The Opportunity

We are seeking a rare talent: a product leader with a systems-thinking mindset, fluency in platform engineering and data architecture, and the ability to drive cross-functional alignment. This is a specialized role focused on owning our data strategy and shaping the evolution of our platform from a decomposing monolith to a modern, extensible microservices architecture.

What You'll Own:

Platform Service Strategy & Governance

• Define the vision and roadmap for platform-level microservices, identifying capabilities for new builds and evolution from existing modules.
• Own the API contract strategy, establishing standards for versioning, backward compatibility, and breaking change governance.
• Establish principles and governance for migrating module-level services to shared platform services.
• Lead net-new platform service development in partnership with architecture and engineering.
• Champion developer experience by ensuring internal engineering teams have the necessary documentation, contracts, and tooling.

Data Architecture & Monetization Strategy

• Partner with Analytics and Architecture to evolve the Snowflake lakehouse strategy, incorporating product and commercial context.
• Own the data product identification process, determining which enriched datasets are valuable and monetizable for strategic partners (FI, ERP).
• Define data governance requirements for regulated partner use cases, including lineage, access controls, residency, and consent.
• Collaborate with commercial and partnerships teams to translate data product concepts into viable partner offerings.

Performance, Scalability & International Readiness

• Represent the product perspective in platform performance and reliability initiatives, ensuring alignment with business impact.
• Address latency, load, and scalability gaps, driving for clear diagnosis and remediation.
• Define product requirements for international expansion, including multi-geography, multi-currency, and increased volume support, targeting late 2026 / early 2027.

What We're Looking For:

Required

• 5–8+ years of product management experience, with significant time in platform, infrastructure, or API-focused roles.
• Deep technical fluency to engage credibly with engineering and architecture on microservices, API design, and distributed systems tradeoffs.
• Demonstrated experience with data strategy (data pipelines, warehousing, data product development) in a product context.
• Proven track record of influencing without authority across engineering, data, and business teams.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and building structure where it doesn't exist.

Strongly Preferred

• Experience with Snowflake or comparable cloud data platforms.
• Familiarity with data monetization, data sharing, or partner data product models, especially with FIs or ERP partners.
• Experience with API governance, versioning strategies, or developer platform products.
• Background in fintech, B2B SaaS, or collaborative commerce platforms.
• Exposure to regulatory and compliance considerations around data sharing (e.g., SOC 2, data residency, financial data regulations).

Organizational Change Management

This role requires navigating organizational transformation. You will need to:

• Build credibility and trust with engineering and architecture leaders.
• Drive a platform-first mindset and cultural change without direct authority.
• Maintain executive alignment and communicate performance signals transparently.

Salary Range: $160,000 - $180,000 per year
