamless onboarding directly into the platform fabric. Integration: Consistent way to integrate with different client/customer and easily to scale Intelligent Rule & Policy Management: Collaborate with stakeholders to define the engine of the platform, enabling risk strategists to stop fraud in real-time. Self-Service Strategy Management: A low-code/no-code environment for clients to author, test, and deploy complex fraud rules without engineering dependencies. Simulation & Replay: Capabilities to backtest new rules against historical data to predict impact before going live. Decision Orchestration: A flexible engine that combines rules, ML scores, and third-party data to render sub-second decisions. Advanced Case Management & Workflow: You will design the tools that power the human side of fraud investigation. Unified Analyst Workbench: A single interface for analysts to review flagged transactions, visualize linked entities, and make decisions. Automated Workflows: Configurable queues and routing logic to ensure the right high-priority cases get to the right investigators instantly. Feedback Loops: A seamless mechanism where analyst outcomes (e.g., Confirmed Fraud) automatically feed back into the system to retrain ML models and update lists.
