Job description

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.
