Title and Summary
Senior Specialist, Product Management
Job Overview:
Mastercard's Gateway division is seeking a dynamic and motivated Product Manager to join our team.
About the Role:
We're reimagining how developers interact with our payment gateway and how AI accelerates product development. This role sits at the intersection of two critical initiatives:
1. API Transformation - Redefining how we ingress traffic, authenticate, and authorize requests to deliver a world-class developer experience.
2. Generative AI Integration - Embedding AI into our product workflows, from requirements and collaboration to testing and artifact generation.
You'll own key parts of the roadmap, demonstrate best practices, and influence how AI reshapes the way we build products. This is a high-impact role for a builder - someone who knows what "good" looks like in generative AI and has already applied it in real-world settings.
What You'll Do:
• Lead API Transformation: Drive product strategy for a major API overhaul - optimizing ingress, authentication, and authorization for developers globally.• Champion Developer Experience: Ensure our gateway is intuitive, secure, and future-ready.• Embed Generative AI in Workflows: Implement LLM-driven processes for requirements, collaboration, testing, and documentation.• Demonstrate AI Best Practices: Set standards for how AI accelerates product development and influence adoption across teams.• Collaborate Across Functions: Partner with engineering, architecture, and design to deliver high-quality solutions.• Shape Roadmap & Execution: Manage priorities, trade-offs, and timelines for both API transformation and AI initiatives.
What Makes You a Great Fit:
• Hands-On Generative AI Experience: You've built or integrated solutions using large language models (LLMs) - in production, serious side projects, or open-source contributions.• Technical Depth: Strong understanding of APIs, developer platforms, and modern integration patterns.• Payment Industry Knowledge: Experience in payments - especially merchant or acquirer side - is highly desirable.• Product Leadership: 2 - 4+ years in product management with experience in technical products or developer tools.• Builder's Mindset: Comfortable with ambiguity, thrives in complex challenges, and loves experimenting with AI-driven workflows.• Collaborative Influencer: Skilled at aligning diverse stakeholders and driving consensus.
Why Join Us:
• Impact at Scale: Redefine developer experience for a global payments network.• AI-Forward Culture: Be part of a team pioneering generative AI in product development.• Career Growth: Visibility with senior leadership and opportunities to lead transformative projects.• Working Environment: Attractive office, bonus, and benefits.
