Description & Requirements

Most people are familiar with the term PAYBACK. We would like to introduce ourselves to you in more detail. You probably know PAYBACK – either from the question at the checkout or through our widely used shopping app. And we hope, of course, that you answer "Yes" at the checkout, because with us you collect more than just °Points. Whether customer, partner, or colleague: With PAYBACK, every action becomes a rewarding experience.


As Senior Technical Product Manager for our core API products, you will be part of an international team (product managers, developers, and architects) that plays a key role in shaping our company's API strategy. You will work on solutions that meet both internal requirements and external partner needs—and ensure that APIs not only work, but inspire.


YOUR TASKS

  • You develop and be responsible for the company-wide API strategy and align it with our business and technology goals
  • You define governance frameworks for our API platform and ensure compliance with them
  • You manage the entire API lifecycle – from idea to design and deployment to versioning and decommissioning
  • You develop guidelines for REST, GraphQL, and Async APIs and establish a decentralized design review process
  • You support development teams with API documentation and ensure an optimal developer experience
  • You analyze API usage and performance and derive strategic measures from this


YOUR PROFILE

  • You have several years of relevant professional experience as a product manager, API strategist, or architect in a technical environment (e.g., API gateway, developer platform)
  • You own in-depth knowledge of API protocols such as REST, OpenAPI/Swagger—ideally also GraphQL or Async APIs
  • You are familiar with identity and access management (OAuth 2.0, JWT, identity providers)
  • You can communicate complex technical concepts in an understandable way and impress with your confident stakeholder management skills
  • You work in a structured and independent manner and have a hands-on mentality
  • Very good German and English skills round off your profile

OUR BENEFITS

  • Tasty Breaks: Delicious meals in our DINING ROOM – including vegetarian or vegan options, and many are even free of charge
  • Move it, move it: 24/7 access to the GYM, where you can train in our fitness studio, and we cover the costs for you
  • Do it your way: Flexible working hours, 30 days of vacation, up to 2 days of home office per week
  • Easy Going: Germany ticket included
  • Get Together: Team events, social days, ski events, and more
  • Grow like a Pro: Individual training and development opportunities
  • Good Vibes: Dogs are welcome!
