Astra Finance is an all-in-one payments platform that provides an API for processing instant payments between bank accounts and cards. It is designed for product teams aiming to embed secure and fast payment solutions while minimizing the risk of fraud and failures. With features like instant disbursements, payout options, and accelerated ACH transfers, Astra Finance offers a full-stack payment processing solution, making it an ideal choice for fintech companies looking to streamline their payments infrastructure.

📋 Description

• Define and maintain Astra's API contract philosophy – versioning strategy, backwards compatibility standards, deprecation policies, and schema design principles • Write detailed platform specs that engineering can ship from: precise, edge-case-aware, and grounded in how real customers build • Own the platform roadmap – balancing foundational investments (auth, observability, extensibility) against customer-facing features and reliability work • Conduct technical discovery with Astra's most sophisticated customers to identify platform gaps and extensibility needs • Partner with engineering to review API design, maintain developer ergonomics standards, and hold the bar on platform quality • Work with solutions and implementation teams to understand where customers get stuck, break, or build workarounds – and translate that into platform requirements • Drive the developer experience roadmap in partnership with docs, solutions engineering, and DevRel functions as they mature • Represent platform strategy in customer conversations, partnership discussions, and technical due diligence processes

🎯 Requirements

• 6+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years building developer-facing platform or API products at a technical infrastructure company • Deep expertise in API design – REST, webhooks, event-driven architecture – and strong opinions about what makes a platform great to build on • Experience owning a platform roadmap across authentication, configuration, extensibility, and observability layers • Strong understanding of how infrastructure companies create lock-in through developer experience, not just features • Comfort reasoning about systems-level tradeoffs: latency vs. consistency, configurability vs. complexity, generality vs. opinionation • Track record of operating as a principal-level IC – setting direction, influencing without authority, and driving outcomes across engineering and go-to-market • Exceptional written communication; you can produce a platform spec that is simultaneously a product document and a technical contract • Payments context is a plus, not a requirement – but intellectual curiosity about how money moves is required.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive compensation with equity in a growing fintech company. • Remote-first culture with flexible working arrangements • Small team, big impact — your work directly supports Astra’s ability to scale responsibly • Professional growth opportunities in compliance and risk management • Mission-driven — build infrastructure that powers financial innovation while meeting the highest regulatory standards
