Technical Product Manager: Payments Reporting
About the job
- Direct experience with Scaled Agile Framework or scaled Agile, including running Program Increment planning, epics, and cross-team dependency tracking.
- Strong Jira fluency, including epic structure and dependency tables across teams.
- Experience running mandate-driven or compliance-driven roadmaps in banking, fintech, healthcare, or similar regulated environments.
- Exposure to data or reporting pipelines, business intelligence-adjacent team leadership, or schema change management; writing SQL is not required.
- Experience managing multiple parallel teams and backlogs at once, not just multiple priorities within a single team.
- Comfort using Claude Code or similar artificial intelligence coding tools.
- Own the reporting roadmap, including directly examining report schemas and data pipelines and reimagining how reporting is done.
- Run Program Increment planning with epics, story-point sizing, sprint mapping, and confidence votes across multiple concurrent priorities.
- Manage cross-team dependencies by surfacing and negotiating blockers beyond the role’s own team board.
- Drive delivery on regulatory and compliance mandates, including fee simplification, fee label mapping, and IFPA reporting requirements.
- Sanity-check technical discussions with engineers on schema changes, regression testing, batch uploads, and reconciliation work.
- Help prioritize the security backlog and distinguish remediation from mitigation.
- Coordinate with a platform team on infrastructure dependencies, such as Java version upgrades, that affect the roadmap.
- Present status and tradeoffs to non-engineering stakeholders, including legal, compliance, and executive audiences.
- Reimagine existing reporting processes and propose ways to structure, automate, or simplify them.
- Background in payments, card network processing, or financial settlement systems; settlement, fee billing, or interchange experience is a plus.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Kunai’s October 2026 site markets AI, cloud, and data engineering aggressively.
- LinkedIn showed active hiring in March 2026, including cloud and fullstack roles.
- PwC’s network access should expand Fortune 500 banking deals and cross-sell opportunities.
What critics are saying
- PwC integration can erase Kunai’s standalone brand by 2026, collapsing employer identity.
- Consulting work depends on bank budgets; downturns freeze transformations and delay renewals.
- Large firms like Accenture and EPAM commoditize similar AI-cloud engineering, squeezing margins fast.
What makes Kunai unique
- Kunai sells banking-domain product teams, not generic staff augmentation, since 2015.
- Its portfolio spans payment networks, top banks, and unicorns, reinforcing deep fintech credibility.
- PwC’s August 2025 acquisition gives Kunai enterprise distribution and global delivery leverage.
