Jr. Product Manager
FIS is a leader in fintech, providing a unified platform for financial institutions. The Jr. Product Manager will support and scale integrations into core banking systems, ensuring accurate data flow and technical requirements are met for engineering teams.
Responsibilities
- Own the field-level mapping between core banking schemas (SOAP/REST/Legacy) and our internal data models
- Ensure that data required for underwriting and account opening is accurately translated across systems
- Take high-level integration goals from the team and translate them into detailed technical user stories and JSON payload specifications for engineering
- Maintain high-quality technical documentation for each core provider, including API specifications, sequence diagrams, and configuration guides
- Create and update internal 'Core Integration Playbooks' to ensure that the knowledge of how to connect to specific banking cores is centralized and repeatable
- Lead User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for all new core integrations
- Document edge cases and identify bugs specifically related to data discrepancies between the Core and the LOS
- Serve as the first point of contact for engineering when technical roadblocks arise during the integration build, providing clarity on core data behavior and requirements
- Assist the team in transitioning from 'custom projects' to 'standardized products' by identifying commonalities across core providers to help build reusable 'Core Adapters.'
- Build the internal toolkits and technical checklists used by Implementation and Sales Engineering teams to validate core connectivity during the onboarding cycle
- Utilize best of breed tools/agents to bring velocity, scale and repeatability to our integration processes
Skills
- Strong interest in—or previous exposure to—banking 'Cores' (e.g., FIS, Fiserv, Jack Henry) and understand their fundamental role in the financial ecosystem
- Comfortable reading API documentation, reviewing data schemas, and discussing technical concepts (like authentication or payload structures) with engineers
- Meticulous with data. Understand that in core integrations, a single mismapped field can disrupt a loan application or account opening
- Can navigate 'bank-speak' from our clients' IT departments and translate it into 'tech-speak' for our internal development teams
- Resourceful researcher who can dig into legacy documentation to find the specific data points needed to solve an integration gap
