Principal Product Manager - Point of Sale Payments

What you'll get to do…

• Own the roadmap and full lifecycle for the POS hardware fleet — proprietary OEM devices plus third-party ODM terminals and accessories — from concept through engineering, design, and production validation (EVT/DVT/PVT) to end of life.
• Negotiate and manage relationships with ODM/OEM manufacturers and component suppliers to meet cost, quality, and delivery targets.
• Own product requirements for the device operating system: performance, security, update and patch cadence, app management, and compatibility across the fleet.
• Define the card-present checkout experience — transaction flows, tipping, signature, receipts, surcharging (Rate Saver), and offline payments.
• Translate hardware and OS tradeoffs into business outcomes — cost, margin, NPS, churn, and competitive win rate — and represent the POS product line in roadmap reviews and planning cycles.

Your experience should include…

• 8+ years of product management experience, including meaningful time owning hardware or hardware-adjacent products such as consumer electronics, IoT devices, or payment terminals.
• Direct experience managing a device portfolio spanning proprietary and third-party (ODM/OEM) hardware, including vendor selection and commercial negotiation.
• Working knowledge of device operating systems — requirements, update management, and security — without needing a firmware engineering background.
• Understanding of the payments ecosystem: EMV, PCI compliance, card-present transaction flows, and acquirer and network relationships.
• A track record of taking hardware through full development cycles (EVT/DVT/PVT) and certification processes.

You might also have…

• Experience with SMB or merchant-facing products.
• International hardware deployment experience, including certification and localization.
• Background or fluency in industrial design and hardware or firmware architecture.
• Experience with Android-based device platforms and device networking and connectivity.
