Jr. Product Manager
QED Investors is a company focused on providing a unified digital origination and decisioning platform for financial institutions. They are seeking a technically-minded Product Manager to support and scale integrations into core banking systems, ensuring accurate data flow and documentation for engineering teams.
Responsibilities
- Own the field-level mapping between core banking schemas (SOAP/REST/Legacy) and our internal data models
- Ensure that data required for underwriting and account opening is accurately translated across systems
- Take high-level integration goals from the team and translate them into detailed technical user stories and JSON payload specifications for engineering
- Maintain high-quality technical documentation for each core provider, including API specifications, sequence diagrams, and configuration guides
- Create and update internal "Core Integration Playbooks" to ensure that the knowledge of how to connect to specific banking cores is centralized and repeatable
- Lead User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for all new core integrations
- Document edge cases and identify bugs specifically related to data discrepancies between the Core and the LOS
- Serve as the first point of contact for engineering when technical roadblocks arise during the integration build, providing clarity on core data behavior and requirements
- Assist the team in transitioning from "custom projects" to "standardized products" by identifying commonalities across core providers to help build reusable "Core Adapters."
- Build the internal toolkits and technical checklists used by Implementation and Sales Engineering teams to validate core connectivity during the onboarding cycle
- Utilize best of breed tools/agents to bring velocity, scale and repeatability to our integration processes
Skills
- Strong interest in or previous exposure to banking 'Cores' (e.g., FIS, Fiserv, Jack Henry) and understand their fundamental role in the financial ecosystem
- Comfortable reading API documentation, reviewing data schemas, and discussing technical concepts (like authentication or payload structures) with engineers
- Meticulous with data. Understand that in core integrations, a single mismapped field can disrupt a loan application or account opening
- Can navigate 'bank-speak' from our clients' IT departments and translate it into 'tech-speak' for our internal development teams
- Resourceful researcher who can dig into legacy documentation to find the specific data points needed to solve an integration gap
