About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own a defined area of the Core Payments roadmap, working closely with the Senior PM and engineering leads on your squad.
Write clear, thorough technical specifications — API contracts, transaction flows, state transitions, error codes, and acceptance criteria — that engineers can build from without ambiguity.
Reason rigorously about edge cases: what happens on a timeout, a retry, a partial failure, a crash mid-transaction — and specify the correct behaviour for each.
Collaborate daily with engineers on system design; understand the tradeoffs well enough to challenge and be challenged, not just relay requirements.
Coordinate with adjacent squads — Compliance, Core Banking, and the channel teams — whose systems connect into the payment flow.
Partner with operations and finance on reconciliation, settlement, and how payment issues are detected and resolved in production.
Use data to monitor payment success rates, latency, and failure modes, and to prioritise what to fix or build next.
Facilitate agile ceremonies and keep your squad delivering to roadmap and quality goals.

Requirements

What you’ll need

3–5 years of product management experience, with meaningful time on technical or infrastructure products (payments, fintech, ledger, banking, or a comparable backend / platform domain).
Genuine technical depth: comfortable with APIs, data models, and system design discussions; able to read a spec, follow a transaction through multiple systems, and spot the gaps.
Strong grasp of how payments or financial transactions work end-to-end — authorisation, settlement, reconciliation, and the failure modes in between (or the ability to demonstrate you can learn this fast, backed by adjacent experience).
A track record of writing high-quality technical specs and working closely with engineering teams to ship reliable systems.
Precision and rigour — you care about correctness, edge cases, and getting the details right, because in payments the details are the product.
Ability to work with ambiguity and build in a fast-moving, from-scratch environment.
Knowledge of modern development practices like agile and scrum.
Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to make complex technical topics clear to non-technical stakeholders.
Based in Cairo, Egypt (required).
Fluent English and Arabic; French is an advantage.
