Key business processes

  • Merchant support during integration and live operations.

  • Payment transaction monitoring and issue resolution.

  • Proactive pattern detection, early-warning signals, and preventive actions to reduce merchant friction and operational risk.

  • Continuous improvement of payment flow performance and reliability.

  • Maintenance of documentation and merchant knowledge base.

Job Functions

Operational Support

  • Handle merchant requests through ticketing systems (FreshDesk / Jira) and messengers (TG / Slack).

  • Check transaction statuses, callbacks, and refunds; investigate declined or failed transactions.

  • Explain decline and reason codes (issuer / provider / 3DS).

  • Identify root causes of payment issues: infrastructure, provider, bank, or user-related.

  • Detect recurring patterns, analyze transaction trends, and provide daily operational reports.

  • Support merchants on every day basis, as well as in urgent operational situations to minimize downtime.


Integration Support

  • Assist merchants during the API integration stage.

  • Validate API requests, webhooks, and test scenarios.

  • Support clients until live traffic is successfully launched.

  • Educate merchants on API best practices and ensure clean integration before traffic launch.


Internal Collaboration

  • Act as the “voice of the customer” within APS, delivering feedback, product improvement suggestions, and incident reports to product and engineering teams.

  • Maintain and update technical documentation and merchant-facing materials.

  • Collaborate with compliance and account teams to improve operational efficiency and reduce incident frequency.

Required experience and background

  • Experience in payments, fintech, PSP, or acquiring operations.

  • Solid understanding of payment transaction flow, statuses, 3DS, and basic KYC/AML principles.

  • Familiarity with API concepts (request–response structure, JSON, webhooks, HTTP).

  • Experience working with ticketing systems (e.g., Jira) and analytical tools.

  • Strong analytical mindset: ability to detect patterns, distinguish noise from issues, and formulate data-driven conclusions.

  • Ability to communicate clearly, empathetically, and confidently in English and Russian, balancing accuracy and warmth in merchant communication.

  • Ability to prioritize effectively (critical / urgent / deferred).

  • High accuracy, attention to detail, and responsibility in task execution.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice-to-Have)

  • Experience working with corporate clients and end-users.

  • Ability to simplify complex issues and drive them to resolution.

  • Proficiency in data analysis and visualization for problem identification.

  • Accuracy and completeness of transaction investigations.

  • Merchant satisfaction and feedback ratings.
