Lead Product Manager, Data Platform

Role Description

Alkami is seeking a Lead Product Manager based in the United States to own the strategy, roadmap, and delivery of the data platform that will power much of Alkami's broader product strategy moving forward. This is a senior individual contributor role with influence and scope that extends across multiple engineering groups, multiple product surfaces, and a multi-year platform vision.

In this role, you will lead product across two engineering organizations:

• One focused on data ingestion (acquiring, landing, and onboarding data from a growing set of internal and third-party sources).
• One focused on data cleansing, modeling, and insights generation (curating that data into trusted analytic models and the intelligence that sits on top of them).

Together, these teams form the foundation of a unified data layer that other Alkami product teams build on, and an evolving intelligence layer that takes our machine learning capabilities to the next level.

The ideal candidate combines deep domain knowledge of modern data platforms with the technical fluency to engage credibly with engineering, the strategic judgment to operate at a platform level, and the leadership presence to align stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Data Science, Sales, and Client Success.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related field; advanced degree a plus.
• 10+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time spent on data platforms, analytics products, or developer/internal platforms.
• Demonstrated experience operating at a lead or principal level: setting direction across multiple teams, influencing senior stakeholders, and owning outcomes at a platform or portfolio scope.
• Prior experience in fintech, digital banking, SaaS, or another regulated, data-intensive domain strongly preferred.
• Must be based in and authorized to work in the United States. This is a U.S.-based, remote-first role.

Requirements

• Strong fluency in cloud-native data architectures: data lakes, data warehouses, lakehouse patterns, streaming and batch pipelines, and modern modeling approaches.
• Hands-on familiarity with AWS data services and the broader modern data stack; able to engage credibly with engineers on architectural and trade-off conversations.
• Experience productizing client-facing data and analytics capabilities, including exposing curated and client-owned data sets through unified, analyst-friendly experiences.
• Solid working understanding of machine learning productization—how models move from experimentation to production, and what it takes to build a durable intelligence layer on top of a data platform.
• Experience launching and scaling platform or data products, ideally including a 0–1 offering brought from concept to general availability.
• Deep knowledge of Agile methodologies, including Scrum, and experience leading multiple Agile teams in parallel; comfortable with tools such as Jira and Confluence.
• Strong grasp of security, privacy, compliance, and performance considerations relevant to financial data.

Benefits

• Remote-first environment.
• Unlimited paid time off.
• 401(k) with employer match.
• Diverse and inclusive culture.
