Global brands including McDonald's, NetEase Games, GoFundMe, and Rappi run their payments on Yuno.About The RoleYuno is looking for a Staff Engineer to be the senior technical leader for Trust & Vault — the domain that secures card data and optimizes how it's used across every transaction on the platform. You'll architect the foundational systems behind PCI-compliant card vaulting and tokenization, card authentication (3DS, network tokenization), and the optimization capabilities that lift authorization and acceptance rates, and raise the technical bar for the pod that builds them.This is a hands-on leadership role in a zero-tolerance-for-failure environment. You'll design and build bank-grade, resilient capabilities, champion a "You Build It, You Run It" culture where your team owns its services from code to production, and turn the hardest problems in card-data security and payment optimization into elegant, maintainable architecture.What This Domain OwnsCard vaulting & tokenization — tokenize, store, and retrieve raw card data within the PCI boundaryAuthentication — 3DS / SCA and network tokenization to authenticate cardholders and strengthen every transactionPayment optimization — lift authorization and acceptance rates through network tokens, account updater, and intelligent use of vaulted dataAccount updater & portfolio migration — keep stored card credentials current to reduce declines, and migrate card portfolios between vaults and processorsHow AI Shows Up in This RoleThe tokenization, authentication, and vaulting layer you own is foundational infrastructure for an AI-native platform — the secure card-data foundation every transaction, including agent-driven flows, depends onAI is our default execution layer: you're expected to use AI-assisted tooling fluently across design, implementation, testing, and review,
