We’re looking for a Staff-level Product Lead to own the payments product surface transaction flows, money movement mechanics, and the developer experience that sits on top of them. This is a deeply technical, highly cross-functional IC role. You won’t manage a team, but you will operate like a principal: setting direction, driving alignment across engineering, compliance, and operations, and taking full ownership of outcomes on Astra’s most revenue-critical product surface.

What You’ll Own

• End-to-end product ownership of payments rails – Visa Direct, Mastercard Move, RTP, FedNow, ACH, and stablecoin – from API contract through settlement and reconciliation
• The transaction lifecycle: authorization, clearing, settlement, dispute/chargeback handling, and exception management
• Developer-facing payments primitives: API design, payload schemas, error surfaces, and webhook contracts that serve sophisticated fintech builders
• Multi-rail routing logic: how Astra selects, fallbacks, and optimizes across rails based on speed, cost, and risk parameters
• Payments compliance surface: Reg E implications, network rule adherence (VCR framework, dispute windows), and AML/sanctions workflow integration
• Rail-specific product strategy and roadmap: identifying capability gaps, emerging network features (e.g., RTP request for payment), and net-new monetization opportunities
• Close partnership with payment operations and engineering on incident response, degraded-rail scenarios, and SLA commitments

What You’ll Do Day-to-Day

• Write rigorous PRDs and technical specs for complex payment flows, with explicit handling of edge cases, failure modes, and regulatory constraints
• Own the product roadmap for your surface area – prioritizing ruthlessly across rail expansions, developer experience improvements, and compliance requirements
• Conduct deep discovery with customers and prospects to surface unmet needs in how they move money
• Partner with engineering to define API contracts, review implementation, and maintain a high bar on developer ergonomics
• Collaborate with compliance and legal on network rule changes,   updates, and card network bulletins – translating regulatory inputs into product requirements
• Work with payment operations to define reconciliation requirements, exception-handling workflows, and ops tooling needs
