Senior Product Manager - AI Platform (FinTech)

About the Role We are seeking a strategic and technically fluent Senior Product Manager to own the AI platform layer that underpins our vertical SaaS offering for the lending industry. You are responsible for the foundational capabilities—model serving infrastructure, data pipelines, APIs, SDKs, and developer tooling—that enable both internal engineering teams and, in select cases, external integrators to build AI-powered experiences on top of our platform. You have hands-on familiarity with how production of AI systems are built and operated. You can hold a meaningful technical conversation with an ML engineer about inference latency and embedding strategies — and translate those tradeoffs into crisp product decisions. You have shipped platform capabilities, not just features, and you understand the difference: versioned APIs, backward compatibility, SLA contracts, and developer experience are as important to you as end-user outcomes. Candidates with prior experience building software for consumer lending or mortgage—LOS platforms, automated underwriting, document intelligence, or decisioning engines—will move to the top of the queue. Deep domain familiarity shortens the runway to credibility with both engineering and go-to-market teams.
