Technical API Product Owner in Fintech

About the Role:

Infact is seeking an experienced, technical, ambitious, and responsible product owner to join our dynamic engineering team. You will play a key role in designing and delivering credit information API products for our B2B fintech partners.

As the first product owner in the business, you will have the opportunity for broad impact, contributing to every aspect of our AWS-hosted API platform.

You will need to think API-first, care deeply about delivery, and have a passion for improving consumer credit outcomes.

NOTE: This is a product owner role running the backlog and driving the delivery for APIs with the dev team, NOT a product manager role driving vision and business case. You need to have direct API design and delivery experience. OpenAPI and REST should be second nature, and you should know the Postman.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work alongside the development team to define, refine, and deliver API product features
• Collaborate with the CTO and engineers on technical architecture decisions and implementation approaches
• Own the agile processes and product backlog, maintaining and prioritising it to align with business objectives and technical and resource constraints
• Translate ambiguous and early-stage requirements into clear user stories and acceptance criteria
• Assist in API documentation and developer experience improvements

What We’re Looking For:

• 3+ years of experience as a technical product owner or similar role in an API platform company, preferably in fintech or B2B SaaS
• Proficiency in agile methodologies, modern software project management, and continuous delivery tools e.g. Jira, GitHub, CI/CD
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, microservices architecture, and cloud technologies
• Experience with API developer portals and tools, and developer-first thinking e.g. Open API, Postman
• Regulated fintech and early-stage experience is a plus

Work Environment:

• Hybrid & Flexible: Work from home with the flexibility to meet in our central London office 2-3 days per week.
• Collaborative Team: Engage in debates, collaboration, and innovation with a team that values your input.

Why Infact Systems?

• Competitive Benefits: Enjoy 25 days of paid holiday, medical, optical, and dental insurance, flexible working arrangements, and flexible bank holidays.
• Growth Opportunities: Access technical training and AWS certification to advance your career.
• Work-Life Balance: Benefit from unlimited unpaid leave and employer pension contributions.
• Healthy Living: Participate in our cycle-to-work scheme.
