About the role

• Write detailed product specifications covering routing logic, fallback behavior, authentication flows and provider‑specific edge cases.
• Partner with engineering to evaluate feasibility, trade‑offs and system design decisions.
• Define and track success metrics such as authorization rate, conversion, latency and cost efficiency.
• Lead launch readiness and iterate post‑launch based on real‑world performance data.
• Communicate product decisions clearly across engineering, design and go‑to‑market teams.

• Strong product ownership experience delivering measurable outcomes in complex technical environments.
• Proven ability to own a product area or feature set end‑to‑end with business impact.
• Capability to independently define and structure ambiguous problem spaces.
• Experience making autonomous trade‑offs across scope, technical debt, quality and delivery timelines.
