Technical Product Manager

Technical Product Manager

Miami, FL

Full Time

Role Summary:

The Technical Product Manager owns the technical health and delivery readiness of the payments product backlog. This person works at the intersection of systems analysis, engineering, architecture, and operations — grooming stories to a build-ready state, defining and enforcing non-functional requirements, and serving as the escalation point for technical trade-offs across the platform.

Key Responsibilities:

• Groom technical user stories in partnership with Systems Analysts, and streamline the technical backlog.
• Identify and set sprint cadence, and ensure backlog items are build-ready (clear scope, dependencies, and NFRs defined).
• Coordinate with the SQA team on performance and load testing.
• Define and track product success metrics: adoption, reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency.
• Balance new feature delivery against technical-debt reduction.
• Own the implementation of non-functional requirements in partnership with Engineering:
• Performance
• Security
• Resiliency
• Observability
• Act as the escalation point for technical trade-off decisions.
• Partner with Architects to prevent platform fragmentation.
• Partner with the Technical Product Owner and Engineering to define the Definition of Ready (DoR) and Definition of Done (DoD), and to confirm stories are technically feasible before sprint commitment.
• Partner with Operations to:
• Ensure regulatory and risk considerations are built into product design.
• Validate auditability, logging, and controls.
• Support UAT and SIT readiness.
• Own production readiness and post-release stabilization.

Fraud, Compliance & Risk

• OFAC screening — Fircosoft.
• AML / BSA regulatory frameworks.
• Regulatory and risk considerations embedded in product design.

Non-Functional & Engineering Practices

• Resiliency and observability.
• Performance and load-testing collaboration with SQA.
• Agile delivery, DoR / DoD discipline, and sprint planning.
