Job Description
Product Lead shaping Astra's platform infrastructure and APIs. Collaborating closely with engineering and leadership to enhance developer experience in the fintech domain.
Responsibilities:
- 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
