About the role

  • You'll balance long-term platform strategy with rapid execution, making decisions that directly shape expert trust, operational cost, and the company's bottom line.

Responsibilities

  • Own the payout experience: Take full ownership of how experts get paid - from contract terms and time capture through disbursement, retries, and support resolution.
  • Build the ledger and money movement platform: Partner with engineering on the ledger, reconciliation, and payout automation that keep every dollar correct, traceable, and auditable at scale.
  • Understand the business: Work backwards from payout cost, failure rates, support volume, and expert retention to decide what gets built.
  • Get in the weeds: Write specs and PRDs, but also build the dashboards, dig through failed payouts, and make small PRs to unblock yourself.
  • Collaborate: Partner closely with engineering, finance, compliance, operations, and support to ship quickly without breaking trust.
