Building the Future of Open Finance Payward - the parent company behind Kraken, NinjaTrader, Breakout, xStocks, Payward Services and CF Benchmarks - has spent the last 15 years building one of the most modern and globally accessible financial infrastructure platforms in the industry, built to advance an open, global financial system.

Payward

Services is an enterprise infrastructure platform that enables companies to seamlessly integrate trading, payments, funding, and digital asset services through a single unified system. It provides coordinated liquidity, custody, compliance, risk management, and settlement capabilities, reducing operational complexity for fintechs, banks, brokerages, and payment providers.

This is a builder: someone who can own a product roadmap end to end, go deep on how a flow actually works, and ship regulated B2B2C products (KYC/KYB, lending, unified APIs) from concept to launch. Get hands-on with the product itself: how a flow works, where it breaks, what needs to change to make it scale, and what it takes to bring it to market in a regulated setting. Drive cross-functional execution with Engineering, Legal, Compliance, and Finance to turn roadmap priorities into shipped product.

Partner with Legal and Compliance to ensure new product builds meet regulatory requirements as part of the design and build process, rather than as a downstream gate. At a high level, support the operational functions tied to our US regulated entities as needed to keep product work moving.

Strong product management experience: you've owned a roadmap, shipped B2B or B2B2C products, and can speak fluently to product strategy, requirements, and execution. Direct,



hands on experience implementing KYC, either building it in house or standing up a KYC solution to resell or offer to external parties.

Experience building or managing platform products (shared infrastructure, APIs, internal client or partner models) in a B2B or B2B2C context. Comfortable getting into the technical weeds with Engineering, not just managing product from the outside.

Experience building products in a regulated environment, at a financial institution, fintech, or similar, with a solid understanding of how regulation shapes product decisions. An excellent communicator across regulators, boards, engineers, and commercial partners.

Experience working at a KYC/KYB service provider. Crypto or digital assets experience, in industry or through regulated product launches, including familiarity with crypto native operations (treasury and custody). Unless a specific application deadline is stated in the job posting, applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.
