Private-sector US payments infrastructure for instant, ACH, wire and check
The Clearing House operates core US payments rails, including the RTP real-time network, on a stack that pairs mainframe-era DB2 and IBM MQ with AWS, OpenShift, Kubernetes and Terraform. That hybrid footprint lines up with recurring pain points around legacy modernization and moving payment platforms to cloud-native. Hiring is accelerating and senior engineering-heavy, with security and ops roles alongside.
The Clearing House, founded in 1853 and headquartered in New York, owns and operates payments clearing and settlement infrastructure in the United States across wire, ACH, check image and instant payments. Its RTP network, launched in 2017, handles immediate clearing and settlement plus related payment data on the same channel. The company serves banks and financial institutions, and an affiliated banking trade association handles payments policy advocacy. It employs 201–500 people and hires in the United States.
Its stack includes Java, Python, DB2, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, IBM MQ, AWS, Azure, OpenShift, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, F5 BIG-IP, Prometheus and ServiceNow.
Yes. Engineering leads its accelerating US hiring, skewed toward senior roles, with additional openings in ops, security, finance and support.
Job posts point to real-time payment system launch work, data migrations, test automation, security hardening, hybrid architecture integration and AI-enabled workflows.
