About the Role:

The Hardware Deployment & Configuration Specialist is responsible for the internal preparation, configuration, and quality control of payment terminals and POS hardware prior to merchant deployment. This role plays a critical part in ensuring devices are properly RKI’d, file-built, tested, labeled, and shipped accurately. The ideal candidate is highly detail-oriented, process-driven, and organized, with a strong sense of accountability to ensure every device is fully functional and delivered to the correct destination.

Responsibilities: 

• Perform Remote Key Injection (RKI) on payment terminals and related devices.

• Configure devices according to merchant file builds and deployment specifications.

• Test hardware and payment functionality to confirm readiness.

• Stage, prep, label, and package devices for shipment.

• Ensure accurate assignment of hardware to the correct merchant, MID, and location.

• Maintain organized inventory control and tracking logs.

• Follow documented SOPs to ensure consistency and compliance.

• Identify, troubleshoot, and escalate configuration or hardware issues.

• Coordinate with deployment, fulfillment, and support teams to meet launch timelines.

What Success Looks Like:

• Hardware is deployed right the first time — fully RKI’d, correctly file-built, tested, labeled, and matched to the exact merchant and location, minimizing rework and post-deployment issues.

• Deployment timelines are predictable and reliable, enabling sales, deployment, and support teams to plan with confidence and execute smooth merchant go-lives.

• Operational errors, shipment mistakes, and hardware-related support escalations are materially reduced through disciplined process execution and inventory accuracy.

• Internal stakeholders trust the build and staging process, benefiting from clean handoffs, audit-ready documentation, and consistent execution that protects the merchant experience.

• As volume scales, the deployment function remains structured and controlled, reducing friction and allowing leadership and cross-functional teams to focus on higher-impact priorities.

Candidate Requirements:

Qualification:

• 1–3 years of experience in hardware configuration, payments, POS systems, or technical operations preferred.

• Experience with payment terminals and POS hardware strongly preferred.

• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.

• Process-oriented mindset with the ability to follow structured workflows.

• Comfortable working with technical systems and configuration tools.

• Ability to manage multiple builds while maintaining accuracy.

• Strong communication skills and team collaboration.

Core Competencies:

• Meticulous execution and quality control.

• Operational discipline and accountability.

• Inventory accuracy and documentation.

• Deadline management.

• Continuous process improvement mindset.
