• Minimum 7+ years of experience in Technical Product Management, Product Ownership, Technical Program Management, or Software Engineering.
• Mandatory experience in the Payments industry, with strong knowledge of digital payments and payment processing platforms.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, system integrations, and software architecture.
• Experience working closely with software engineering teams throughout the SDLC.
• Ability to understand architecture diagrams, API specifications, system workflows, and technical documentation.
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments as a Product Owner or Technical Product Manager.
• Excellent analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills are essential, with the ability to communicate effectively with global technical and business stakeholders.

Preferred Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Experience with payment technologies such as tokenization, authentication, digital wallets, EMV, Secure Remote Commerce (SRC), or payment gateways.
• Familiarity with PCI DSS, security‑by‑design principles, and payment industry regulations.
• Experience with Domain‑Driven Design (DDD), event‑driven architecture, Kubernetes, cloud platforms, or modern DevOps practices.

Key Attributes

• Highly technical with the ability to engage confidently with software engineers and architects.
• Strong platform mindset focused on scalability, reliability, and reuse.
• Excellent ownership and execution skills.
• Data‑driven decision maker with strong analytical capabilities.
• Collaborative, proactive, and comfortable working in fast‑paced Agile environments.
