Job description

Join CellPoint Digital: Shape the Future of Payments with Us!

At CellPoint Digital, we’re revolutionizing the way businesses in the air, travel, and hospitality sectors manage their payments.

Our leading payment orchestration platform helps some of the world’s leading brands make payments simpler, smarter and profitable- from improving payment experiences and maximizing approval rates, to reducing costs and unlocking new opportunities.

But technology is only part of the story. It’s our people who make the difference.

We’re a global team of innovators, problem-solvers and ambitious professionals who care about the work we do and the impact we have. We work across borders, functions and cultures, bringing different perspectives together to solve complex problems and deliver meaningful results for our customers.

Join us as an Analytics Engineer (Payments / Orchestration) on our mission to turn payments into possibilities!

In this role, you will own the company’s source of truth for payments data.

This role is responsible for transforming raw transaction events into trusted metrics, actionable insights, and merchant-facing reporting that directly improve authorization rates and routing performance.

This is not a dashboard-building role. You will define how the business measures performance, identifies problems, and makes decisions.

We are a high-velocity team. You are expected to leverage AI tools to accelerate development, analysis, and problem-solving.

How You Will Make an Impact:

• Create a single source of truth for payments performance
• Define and standardize metrics across transactions, routing, declines, and retries
• Eliminate inconsistencies and ensure the organization operates on aligned KPIs
• Build the foundation for all analytics and reporting
• Develop scalable, well-structured data models that power internal and external reporting
• Enable faster, more reliable access to critical business data
• Increase trust in data across the organization
• Implement testing, monitoring, and alerting to ensure data accuracy and reliability
• Reduce time spent questioning data and increase time spent acting on it
• Drive measurable improvements in authorization rates
• Identify root causes of declines and quantify their business impact
• Influence routing and retry strategies with data-backed recommendations
• Deliver insights that improve merchant performance
• Provide clear, actionable reporting that helps merchants understand and optimize their payment outcomes
• Raise the bar on team velocity and execution
• Apply AI tools to accelerate analysis, modeling, and problem-solving
• Set a standard for speed and quality in how data work gets done

Skills you will have fine-tuned:

• Turning ambiguous problems into measurable metrics
• Navigating tradeoffs and edge cases in metric design
• Structuring event-level data into reusable, intuitive datasets
• Building semantic layers that support both technical and non-technical users
• Implementing data quality frameworks that prevent issues before they surface
• Developing strong instincts for detecting anomalies and inconsistencies
• Deep payments analytics expertise
• Understanding how issuer behavior, routing logic, and retries impact authorization outcomes
• Analyzing high-volume transaction data to uncover meaningful patterns
• Communicating insights that drive decisions
• Translating complex data into clear narratives for stakeholders
• Framing recommendations in terms of business impact
• AI-native ways of working
• Integrating tools like OpenAI Codex, Cursor, and Claude into daily workflows
• Continuously refining how to use AI to increase speed, depth, and quality of work

What's in it for you:

• We offer you the opportunity to be an innovator, challenge the status quo, and redefine the payments category
• Competitive salary in a fast-growing start-up
• Medical insurance with coverage for dependents (parents, spouse, children)

Please note, we retain applicant data for 12 months for recruitment purposes and future opportunities, after which it is securely deleted. At CellPoint Digital we are committed to be globally compliant with robust data protection.
