About the role:
As a Technical Product Manager for Core Bank Integration at Sardine, you’ll own the strategy and execution for how we connect to banks and payment networks. These integrations are central to how Sardine moves money, manages risk, and supports customers. Your work will enable banks to activate Sardine for account opening, funding, and payments without standalone integration projects.
You’ll lead the roadmap, collaborate with Engineering on scalable integration architecture, and work directly with core providers and pilot banks to achieve certifications and launches. This is a high-impact, delivery-focused role for a technically fluent PM who thrives in fast-paced, integration-heavy environments.
What you’ll be doing:
Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for bank core integrations - from discovery to certification to live pilots.
Design a scalable integration approach that supports multiple bank cores and enables rapid onboarding of new flows.
Lead API mapping and integration design for each core (e.g., Fiserv Communicator Open, Jack Henry).
Build strong partnerships with core providers, pilot banks, and internal teams (Engineering, Risk, Compliance, Ops, BD, Sales) to deliver on timelines.
Maintain clear API specifications, integration playbooks, mappings, and operational runbooks.
Monitor pilot performance (latency, decision outcomes, reliability) and iterate for continuous improvement.
What you’ll need:
5+ years of product management experience in fintech, infrastructure, or platform teams.
3+ years leading integrations with banks, payment processors, or financial systems.
Familiarity with payment rails (ACH, RTP, wires) and account opening flows.
Strong technical fluency - comfortable working with APIs, system architecture, and backend event flows.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Proven ability to deliver complex, cross-functional initiatives from concept to launch.
