React.jsRoles & Responsibilities
We’re looking for an Engineering Manager who treats engineering management as a systems problem, not a career milestone.
You’ll lead engineers while staying close to the technical core—owning architecture, modeling decisions, and execution quality in a domain where correctness matters as much as velocity.
Technical & Product Ownership
- Build and evolve core platform features
- Design and ship APIs, services, and integrations that power billing automation, usage metering, invoicing, revenue recognition, and financial reporting.
- Model complex financial workflows
- Work deeply on pricing logic, proration, true-ups, multi-currency handling, approval workflows, and event-driven billing pipelines—where small decisions have long-term consequences.
- Make architectural trade-offs
- Balance “ship it now” against “live with it forever” while scaling systems that process high-volume usage data and real-time financial calculations.
- Stay technically fluent
- You won’t write code every day, but you’ll review PRs, catch subtle bugs, and guide design discussions with confidence.
Team Leadership & Management
- Lead and grow the engineering team
- Mentor and manage engineers across experience levels, setting clear expectations and raising the bar on ownership, execution, and quality.
- Create high-output systems
- Establish clear problem definitions, focused execution cycles, code reviews that actually catch issues, and enough slack for engineers to think—not just ship.
- Debug team dynamics like software
- Observe signals, form hypotheses, intervene deliberately, and measure outcomes—whether the issue is delivery, alignment, or collaboration.
- Build the team intentionally
- Design interviews that surface real problem-solving ability, not just pattern matching. At this stage, every hire shifts the average.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with Product, Finance, and Customer Success to translate real-world contract terms into correct, scalable systems
- Partner with stakeholders to solve ambiguous problems where requirements evolve and trade-offs are unavoidable
- Ensure systems remain accurate, auditable, and compliant as the product scales

Strong Senior Product Manager — Vertical Products (Fintech, Growth & Conversion) Profile
2
Mandatory(Experience 1)- Must have 6+ years of product management experience, with the most recent 3 years spent owning a consumer-facing product surface (app, web funnel, onboarding, checkout, or equivalent B2C surface).
3
Mandatory(Experience 2) - Must have consumer-facing product ownership as the centre of gravity. Backend, API, infra, or internal-tools PMs with no recent consumer-facing surface will not be considered. Backend exposure alongside real consumer-funnel work is fine; a backend centre not.
4
Mandatory(Experience 3)- Must have a metric-backed track record improving conversion, revenue yield, engagement, or lead quality in a consumer funnel — owned numbers, a steady experimentation cadence (A/B tests, rollouts, readouts), and comfort with analytics: funnels, cohorts, drivers, causal reasoning, measurement hygiene.
5
Mandatory(Experience 4)- Must be fluent with AI — active, habitual use of AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or equivalent) in daily product practice.
6
Mandatory(Stakeholder Mgmt)- Must be able to act as the primary link between business leaders, tech teams, and external partners — communicating roadmap, priorities, trade-offs, and performance readouts to senior stakeholders, and working with distributed teams across time zones (Australia, India, Philippines).
7
Mandatory(Product Writing & Agile Delivery)- Must have strong product writing — problem briefs, PRD-lite/user stories, experiment plans, decision logs — and deep working command of Agile frameworks and tools.
8
Mandatory(Company) - Must be from B2C product company. FinTech is the priority . A non-fintech candidate qualifies only if currently or recently at a Series B plus company.
9
Preferred(Skill)- Exposure to LangChain, RAG, or prompt engineering in a product context; experience working directly with data science/ML teams on model-backed features; prior AI features in transactional or financial-services consumer UX.
