Technical Product Manager (Superapp)

We're building a larger, dedicated Platform team at Lendable, increasing our investment in the infrastructure that enables our products and engineering teams to scale.

As a Technical Product Manager, you'll own what we prioritise and why, giving engineers the business context they need while helping Product and leadership understand the impact and opportunities that Platform enables.

Responsibilities:

• Own platform stability as a primary accountability, including SLA/SLO metrics, incident rates, and release quality.
• Hold release gating authority: block features from production that don't meet testing standards or introduce unacceptable regression risk.
• Enforce CI/CD standards centrally so pods don't fragment into one-off solutions.
• Track and report stability metrics alongside commercial outcomes.
• Own the business case for platform investment and answer "why are we spending six engineers on this for three months?"
• Track platform impact in business terms: developer velocity, incident cost, time-to-market, reliability, capacity.
• Own the platform backlog, prioritised by business value and sequenced to unblock the highest-value product teams first.
• Make trade-offs explicit: "if we do X now, we defer Y by Z weeks - here's what that means for products depending on us".
• Ensure every initiative has a defined success metric that non-engineers can track.
• Act as the single point of contact for Pod Leads: business requirements coming from pods and engineering/developer requirements flowing to pods.
• Make platform work visible to leadership - regular forums with product MDs and PMs to capture upcoming dependencies before they become blockers.
• Drive cross-team collaboration and buy-in with other PMs; engage architecture in technical design.
• Contribute as an engineer: write code, review PRs, and participate in architecture design.

Requirements:

• Deep, hands-on engineering background.
• Strong commercial instinct: can build a business case, speak to P&L impact, and hold a line on ROI.
• Exceptional stakeholder management across product, engineering, and finance.
• Comfortable with ambiguity - platform value is often indirect and long-horizon.
• Track record of contributing as an IC while operating at a senior, cross-team level.
• Proactive, low-ego, and clear communicator.

Nice to have:

• Experience in platform, infrastructure, or developer tooling contexts.
• Familiarity with SLA/SLO frameworks and incident management at scale.
• Experience enforcing CI/CD standards across multiple teams or pods.
• Prior work making "invisible" infrastructure legible to non-technical leadership.

Tech stack:

• Platform & backend: Kotlin, AWS, Postgres, RabbitMQ, Docker, Kubernetes.
• Gateway & clients: Node GraphQL gateway, React Native / TypeScript mobile app, Relay.
• Tooling & observability: GitHub, GitHub Actions, Jira, Confluence, Datadog, Sentry, Grafana.
