Technical Product Owner Payments

About the Role: Technical Product Owner Payments at JobLeads

The Technical Product Owner Payments role at JobLeads is centered on shaping and scaling the backbone of our global subscription business. This isn't just about enabling transactions; it's about architecting a global, PSP-agnostic payment ecosystem that is resilient, adaptable, and built for expansion. This is a hands-on, technical product role where you will work closely with Engineering, Payments Operations, and external PSP partners to design, integrate, and optimize our payment stack, driving the evolution of our global payment infrastructure.

The Team

We are building a global subscription engine, and payments are at its core. Every successful transaction, every seamless renewal, and every expansion into a new market begins with a resilient, intelligent payment infrastructure. Our team thrives at the intersection of technology, scale, and performance. We think globally, build for durability, and move with intention. Engineers, product leaders, and payments specialists collaborate closely, driven by a shared mission: to create a flexible, future-proof payment ecosystem that powers sustainable growth. If you’re someone who sees systems instead of silos and architecture instead of features, you’ll feel right at home here.

Your Role

As our Technical Product Owner Payments, you will shape and scale the backbone of our subscription business.

What You'll Need

• 3+ years of experience in Product Management or Product Ownership.
• Proven, hands-on experience integrating PSPs such as Adyen, Stripe, Checkout.com, Worldpay, or PayPal.
• Experience working with payment orchestration platforms or multi-PSP environments.
• Strong understanding of: Payment flows (authorization, capture, refunds, recurring payments), Tokenization and recurring billing logic, 3DS and SCA fundamentals, Webhooks and API-based integrations.
• Confidence discussing APIs, payload structures, error codes, and system architecture with engineers.
• A structured, analytical, and execution-focused mindset.
• Ability to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions.

Nice If You Have

• Experience in subscription-based or recurring revenue business models.
• Exposure to global payment expansion strategies.
• Experience improving authorization rates or payment performance optimization.

What You Can Expect On Board

• Ownership of a mission-critical domain that directly drives revenue and global expansion.
• A collaborative, high-impact product and engineering culture.
• The opportunity to design infrastructure that scales across markets and millions of transactions.
• Autonomy to shape the roadmap and influence architectural decisions.
• A team that values reliability, performance, and long-term maintainability over quick fixes.
• Annual company summer getaway + team meetups across the EU.

Payments are more than transactions; they’re the foundation of trust, growth, and global reach. In this role, you won’t just manage a backlog; you’ll architect the infrastructure that powers our future.
