Senior Technical Product Manager

About Payset

Payset is a regulated fintech company operating at the intersection of payments, FX, and multi-currency infrastructure. We serve businesses and financial institutions across global markets, enabling fast, compliant, and transparent money movement. Our core platform handles mission-critical payment flows - and we're looking for a Technical PM who can help us build and scale it.

About the role

We're hiring a Technical Product Manager to lead our core backend team. This is a hands on, infrastructure focused role for someone who has genuinely worked close to the metal in payments - not just managed around it. You'll own the product direction for the systems that move money: payment rails, settlement flows, FX, and the APIs and integrations that sit on top of them.

You'll be the bridge between engineering and the business - someone engineers trust to define the right problem, and stakeholders trust to communicate what's being built and why.

What you'll do

• Own the roadmap for Payset's core payment infrastructure - defining priorities, trade offs, and sequencing in collaboration with engineering leads.

• Translate complex technical and regulatory requirements into clear, actionable product specs that engineering can build with confidence.

• Drive delivery across the core backend team - from discovery and scoping through to release and iteration.

• Work closely with compliance, risk, and legal to ensure new features and integrations meet regulatory standards across jurisdictions.

• Own relationships with technical stakeholders: payment schemes, banking partners, and third party infrastructure providers.

• Define and track meaningful product metrics - system reliability, transaction success rates, processing latency, and business level payment volumes.

• Identify technical debt and infrastructure gaps that create product risk, and make the case for addressing them alongside new feature development.

What we're looking for

• Payments depth, not just exposure - you've worked directly on payment rails, settlement flows, card issuing/acquiring, or SEPA/SWIFT integrations in a product capacity. You can explain how a payment moves end to end, what systems touch it, and what can go wrong.

• Technical credibility - you can engage meaningfully with engineers on architecture decisions, challenge technical assumptions, and write specs that don't require translation. A background in engineering or a similarly technical field is a strong advantage.

• Fintech regulatory awareness - practical familiarity with AML/KYC requirements, SEPA rules, PSD2, or equivalent frameworks. Enough to factor compliance into product decisions without needing to be guided by legal at every step.

• Ownership mindset- you define the what and the why, not just coordinate the when. You've shaped product decisions, not just facilitated the process around them.

• 6+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years in a fintech or payments infrastructure environment.

• Strong communication skills in English - you can translate between engineering, business, and external partners clearly and confidently.

Strong advantages

• Experience with crypto/blockchain payment infrastructure or digital asset platforms.

• Hands on familiarity with SEPA Instant, SWIFT GPI, or direct scheme connectivity.

• Experience working in or with regulated EMIs, banks, or payment institutions.

• Prior work with multi currency accounts, FX products, or cross border payment flows.

• Startup or scale up background - comfortable with ambiguity and fast moving priorities.

What we offer

• A senior role with real ownership - you'll shape the direction of our most critical infrastructure, not execute someone else's roadmap.

• Direct collaboration with engineering leadership and the VP of R&D.

• A fast moving, international team operating across multiple markets and payment corridors.

• Competitive compensation, flexible working arrangements, and room to grow as Payset scales.
