• Collaborate with engineers on backend-focused systems, APIs, integrations, data movement, and edge cases.
• Strengthen reliability, correctness, and scalability across transaction journeys, internal workflows, and control mechanisms.
• Work with internal stakeholders to cut down manual effort, lower operational risk, and prevent user-facing issues.
• Help manage integrations with external vendors and partners while keeping expectations and ownership clear.
• Contribute to roadmap decisions, backlog ranking, and sequencing while considering dependencies and trade-offs.
• Establish and monitor metrics such as system accuracy, turnaround time, failure rates, and user impact.
• Create thorough documentation, including product requirements, workflows, and system diagrams.

Requirements

• At least 1 to 4 years of experience in product management, business analysis, or a similar discipline.
• Comfort with technically complex or backend-heavy products.
• Ability to understand workflows that span engineering, operations, finance, and risk functions.
• A curious mindset with the ability to learn quickly and work confidently in ambiguous, constrained, or regulated settings.
• Comfort working with engineers and exploring system behaviour, data, and failure scenarios in depth.
• A structured approach to problem-solving, with the ability to turn messy issues into practical solutions.
• Strong written communication and an appreciation for clear, useful documentation.
• A collaborative, low-ego mindset with strong ownership and follow-through.
• Bonus exposure to fintech, payments, financial systems, or regulated products.
• Bonus experience with internal tools, operational platforms, or system integrations.
• Bonus familiarity with risk, compliance, fraud, or control-related product work.
• Bonus technical background or strong ease working with backend systems.
