About us

Zetaris is the world's leading data harness for AI - the open, vendor-agnostic layer that harnesses an organization's data engines and AI models so every agent, analyst, and application can build on enterprise data instantly. Zetaris lets teams query, govern, and activate their data in place, across every source and system they own, without data movement, ETL pipelines, or proprietary lock-in. By harnessing underlying engines such as Spark, Presto, and Trino, Zetaris delivers governed, real-time access to data wherever it lives - with full sovereignty over security, cost, and compliance.

As enterprises face mounting pressure to deliver AI ROI on fragmented, distributed data estates, Zetaris provides the open data infrastructure that turns that ambition into measurable outcomes.

Role Overview A Technical Product Manager who will own a product vertical end-to-end, from strategy and outcomes through technical design, delivery and launch.

We are AI-native by design, but AI is an enabler, not the end goal. What matters is knowing when AI delivers meaningful value, when deterministic systems must take precedence, and how to build products that are reliable, explainable, auditable and worthy of trust.

This is a hands-on role for a product manager with a strong technical foundation. You will work closely with engineers on system design, make difficult trade-offs under technical, regulatory and operational constraints, and bring customer expectations, Engineering, Design, Compliance and Operations together around explicit product decisions.

Responsibilities

Own the strategy, design and delivery of a product vertical, including:

- Own a product vertical end-to-end, including strategy, metrics, roadmap, priorities and delivery.
- Shape technical design with Engineering across APIs, data flows, ledgering, reconciliation, failure handling, security and scalability.
- Drive trade-offs across correctness, speed, cost, reliability,



regulatory requirements and user experience.
- Build regulatory requirements into the product across KYC, transaction monitoring, limits, privacy and licensing.
- Apply AI where it improves outcomes, with clear evaluation, safeguards, human oversight and failure handling.
- Ship products around external dependencies, including regulatory approvals, financial rails and third-party partners.
- Align Engineering, Design, Compliance, Operations, Mortgage and Finance around clear product decisions and launch requirements.

Attributes

- Essential: 5+ years of product management experience, including ownership of complex technical products from strategy through to production.
- Strong technical foundation across system architecture, APIs, databases, workflows, failure modes and distributed systems.
- Experience working closely with engineers, with the ability to review, challenge and contribute to technical designs.
- Experience in payments, banking, remittance, insurance, trading or another regulated, high-consequence product domain.
- Strong product judgement and the ability to make difficult trade-offs under technical, regulatory and operational constraints.
- Experience building with LLMs or AI products, including evaluation, reliability and understanding when AI should not be used.
- Highly regarded: Hands-on experience with ledgering, reconciliation or financial rails.
- Experience shipping products that depend on regulatory approvals or third-party partners.
- Familiarity with KYC, AML, transaction monitoring and privacy requirements.

Behavioural & Soft Skills





- Takes end-to-end ownership of outcomes, not just outputs.
- Makes clear decisions under constraint and explains the reasoning so others can follow and challenge it.
- Balances ambition with discipline - knows when speed matters and when correctness must come first.
- Earns the trust of engineers through technical credibility and well-prepared decisions.
- Brings different functions together and resolves competing priorities constructively.
- Stays curious and evidence-driven, particularly when assessing where AI adds value.
- Communicates clearly and confidently with technical, regulatory and business audiences.
- Acts with integrity, professionalism and accountability in all interactions and decisions.
