Reach

About The Position

We're scaling Reach's financial infrastructure to power global e-commerce at a level of complexity most platforms never touch. This isn't a feature factory role—it's a technical product role where you'll own critical systems that process payments, manage FX exposure, enable treasury operations, and handle tax compliance across every jurisdiction we serve. You'll work at the intersection of technical feasibility (with Engineering), regulatory constraints (with Legal and Compliance), financial operations (with Finance and Treasury), and business growth (with Sales and executive leadership). Your decisions determine how we scale our platform, and your technical judgment shapes what's possible. This is a builder role. We have product-market fit and we're in scale-up mode. You'll optimize what we've built, modernize aging systems, and build new capabilities that unlock partnerships and revenue growth. The challenge isn't figuring out if customers want what we're building—it's figuring out how to deliver increasingly complex financial infrastructure at global scale. Reach enables companies to sell globally as a Merchant of Record—handling payments, tax, compliance, and logistics in over 100 countries. Our offering is uniquely comprehensive, which makes it uniquely complex. What we've built works, and now we're scaling it. You'll own the financial infrastructure that makes all of this possible. One day you're evaluating tax integration partners, the next you're implementing treasury systems with Finance, the next you're deciding which payment methods unlock growth in new markets. There's no shortage of lofty goals or interesting problems. This role reports to the VP of Product and sits at the center of Reach's technical and operational engine. If you thrive on complexity, value autonomy, and want your technical judgment to directly shape how a company scales globally, this is the role.

Requirements

5+ years in product management with significant focus on payments, fintech infrastructure, or financial systems
Proven track record shipping technical, back-end systems—not just customer-facing features
Experience working within regulatory frameworks (payment processing regulations, tax compliance, treasury operations)
Direct exposure to payment processors, FX providers, tax engines, or treasury management platforms
Comfortable working with engineers on technical architecture, API design, data models, and system integrations
Technical depth: You can discuss system architecture, data flows, API contracts, and edge cases with engineers—and hold your own
Domain learning velocity: You don't need to be a tax expert today, but you'll need to become an expert on how we do tax, payments, FX, and treasury—quickly
Judgment under ambiguity: You can make decisions with incomplete information, balancing technical debt against business velocity
Systems thinking: You understand how payments, FX, treasury, and tax intersect—and how a change in one area ripples across the platform
Operational excellence: You ship things that work at scale, withstand regulatory scrutiny, and don't break when edge cases appear
Builder mentality: You roll up your sleeves and solve problems wherever you can—this isn't a "stay in your lane" environment
You're energized by technical complexity, not intimidated by it
You believe in shipping thoughtful, scalable solutions—not quick hacks that create future debt
You're comfortable with autonomy and clear accountability—you don't need your hand held
You see cross-functional collaboration as part of the job, not a distraction from it
You understand that global commerce is messy, and "simple" solutions rarely work when you're operating across currencies, jurisdictions, and regulatory regimes

Responsibilities

Core payments engine: Reliability, routing logic, processor integrations, reconciliation systems, and performance optimization
FX infrastructure: Rate management, currency pair expansion, hedging support, and margin optimization
Treasury management: Partner with Finance on system implementation, tooling decisions, and operational workflows that manage liquidity and cash positioning
Tax product: Own our full tax offering—calculation logic, jurisdiction expansion, compliance features, and integrations that power our Merchant of Record value proposition
Payout Infrastructure: Partner with Finance to automate merchant payouts globally—optimizing for accuracy, timeliness, and cost across payment rails, banking partners, and currencies
Cross-functional execution: Bridge Engineering, Finance, Legal, Compliance, and Operations—translating between technical constraints and business requirements without losing the thread
