[Hiring] Product Manager @Sphere Laboratories

Role Description

Own the product roadmap for Sphere's Brazil market initiatives, working directly with regulated banking partners to bring stablecoin-powered cross-border payment products from concept to launch.

• Lead product discovery, scoping, and delivery for cross-border payment flows — from BRL collection and FX conversion through stablecoin settlement and USD payout.
• Drive API integration strategy between Sphere's infrastructure and partner banking platforms, defining requirements and working closely with engineering to ship.
• Work with engineering - setting priorities, writing specs, and unblocking execution day-to-day.
• Serve as the primary product interface with stakeholders at local partners — building trust, navigating regulatory nuance, and aligning on product direction.
• Work cross functionally with other product domain owners to ensure flows meet the needs of global customers, as well as compliance and regulatory requirements from US based entities.
• Define and track product metrics using data to inform direction and decisioning.
• Identify and scope new product opportunities within the Brazil market beyond the initial partnership — including new customer segments, payment corridors, and stablecoin use cases.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of product management experience.
• Not product ownership, not project management — actual PM work: running discovery, writing specs, shipping product, and iterating based on what you learn.
• Payments domain experience.
• Experience at a regulated financial institution or fintech operating under financial regulation — a bank, a licensed payment processor, an FX broker, or equivalent.
• Fluent in English and Portuguese, with strong written communication in both.
• Experience working directly with engineering teams.
• Developed platform and/or API products.

Requirements

• You've worked on bank integrations, payment processors, FX, or settlement infrastructure. You understand how money moves and what breaks.
• You've taken at least one product from inception through launch.
• You've had a squad and you've been in the weeds with them on prioritization, tradeoffs, and technical decisions.

Benefits

• High ownership, no playbook: This is early-stage work. You'll be making decisions, building processes from scratch, and setting the direction instead of just following one.
• Adaptability is the job: Strategy pivots here aren't failures, they're how we stay ahead of a fast-moving market and that's our strength.
• Real traction, real stakes: SpherePay is live and trusted by 200+ businesses. SphereNet is in active development with banks and regulators across 18 jurisdictions and counting.
