Job Requirements
- 5+ years of product management experience, focusing on payments, fintech infrastructure, or transaction orchestration.
- Proven track record shipping complex capabilities in core payment flows — such as incremental auth, refund architecture, fallback handling, and multi-gateway orchestration.
- Strong technical fluency — you understand and can work from payment specifications, network mandates, and API definitions, and collaborate deeply with engineering on architecture and design.
- Deep familiarity with card networks, processors, and the end-to-end lifecycle of a transaction, from initiation to final settlement.
- Experience navigating regional payment differences, acquiring relationships, and compliance requirements across geographies.
- Skilled at leading platform-level initiatives involving distributed systems, asynchronous workflows, and system resilience.
- A natural influencer who can align senior engineers, operations leaders, and external partners around a compelling vision and roadmap.
- Clear and compelling communicator, both written and verbal — able to translate complex systems into crisp narratives for execs, peers, and partners.
- Data- and outcome-driven, relentlessly focused on real-world impact, system metrics, and customer success.
- Excited about building globally scalable payment systems and exploring intelligent optimization techniques (ML-based retry, dynamic routing, etc.).
