About the role
We’re looking for a deeply technical Product Manager to own Payment Routing, Cascading & Payouts, one of most business-critical domains, end to end, from strategy to production.
You'll define how every deposit is routed and every payout is processed, using ML-driven decisioning to raise approval rates, reduce processing costs, and keep funds moving reliably across multiple PSPs and payment rails.
Responsibilities
- Own the product strategy, PRDs, and roadmap for Deposit Routing, Smart Cascading, Payout STP, and Payment Back-Office Tooling
- Collaborate daily with Data Science teams to build, validate, and deploy ML models that predict transaction success probabilities and optimize gateway choices
- Partner with Treasury and Payment Ops to monitor PSP liquidity levels, contractual volume commitments, and payout failure rates
- Design intuitive back-office interfaces for Payment Ops and Risk teams to handle manual reviews efficiently with full transactional context
- Monitor real-time payment health, routing decision latency (P95), and gateway uptime, implementing instant failovers when PSP degradation is detected
Requirements
- 3+ years of Product Management experience in Payments, FinTech, Payment Orchestration, or High-Volume Acquiring/Payout platforms
- Deep domain expertise in deposit routing, cascading, acquirer fee structures (interchange, scheme fees, gateway markups), and payout rails (SEPA Instant, SWIFT, local rails, crypto payouts)
- Strong understanding of Machine Learning concepts applied to payments (predictive classification, feature engineering, A/B & Shadow Mode testing, false positive trade-offs) with a proven track record of working closely with Data Scientists.
- Solid technical grasp of Payment Ops workflows, STP rules orchestration, velocity limits, and real-time liquidity awareness
- Proficient in SQL to independently query transactional data, analyze decline codes, and evaluate routing performance
- Data-First Mindset: You make routing and product decisions strictly based on quantitative evidence, statistical significance, and cost-benefit analysis
- Cross-Functional Orchestrator: Ability to seamlessly bridge the gap between Data Scientists, Systems Engineers, Payment Ops, Risk/AML Compliance, and Treasury teams
- Operational Rigor: Obsessive attention to detail regarding edge cases, double-charge prevention, and fail-safe logic in financial transaction flows
- English: Upper-Intermediate (B2) or higher, written and spoken
Will be a plus
- Experience in high-risk FinTech, CFD/Forex brokerages, Crypto exchanges, or iGaming payment orchestration
- Practical literacy in Python for data manipulation, log parsing, or verifying Data Science notebook outputs
- Experience integrating crypto payout gateways or automated liquidity rebalancing tools
