As a Technical Product Manager, you'll own the roadmap for products built on high throughput, event-driven systems, working closely with engineers to turn complex technical capabilities into tools that drive a massive global payment network.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own the product roadmap for systems built on streaming and event-driven architecture
- Translate technical capabilities like Kafka, microservices, and cloud infrastructure into clear product requirements
- Partner with engineering to prioritize backlog items based on technical complexity and business value
- Define success metrics for high throughput data products and track them post launch
- Run discovery with technical and business stakeholders to identify the highest impact work
- Write clear specs and acceptance criteria that engineers can build against without back and forth
- Align cross-functional teams (engineering, design, data, business) around a shared roadmap
- Make data-informed tradeoffs when scope, timeline, or technical constraints collide
- Communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and business context to engineers
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 5+ years of product management experience, ideally on platforms with real technical depth
- Working familiarity with event-driven architecture and streaming systems like Kafka
- Comfortable talking through microservices, system design, and AWS with an engineering team
- Some exposure to Python products, whether you've written code yourself or worked closely with those who have
- Experience running agile ceremonies and owning a backlog with clear accountability for outcomes
- Strong stakeholder management skills, including with technical and senior audiences
- A track record of shipping products, not just planning them
- Curious, clear communicator, comfortable being the translator between business and engineering
