Why This Role Stands Out
As a Technical Product Manager at Kunai, you'll drive innovation in financial technology, shaping the future of lending with a remote-first approach that offers great flexibility. You will thrive if you are a mid-senior level product leader with experience in backend services and a passion for the financial sector, ready to make a significant impact. Apply to leverage your skills in a dynamic environment focused on growth and cutting-edge solutions.
Quick Overview
Job Description
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 lead product for credit decisioning, fulfillment, and acquisitions in support of a growing Personal Loans business, owning the backend services and platform capabilities that power how loans get approved and issued.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own the product roadmap for credit decisioning, fulfillment, and acquisitions capabilities
- Define requirements for backend services and distributed systems that support Personal Loans origination
- Partner with engineering to design platform-based products that scale across multiple use cases
- Lead scrum teams through planning, backlog management, and delivery ceremonies
- Translate banking and lending requirements into clear, actionable product specs
- Work with credit, risk, and compliance stakeholders to align on decisioning logic and business rules
- Prioritize a backlog that balances new acquisition capabilities with platform reliability and scale
- Make data-informed tradeoffs on what ships now versus what gets sequenced for later
- Communicate roadmap, progress, and decisions clearly to stakeholders and leadership
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Experience leading product for backend services and distributed systems, ideally platform-based products
- Banking or financial services industry experience, credit decisioning or lending a strong plus
- Experience leading scrum teams, including backlog ownership and sprint ceremonies
- Working understanding of AWS and how it shapes product and technical decisions
- Some exposure to front end product work is a plus, but not required
- Engineering background preferred, not required, but comfort going deep on technical detail is important
- Strong stakeholder management skills across business, risk, and engineering teams
- A clear communicator who is collaborative, curious, and comfortable in ambiguity
Our success over the past 20 years is rooted in our exceptional team, which thrives in a culture of collaboration, creativity, and continuous learning.
We are proud to offer our employees a range of benefits, including competitive compensation, professional development opportunities, and flexible work arrangements, all designed to help them thrive. As we continue to expand, we remain committed to cultivating an environment where people feel valued, have a voice, and are given the tools to grow—both personally and professionally—while pushing the boundaries of innovation in the fintech industry.
