• Partner with engineering to guide system architecture and design decisions, with a focus on scalability, performance, and extensibility.
• Own platform outcomes, including reliability, latency, and adoption, and ensure consistent delivery of high-quality, production-grade systems.
• Lead the development of a multi-tenant, API-first SaaS platform enabling banks, fintechs, and enterprises to build and scale payment products.
• Build and manage a high-performing team of product managers, establishing strong product practices, clear ownership, and execution discipline.

• 7 - 10 years of product management experience, including leadership experience in fintech, payments, or SaaS platforms.
• Demonstrated experience building and scaling issuer-side card systems and/or UPI infrastructure.
• Strong engineering background with the ability to engage in system design, APIs, and distributed systems. Your Edge Over the Rest

• Track record of delivering large-scale, high-availability transaction platforms.
• Engineering background is required; an advanced degree in management is a plus.

The Problem We’re Solving Financial institutions today are held back by legacy systems that are slow, rigid, and expensive to scale. Launching or evolving credit, lending, and UPI products often takes months, requires heavy engineering effort, and limits the ability to create personalized customer experiences. At the same time, customer expectations have changed - speed, flexibility, and tailored financial products are no longer optional. Banks and fintechs need infrastructure that allows them to innovate quickly, adapt continuously, and scale without friction. This is where we come in. At Vegapay, we are building modern, configurable fintech infrastructure that enables banks, NBFCs, and enterprises to design, launch, and manage credit and payment programs with ease. Our platform brings together flexibility, speed, and control - helping our partners unlock new growth opportunities and deliver personalized banking experiences at scale.

The Opportunity Ahead

• Build high-impact user experiences that power real-world fintech products
• Own features end-to-end - from UI to production
• Work closely with product, design, and backend teams in a fast-moving setup
• High ownership, fast learning, and the opportunity to shape how our frontend evolves
