About this role
Who are YapilyWhy we exist, and where we’re headed:
Our Mission: Redefining how the world interacts with value.
Our Vision: A world without financial friction
Our Purpose: To empower everyone to access and move value
At Yapily, we’re building a powerful, scalable, and secure open banking infrastructure that redefines how the world interacts with value.
Our open banking platform powers leading companies, such as Adyen, Intuit QuickBooks, and Google. By delivering payment initiation, bank data access, and pre-built products, we enable businesses to innovate fast and push the boundaries of financial technology.
As an early pioneer of open banking, we’re actively shaping the future of this industry with unrivalled expertise and a relentless focus on innovation.
What we’re looking for
Yapily's platform is what thousands of companies build on to connect to banks across Europe. This role owns its core: the account, identity, and access layer that every Yapily product is built on and that customers, and increasingly their AI agents, integrate through. You'll set its strategy and standards, and own the contracts other teams depend on, so they can build quickly without reinventing the basics.
You'll also own the data products built on that foundation, like analytics and reporting, and the enterprise capabilities that take Yapily upmarket. You'll work alongside engineering, and partner with commercial and marketing on pricing, packaging, and go-to-market. It's a technical product role for a systems thinker who is credible with engineers and comfortable on the commercial side.
