About the role
We’re looking for a Platform Product Manager to lead the systems, integrations, and internal capabilities that support our products across multiple channels.
This role is focused on building and evolving the foundation behind the product - the APIs, workflows, data models, configurations, and partner integrations that make the overall system scalable, consistent, and easier to extend over time. You’ll work closely with engineering and cross-functional product teams to ensure we are building strong platform capabilities that support both current needs and future growth.
What you’ll own

- Internal tools and configuration layers that support operations and product scalability
- Shared workflows and data models across product areas
- Platform quality, scalability, and long-term maintainability
Responsibilities
- Define and evolve platform capabilities in close partnership with engineering
- Shape APIs, workflows, and data models that are scalable, reusable, and reliable
- Drive consistency across integrations and system behaviors
- Partner with product managers to ensure feature development is supported by strong underlying platform foundations
- Translate product and business needs into structured platform solutions
- Identify bottlenecks, inconsistencies, and manual processes, and turn them into scalable systems
- Balance near-term delivery needs with long-term platform health
- Improve the way internal teams interact with and operate the platform
Requirements
- 4+ years of product management experience
- Experience working on platform, infrastructure, or integration-heavy products
- Strong technical fluency and comfort working on backend, system, and data flow problems
- Experience partnering closely with engineering on technical design and implementation tradeoffs
- Ability to simplify complexity and turn broad problems into clear, scalable solutions
- Experience working with external systems, third-party integrations, or multi-system environments
Nice to have
- Experience in payments, fintech, or operationally complex systems
- Experience building internal tools, configuration systems, or workflow products
What success looks like
- New integrations are easier and faster to implement
- Platform capabilities are reused across products instead of rebuilt each time
- Internal teams have better tools and fewer manual workarounds
- The system becomes easier to maintain, extend, and scale as the business grows
