About The Role
Yuno is moving toward its 2030 Vision: becoming the autonomous, programmable operating system for global commerce. We are looking for a highly technical, execution-focused Technical Product Manager (TPM) to serve as the Single Threaded Leader (STL) for RAILS — the core transaction path that carries every payment from the moment it enters our systems to the moment funds are settled and secured. This is a broad, foundational mandate spanning five interlocking domains: Connectivity, Payment Orchestration, Transaction Core, Money Operations, and Risk, Trust & Vault. In this role, you sit at the critical intersection of deep technology and business value, defining the end-to-end building blocks required to scale payment execution, money movement, and fraud/PCI protection across Yuno's 11 domains. You are not a backlog manager; you are a “Maker-to-Governor.” You will move between defining product strategy, shaping technical direction, and ensuring reliable operation in production. You possess a sharp product sense and own the end-to-end delivery process for the entire transaction rail within our Agentic Integration Platform. You will lead an autonomous, cross-functional domain pod (or a coordinated set of pods) to build robust, headless capabilities in an environment where resilience, reliability, and operational excellence are non-negotiable. Crucially, you will champion a “You Build It, You Run It” (YBIYRI) engineering culture, ensuring that every component your team delivers — from provider connectors to the card vault — is bank-grade, resilient, and fully owned from code to production.RAILS: What This Mandate Owns
RAILS is the core transaction path — the value chain a payment travels end-to-end. As the STL across this mandate, you will own the roadmap, architecture, and operational health of the following five domains:- 1 · Connectivity: Every integration to external providers and payment methods: adapters, webhooks, credentials and provider certification, built on one shared framework with per-provider config.
- 2 · Payment Orchestration: Decides how each payment is executed: smart routing across providers, retries, failover and client-configurable rules — to maximize approval rate and minimize cost.
- 3 · Transaction Core: The state machine every payment runs through: authorize, capture, refund, void, chargeback. Owns the canonical transaction model, idempotency and event emission.
- 4 · Money Operations: Where money actually moves after authorization: settlement, payouts, reconciliation against provider reports, fees, billing and ledger correctness.
- 5 · Risk, Trust & Vault: Fraud screening, risk scoring and 3DS, plus the card vault: tokenization and secure card storage. The PCI-scoped domain, kept deliberately isolated.
Your Contribution Will Be
- Own single-threaded leadership (STL): Serve as the accountable product leader for the transaction rail, driving alignment, prioritisation, and execution across all teams involved in the payment lifecycle.
- Think end-to-end across the value chain: Understand and optimize the handoffs between domains — how a routing decision in Payment Orchestration affects approval rates, how the Transaction Core's state machine feeds Money Operations' reconciliation, and how Risk, Trust & Vault gates every authorization.
- Drive agentic strategy: Define the “what” and “why” for platform features that move client onboarding toward low-to-no coding effort, from provider certification to routing rules.
- Protect the stability floor: Enforce a “Stop the Line” mentality for quality, maintaining a Stability Floor of highly automated quality assurance across every domain in the rail.
- Provide cross-functional leadership: Lead a high-ownership set of pods staffed with elite engineers across the five domains, partnering with Staff Engineers and the CTO Office to eliminate silos.
- Embed a YBIYRI culture: Evangelize and operationalize the YBIYRI mindset across all five domains, ensuring teams design for multi-tenancy, elastic scaling, and automated observability.
- Prioritize with evidence: Use the RICE framework to turn ambiguous, cross-domain requirements into a single, structured, executable roadmap that balances architectural integrity against market opportunism.
Skills You Need
Minimum Qualifications:- Deep technical foundation: Strong understanding of cloud-native architectures, distributed systems, APIs, event-driven platforms, and modern software engineering practices (Cloud-native/Serverless, Kotlin/Go, gRPC/REST).
- Platform-as-a-Product experience: Proven experience building foundational platform capabilities or complex distributed systems spanning multiple interdependent domains — ideally payments routing, transaction processing, settlement, or fraud/risk infrastructure.
- Execution mastery: Track record of driving delivery velocity across a wide surface area, unblocking engineering teams, managing dependencies across many domains, and optimizing DORA metrics.
- The “Maker” mindset: Preference for clean, modular architecture over monolithic shortcuts, especially when coordinating multiple interlocking domains.
- Commercial sharpness: Ability to articulate technical trade-offs (e.g., tech debt vs. feature velocity, approval rate vs. cost) to executive stakeholders and translate growth goals into technical requirements.
- Domain familiarity: Working knowledge of payment provider integration patterns, smart routing/retry logic, transaction state machines, settlement/reconciliation, and PCI-scoped fraud and vaulting systems.
