The role

The objective of this 3-month contract is to deliver a complete set of detailed technical product requirements for iwoca’s payments system and credit card ledger, laying the foundation for a robust and scalable product. You will play a key role in building cross-functional clarity by leading focused walkthroughs and producing a practical Q&A reference to support implementation, testing, and onboarding. Success will be measured by the timely delivery of clear, actionable documentation and a step-change in team understanding of the payment infrastructure and ledger requirements.

You will:

* Deliver a complete set of technical product requirements for iwoca’s payment processing infrastructure and credit card ledger

o Define technical requirements to support the authorisation flow, payments infrastructure and the credit card ledger.

o Ensure alignment with Visa/Mastercard scheme rules, regulatory requirements, and internal accounting principles.

* Educate the team on credit card ledger requirements and processing flows

o Run structured walkthrough sessions with Product, Engineering, and Finance to explain the transaction logic, authorisation flows and scheme nuances.

o Support knowledge sharing by answering queries and aligning cross-functional understanding.

o Support the architectural design of the payments and credit card ledger system, actively contributing into it.

* Create a Q&A reference document

o Compile a structured, living document addressing key questions raised during the project, covering edge cases, ledger behaviours, scheme rules, and design decisions.

o Ensure it serves as a reference for engineers, QA testers, auditors, and future team members.

The requirements

* Experience working with card payments, issuing or processing platforms, tokenisation, and card scheme rules.

* Expertise in payment protocols and security standards such as EMV, PCI, and scheme-specific APIs.

* Direct involvement in modelling end-to-end card transaction flows: authorisation, clearing, settlement, chargebacks, and reconciliation.

* Ability to convert business rules and scheme regulations into system behaviours and requirements.

* Experience working alongside cross-functional teams including Product, Engineering, Compliance and Finance, with enough technical understanding to contribute meaningfully.

* Comfortable writing precise, testable requirements and reviewing their implementation with engineers.

* Able to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical teams, and document decisions for traceability.

Bonus:
