Technical Product Manager: Payments Reporting

About the role

Kunai builds full‑stack technology solutions for banks, credit and payment networks, infrastructure providers, and their customers. Together, we are changing the world’s relationship with financial services. At Kunai, we help our clients modernize, capitalize on emerging trends, and evolve their business for the coming decades by remaining tech‑agnostic and human‑centered. You’ll own reporting for a team managing fee simplification, regulatory mandates, security, and infrastructure work, digging into the data and reports yourself and reimagining how reporting gets done.

Responsibilities

• Own the reporting roadmap, digging into report schemas and data pipelines yourself rather than relying only on engineers to translate.
• Run PI planning with epics, story‑point sizing, sprint mapping, and confidence votes across multiple concurrent priorities.
• Manage cross‑team dependencies, surfacing and negotiating blockers rather than just tracking your own team’s board.
• Drive delivery on regulatory and compliance mandates, including fee simplification, fee label mapping, and IFPA reporting requirements.
• Sanity‑check technical conversations with engineers on schema changes, regression testing, batch uploads, and reconciliation work.
• Help prioritize a security backlog, understanding the difference between remediation and mitigation.
• Coordinate with a platform team on infrastructure dependencies like Java version upgrades that affect your roadmap.
• Present status and trade‑offs to non‑engineering stakeholders, including legal, compliance, and executive audiences.
• Reimagine existing reporting processes and propose better ways to structure, automate, or simplify them.

Requirements

• Direct SAFe or scaled Agile experience running PI planning, epics, and cross‑team dependency tracking.
• Strong Jira fluency, including epic structure and dependency tables across teams.
• Background in payments, card network processing, or financial settlement systems, settlement, fee billing, or interchange experience (a big plus).
• Experience running mandate‑driven or compliance‑driven roadmaps in banking, fintech, healthcare, or similar regulated environments.
• Exposure to data or reporting pipelines, BI‑adjacent team leadership, or schema change management, even without writing SQL yourself.
• Experience managing multiple parallel teams and backlogs at once.
• Comfort using Claude Code or similar AI coding tools.

Education

Minimum Degree Required: Bachelor’s Degree. In lieu of a degree, three years of specialized training and/or progressively responsible work experience in technology for each missing year of college is required.

Benefits
