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 own reporting for a team managing fee simplification, regulatory mandates, security, and infrastructure work, digging into the data and reports yourself and reimagining how reporting gets done.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own the reporting roadmap, digging into report schemas and data pipelines yourself rather than relying only on engineers to translate
- Run PI planning with epics, story-point sizing, sprint mapping, and confidence votes across multiple concurrent priorities
- Manage cross-team dependencies, surfacing and negotiating blockers rather than just tracking your own team's board
- Drive delivery on regulatory and compliance mandates, including fee simplification, fee label mapping, and IFPA reporting requirements
- Sanity-check technical conversations with engineers on schema changes, regression testing, batch uploads, and reconciliation work
- Help prioritize a security backlog, understanding the difference between remediation and mitigation
- Coordinate with a platform team on infrastructure dependencies like Java version upgrades that affect your roadmap
- Present status and tradeoffs to non-engineering stakeholders, including legal, compliance, and executive audiences
- Reimagine existing reporting processes and propose better ways to structure, automate, or simplify them
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Direct SAFe or scaled Agile experience running PI planning, epics, and cross-team dependency tracking
- Strong Jira fluency, including epic structure and dependency tables across teams
- Background in payments, card network processing, or financial settlement systems, settlement, fee billing, or interchange experience is a big plus
- Experience running mandate-driven or compliance-driven roadmaps, in banking, fintech, healthcare, or similar regulated environments
- Exposure to data or reporting pipelines, BI-adjacent team leadership, or schema change management, even without writing SQL yourself
- Experience managing multiple parallel teams and backlogs at once, not just multiple priorities within a single team
- Comfort using Claude Code or similar AI coding tools
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.
Minimum Degree Required:
- Bachelor’s Degree, in lieu of a degree, demonstrating in addition to the minimum years of experience required for the role, three years of specialized training and/or progressively responsible work experience in technology for each missing year of college is required
Benefits
- professional development
About this role
Kunai is looking for a Technical Product Manager to own the reporting function for a payments team handling fee simplification, regulatory compliance, security, and infrastructure. You'll be hands-on with data schemas and reporting pipelines rather than delegating all technical details to engineers, while also running PI planning across multiple concurrent priorities and managing dependencies with other teams. The role demands comfort navigating mandate-driven roadmaps in a regulated environment—think fee billing, interchange rules, IFPA reporting, and compliance requirements—and translating complex technical and regulatory tradeoffs to legal, compliance, and executive stakeholders.
This is a full-scale program management role requiring SAFe or scaled Agile expertise, strong Jira fluency, and experience managing multiple teams' backlogs simultaneously. Background in payments processing, card networks, settlement systems, or similar fintech and banking environments is strongly preferred. You should have exposure to data pipelines or schema management and comfort with AI coding tools, though you won't be writing SQL yourself. The position is based in Houston and requires in-office work.
