Senior Product Manager, CPN Payments Engine

Role Overview

As a Senior Product Manager, you will own the product strategy for the CPN Payments Engine, defining the reliability, performance, and capability roadmap to enable OFIs and BFIs to move money at scale. You will lead cross-functional execution to turn engine improvements into measurable gains in throughput, latency, and success rates.

What You Will Do

You will own the Payments Engine roadmap, drive payment performance, shape API and protocol capabilities, build engine observability and control, and partner across the network to improve reliability, reduce latency, and increase success rates.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You will bring strong analytical skills, a track record of shipping reliability or performance improvements, and experience working cross-functionally with Engineering, Operations, Compliance, and BD/Sales. You will have the ability to operate at both the strategic and tactical levels and have clear, structured communication skills.

Requirements

• 5+ years in Product Management at a payments, fintech, or financial infrastructure company

• Track record of shipping reliability or performance improvements with measurable impact (e.g., success rate, p99 latency, error rate reduction)
• Experience working cross-functionally with Engineering, Operations, Compliance, and BD/Sales to drive outcomes in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
• Ability to operate at both the strategic level (roadmap, architecture trade-offs, partner SLAs) and the tactical level (debugging a failed payment, unblocking a specific corridor, writing a precise spec)
• Clear, structured communication — can produce decision-ready documents, technical specs, and cross-functional alignment materials

• Competitive compensation package
• Flexible work environment
• Opportunity to work on a mission to create an inclusive financial future
