ACI MTS Developer

The Role:

Join a high‑performing payments engineering team that powers secure, real‑time money movement across the globe. We’re seeking a seasoned ACI MTS Developer who blends deep payments domain expertise with hands‑on engineering excellence - someone who can design with precision, deliver with speed, and support with ownership.

Responsibilities:

• Build & Enhance MTS: Design, develop, and optimize components within ACI MTS—routing rules, adapters, UPF logic, transformation engines, and transaction workflows; oversee deployments via Platform Manager.

• Own Cross‑Border Messaging: Implement transformations for SWIFT MT (MT103/202), CHIPS ISO, and FED ISO20022 (pacs/pain/camt) with robust XML/XSLT/XSD mapping, schema validation, and enrichment.

• Engineer with Craft: Develop in Java and Mainframe COBOL; write clean SQL; craft resilient integration services; integrate and troubleshoot with IBM MQ.

• Production Guardian: Triage and fix production issues on priority—read/interpret logs, identify traps/exceptions, root‑cause and implement stable hotfixes with zero‑defect mindset.

• Dev→QA Flow: Orchestrate code movement from Dev → QA → Prod using GitHub/GitBucket (branching, merging, version control best practices).

• Web Components: Contribute to web development (UI flows, service integrations/portals) as needed for end‑to‑end delivery.

• Operate with Excellence: Use Linux/Unix, PuTTY, and shell scripting for environment checks, log analysis, file movement, and automation.

• Agile in Action: Contribute actively in Scrum ceremonies (Planning, Grooming, Daily Stand‑ups, Reviews, Retrospectives); track stories/defects in Jira and partner closely with QA/BA/Client stakeholders.

Requirements:

• 4–10 years of hands‑on development in Banking/Payments, with strong exposure to high‑value domestic and cross‑border flows.

• Proven expertise in ACI MTS (Control Center, routing, transformations, integrations) and Platform Manager.

• Deep domain knowledge across SWIFT MT, CHIPS ISO, and FED ISO20022 standards.

• Strong programming skills: Java (Core/Integration), Mainframe COBOL, XML/XSLT/XSD/XPath, and SQL.

• Proficiency with IBM MQ (queue processing, diagnostics) and configuration via UPF.

• Production support acumen: log verification, trap analysis, rapid fix deployment, and post‑incident stabilization.

• Practical experience with GitHub/GitBucket for version control and release readiness.

• Working knowledge of web development (UI/service integrations).

• Solid command of Linux/Unix tooling and troubleshooting.

• Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and an ‘own the outcome’ attitude.

Great to Have:

• REST/SOAP APIs, Kafka, microservices, and CI/CD (Jenkins/Git Actions).

• Exposure to settlement, exceptions, AML/sanctions workflows.

• Experience with high‑volume/real‑time payment platforms.
