About the Job
Tapcheck moves real money to hourly workers every day — across bank rails and card rails, inside cutoff windows, at volumes that grow every quarter. The rails work. What's still being built is the platform underneath them: a payments layer designed as services, with clean contracts, defined SLAs, and the ability to absorb the next rail, the next product line, and the next order of magnitude without being rewritten.
We're hiring a Senior Product Manager who knows payments at the settlement level and builds like a platform engineer thinks. You'll own money movement end to end — bank payment types, the payroll card program, and payout experiences — and you'll build it as reusable infrastructure that other teams consume through APIs rather than one-off integrations.
This is a hands-on seat. You'll write the requirements yourself, work embedded with engineering through delivery, and stay accountable through production validation.
You'll also work with real ambiguity. Documentation is incomplete, a lot of current state lives in people's heads, and problems arrive as a recurring symptom rather than a scoped request. You'll be expected to decide with partial information, write down what you assumed, and move — not wait for someone to hand you clarity.
