Technical Product Manager - Client Intelligence & Data
Remote
Job Summary
Own single-threaded leadership for the RAILS transaction rail, driving end-to-end delivery across Connectivity, Payment Orchestration, Transaction Core, Money Operations, and Risk domains. Define agentic strategy to reduce client onboarding friction while enforcing a "Stop the Line" quality standard and YBIYRI culture. Lead cross-functional pods of elite engineers to build headless, bank-grade capabilities, prioritizing roadmap items using the RICE framework to balance architectural integrity with market opportunism. Optimize payment handoffs between domains to maximize approval rates and minimize costs. Senior-level TPM role in a remote European environment with competitive compensation, stock options, and flexible work arrangements.
Required Qualifications
- Senior-level experience
- Deep technical foundation: Strong understanding of cloud-native architectures, distributed systems, APIs, event-driven platforms, and modern software engineering practices (Cloud-native/Serverless, Kotlin/Go, gRPC/REST)
- Platform-as-a-Product experience: Proven experience building foundational platform capabilities or complex distributed systems spanning multiple interdependent domains — ideally payments routing, transaction processing, settlement, or fraud/risk infrastructure
- Execution mastery: Track record of driving delivery velocity across a wide surface area, unblocking engineering teams, managing dependencies across many domains, and optimizing DORA metrics
- The "Maker" mindset: Preference for clean, modular architecture over monolithic shortcuts, especially when coordinating multiple interlocking domains
- Commercial sharpness: Ability to articulate technical trade-offs (e.g., tech debt vs. feature velocity, approval rate vs. cost) to executive stakeholders and translate growth goals into technical requirements
- Serve as the accountable product leader for the transaction rail, driving alignment, prioritisation, and execution across all teams involved in the payment lifecycle
- Understand and optimize the handoffs between domains — how a routing decision in Payment Orchestration affects approval rates, how the Transaction Core's state machine feeds Money Operations' reconciliation, and how Risk, Trust & Vault gates every authorization
- Define the "what" and "why" for platform features that move client onboarding toward low-to-no coding effort, from provider certification to routing rules
- Enforce a "Stop the Line" mentality for quality, maintaining a Stability Floor of highly automated quality assurance across every domain in the rail
- Lead a high-ownership set of pods staffed with elite engineers across the five domains, partnering with Staff Engineers and the CTO Office to eliminate silos
- Evangelize and operationalize the YBIYRI mindset across all five domains, ensuring teams design for multi-tenancy, elastic scaling, and automated observability
- Use the RICE framework to turn ambiguous, cross-domain requirements into a single, structured, executable roadmap that balances architectural integrity against market opportunism
- Remote in Europe
- Full Time
Desired Qualifications
- Working knowledge of payment provider integration patterns, smart routing/retry logic, transaction state machines, settlement/reconciliation, and PCI-scoped fraud and vaulting systems
