What's Exciting About the Role

The Senior Systems Engineer is a hands-on, operationally accountable role at the heart of Verifone's Americas IT Infrastructure team.

This is a role for an experienced engineer who can independently own workstreams, mentor junior team members, and drive cross-team initiatives with limited supervision. You will proactively identify issues, propose solutions, and deliver results that directly impact Verifone's infrastructure reliability and compliance posture.
